Very narrative driven and easy to read, just like Assata. This book covers the lead up to the FBI and Chicago police murdering Fred Hampton and the trial that followed years later. Haas does a good job exposing the injustice that goes on in the United States and how the people in power (like Judge Perry, like the police, like the FBI ) always try to defend themselves and uphold the oppressive systems in place.

I liked that Haas acknowledged and was very critical of his role as a lawyer + his own dedication to social movements. Saying that, this book addresses more on the legal proceedings than the work the Black Panthers and Fred Hampton did, but does a good job covering the legal issues.
