<b>For the first time in paperback, a powerful and raw glimpse behind the scenes of the Black Panther Party</b><BR><BR><i>Making Revolution</i> is Don Cox¿s revelatory, even incendiary account of his years in the Black Panther Party. He had participated in many peaceful Bay Area civil rights protests but hungered for more militant action. His book tells the story of his work as the party¿s field marshal in charge of gunrunning to planning armed attacks—tales which are told for the first time in this remarkable memoir—to his star turn raising money at the Manhattan home of Leonard Bernstein (for which he was famously mocked by Tom Wolfe in <i>Radical Chic and Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers</i>), to his subsequent flight to Algeria to join Eldridge Cleaver in exile, to his decision to leave the party following his disillusionment with Huey P. Newton¿s leadership. Cox would live out the rest of his life in France, where he wrote these unrepentant recollections in the early 1980s
