A meticulously researched and well-referenced study of the Weather Underground. . . . A gripping story, drawing important lessons for the younger generation of activists."--Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, author of <i>Outlaw Woman: A Memoir of the War Years, 1960-1975</i></p><p><i>Outlaws of America</i> brings to life the motivations and actions of America's most famous renegades, who bombed their way into history. Through detailed and original research, Dan Berger offers a nuanced and compelling portrait of the group that risked everything in opposition to war and racism.</p><p>This explosive, engaging, and timely book uncovers the untold story of the Weather Underground, from its incendiary beginning to its tumultuous ending--never sparing a critical analysis of the group. Especially noteworthy is Berger's groundbreaking discussion of the infamous 1981 Brinks case, where former Weather Underground members allied with the Black Liberation Army in a failed robbery that resulted in the deaths of three men and the longtime incarceration of several activists.</p><p><i>Outlaws of America</i> is culled from dozens of in-depth interviews with former Weather Underground members, as well as with civil rights activists, Black Panthers, Young Lords, and others--many of whom speak about their experiences publicly here for the first time. The book also features an extensive appendix including Weather Underground communiqués, a chronology of actions, a collection of rare photographs, and current biographical sketches of many ex-Weather Underground members.</p><p><i>Outlaws of America</i> is published at a time of surging interest in the history of the group, immediately following the release of the Oscar-nominated documentary entitled <i>The Weather Underground</i>, of which <i>Outlaws</i> is the essential companion volume.</p><p><b>Dan Berger</b> is a writer, activist, and PhD candidate at the University of Pennsylvania.
