Description from the Publisher
This book is both a satire of the civil rights problems in the United States in
the late 60s and a serious attempt to focuses on the issue of black militancy.
"The Spook Who Sat by the Door was originally brought into print by a small publisher, Richard Baron Press, and quickly became an underground favorite. Published in the near aftermath of the Black Power movement, The Spook fictionalized the urban- based war for liberation that never quite manifested." ~Sacred Fire
