Bill Ayers was born into privilege and is today a highly respected educator. In the late 1960s he was a young pacifist who helped to found one of the most radical political organizations in U.S. history, the Weather Underground. In a new era of antiwar activism and suppression of protest, his story, Fugitive Days, is more poignant and relevant than ever.

Ayers writes well, lyrically, passionately. --Andrea Behr, @lt;i@gt;San Francisco Chronicle@lt;/i@gt;@lt;br@gt;@lt;br@gt; A memoir that
