Fugitive Days: Memoirs of an Antiwar Activist

Front Cover
Beacon Press, Jan 1, 2009 - Political Science - 336 pages
Bill Ayers was born into privilege and is today a highly respected educator. In the late 1960s he was a young pacifist who helped to found one of the most radical political organizations in U.S. history, the Weather Underground. In a new era of antiwar activism and suppression of protest, his story, Fugitive Days, is more poignant and relevant than ever.
