- Summary
- "Sing a Battle Song offers insight into a critical moment in American history when outrage against the Vietnam War and racism at home led a group of radical students to "bring the war home" in a series of bombings that brought on one of the largest manhunts in FBI history. The minds and motivations, hopes and fears of the infamous Weathermen are documented here in their own uncensored words and communications. Introduced and annotated by Bernardine Dohrn, Bill Ayers, and Jeff Jones - three of the Weathermen's most influential organizers and national leaders of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) - Sing a Battle Song finds the intractable voices of the Weather Underground forever idealistic, inspired, and enraged, epitomizing the counterculture of the American 1960s and 1970s."--BOOK JACKET.
