A heart wrenching account of Jeffrey Haas' and many others' quest for justice following the brutal murder of Fred Hampton, the precocious Black Panther leader. Reading this will rob you of any illusion that America's justice system is just, or that the police are meant to serve and protect all of us. On the other hand, the book shows that justice is not impossible, even if only partial justice can be achieved in our current political framework.
