The Assassination of Fred Hampton: How the FBI and the Chicago Police Murdered a Black Panther (Revised)

"[A] political cliff-hanger . . . an exposé [that] should be read in schools across the country." --Huffington Post

"Required political reading, especially for conservatives who are genuinely concerned about the damage secret government can do." --Chicago Daily Observer

"An extremely important book--and a tale well told--for America to read if it wants to become what it says it has always been--the land of the free and the home of the brave." --Ramsey Clark, former United States Attorney General

"A true crime story and legal thriller, this powerful account puts together all the pieces, step by step, giving us the anatomy of a despicable episode in recent American history. The writing is clear and straightforward; the overall impact devastating." --Phillip Lopate, author of Getting Personal

"At once journalist, lawyer and storyteller, Jeff Haas manages to sear into every page of this book a compassion seemingly forgotten, providing a riveting eyewitness account of the government assassination of Fred Hampton. This is mandatory reading for those who love and believe in freedom." --Elaine Brown, author and former chairman of the Black Panther Party

"Part history, part courtroom drama, part literary memoir, Haas evokes with chilling precision a bloody and desperate repressive state apparatus locked in conflict with its greatest fear, a charismatic young black man with revolution on his mind." --William Ayers, professor of education, University of Illinois at Chicago
