This Side of Glory by David Hilliard

This Side of Glory by David Hilliard

David Hilliard was the Chief of Staff of the Black Panther Party, and this is his compelling eyewitness account of America's first black armed revolutionary movement. Written with the participation of many other Party members, this book provides firsthand accounts of Huey Newton's infamous shootout with the police, the murder of Fred Hampton, how Panther money was raised and spent, the sexual mores of the Party, and how illegal activities erupted and were controlled. According to the FBI, the Panthers were "the greatest threat to the internal security of the country," and, in part due to government infiltrators and disinformation, the Party began to dissolve in the early seventies as police raids, gun battles, IRS investigations, trials, and prison terms decimated their ranks.

David Hilliard is associate professor at the School of International Studies at Flinders University. He is a world expert on Australian religious history of the Anglican church since 1945 and secularization of modern life. He is the associate editor of the Journal of Religious History, advisory editor of Anglican & Episcopal History, and a member of the international advisory board for the Journal of Ecclesiastical History.
