David R. Roediger: "The big histories of Students for a Democratic
Society have either ignored or actively despised the organization's
post-1968 incarnations and the revolutionary groupings it generated.
Ron Jacobs' intelligent and balanced _The Way the Wind Blew_ breaks
decisively with this tradition, offering a full and lively account of
the harrowing history of the Weather Underground. The curious
combinations of idealism, mania, egalitarianism, and class blindness
of the Weatherpeople are all on display here, well-situated in a
context of imperialist war and fierce state repression."
The Tamiment Libary is at 70 Washington Square South, New York New
York 10012. This event is free and open to the public.
