    • don't look for objectivity here
    • This "expose" of the Black Panther Party and Huey Newton attempts to pass itself off as a sobering, objective view of the Party that counterbalances overly positive accounts. It is far from...

    • Leaves you wondering
    • This is an interesting look at Rice, her work and her life. But it leaves a lot of unanswered questions. I didn't feel as if I knew her any better after reading the book than I did before.
