Jackson, George. Bantam Books, 1972. Softbound. Preface by Gregory Armstrong. Cover photos by Camilla Smith. The posthumously published book by the revolutionary autodidact, who reportedly stowed an Astra 9-mm pistol beneath his wig while serving time at San Quentin State Prison and then, referencing Ho Chi Minh, said 'Gentlemen, the dragon has come,' before killing five hostages and finally being shot in the back by a guard. 'No black person will ever believe that George Jackson died the way they tell us he did,' remarked James Baldwin in the aftermath.
