It was the year of the Beatles and the Civil Rights Act; of the Gulf of Tonkin and Barry Goldwater's presidential campaign; the year that cities across the country erupted in violence and Americans tried to make sense of the Kennedy assassination.

The true story of the ’60s radical who was at the center of the right wing’s 2008 Obama smear campaign. With a new afterword by the author. Bill Ayers was born into privilege and is today a highly respected educator.

In a new era of antiwar activism and suppression of protest, his story, Fugitive Days, is more poignant and relevant than ever.
