Agents of repression : the FBI's secret wars against the Black Panther Party and the American Indian Movement
"The mentality and operational priorities of the FBI have remained constant despite the supposed 'reforms' it underwent during the late 1970s. In light of the Homeland Security Act, a measure which formally sanctions many of the worst abuses in which the Bureau engaged a generation ago, every activist in the country should become intimately acquainted with the experiences of the Black Panther Party and the American Indian Movement. This South End Press Classics Edition features a new preface by Ward Churchill exposing the FBI's recent efforts to prevent a presidential pardon of Leonard Peltier and its ongoing cover-up of a roster of murders of AIM members and sympathizers. Churchill pays particular attention to the FBI's infiltration of AIM and the murder of Anna Mae Aquash."--Page 4 of cover
