Spanning some of the most tumultuous and storied decades of American history, this account of one man's political life touches on what it takes to lead a revolution and how such a leader is made. Bob Avakian, radical activist and communist leader, takes readers into his 1950s, middle-class past with tales of attending an integrated high school, an experience that profoundly altered his worldview. From there, he traces his path into the heady whirl of 1960s Berkeley, where he engaged with revolutionaries of all stripes. Revealing insights gained from politics, music, sports, study, and late-night bull-sessions, this dissection of the experiences that formed and informed Avakian looks back at a galvanizing history, and forward to a possible future of revolutionary change. His story offers a rare picture of what it is like to lead a revolutionary party in the most powerful country in the world.

From Ike to Mao and Beyond: My Journey from Mainstream America to Revolutionary Communist
This is, for the most part, an interesting account of an american revolutionary. there is too much on his youthful and lifelong love of basketball; the first quarter of the book could have been shorter. avakian's relations with the black panthers is very interesting.
a maoist, he is critical of tibet and the dalai lama. i disagree mostly with the maoist position on this issue.
he is willing to correct the part line at many points; most strikingly regarding gay rights. he also corrects the line taken at the time of the boston busing to integrate the public schools.
an enlightening account of revolution and the goal of world communism. i wish him luck.
