ITEM OVERVIEW
In the 1960s, after four years with IBM and two more with the US State Department, William Blum became a radical dissident. As an insider from two worlds, he is well suited to assess the people, events, and ideology of both the "bourgeois" and "radical" cultures. His witty memoir spares neither side of the ideological fence. You'll find unsparing portraits of his movement comrades Jerry Rubin, Allen Ginsberg, and Norman Mailer, as well as the CIA, FBI, State Department, and the police. First hand accounts of the underground press (he co-founded the Washington Free Press) to Allende's Chile, from the man who was there.
