May 20, 1969: Four members of the revolutionary Black Panther Party trudge through woods along the edges of the Coginchaug River outside of New Haven, Connecticut. Gunshots shatter the silence. Three men emerge from the woods. Soon, two are in police custody. One flees across the country. Nine Panthers would be tried for crimes committed that night, including National Chairman Bobby Seale, extradited from California with the aide of Panther nemesis, California Governor Ronald Reagan. Activists of all denominations descended on the New England city—and the campus of Yale. The Nixon administration sent 4,000 National Guardsmen. U.S. military tanks lined the streets outside of New Haven. In this white-knuckle journey through a turbulent America, Doug Rae and Paul Bass let us eavesdrop on late-night meetings between Yale President, Kingman Brewster, and radical activists, including Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman, as they try to avert disaster. Meanwhile, most heartrending of all is the never-before-told story of Warren Kimbro—star community worker turned Panther assassin—who faces an uphill battle to turn his life around.

Murder in the Model City: The Black Panthers, Yale, and the Redemption of a Killer
Fascinating true story about the murder of a Black Panther associate who was thought to be a spy by his fellow Panthers and as a result was executed. It's both a tragedy, involving the fall of a once-promising local youth leader in the New Haven black community, and his subsequent redemption in prison and return to society. The book gives you a full flavor of the radical 60s, complete with characters like Abbie Hoffman and Bobby Seale (the latter who was put on trial for conspiracy to commit the murder and the former who led demonstrations against the trial). The book does a wonderful job of discussing the conflicts of the time, as well as pointing to the reasons that the radical student movement gradually crumbled into non-existence. It's a very accessible read.
