My autobiography, SAYING NO TO POWER (Creative Arts, Berkeley, 1999),
is designed for the general reader. If you teach in the social sciences,
consider it for course use. It was written as a social history of the
U.S. for the past three-quarters of a century through the eyes of a
participant observer in most progressive social movements (I'm 84),
and of the USSR from the standpoint of a Sovietologist (five earlier
books) knowing that country longer than any other in the profession.
Therefore it is also a history of the Cold War. Positive reviews
in The Black Scholar, American Studies in Scandinavia, San Francisco
Chronicle, etc. Introduction by Howard Zinn. Chapters are up at
http://www.billmandel.net where you may also hear/see my defiant
testimonies before Sen. Joe McCarthy in 1953 and the House Un-American
Activities Committee in 1960. Available through all normal channels.
Autographed copies may be obtained from me for $23 postpaid at 4500
Gilbert St. Apt. 426, Oakland, CA. 94611.
