Tom Hayden discusses his new book Voices of the Chicago 8: A Generation on Trial (City Lights Publishers).

 

Of the original Chicago 8 defendants, Tom Hayden presents the dramatic and uncensored voices of Black Panther co-founder Bobby Seale, Yippie activists Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin, poet Allen Ginsberg, and many more.  After forty years of activism, politics and writing, Tom Hayden is still a leading voice for ending the war in Iraq, erasing sweatshops, saving the environment, and reforming politics through greater citizen participation.

 

Writings for A Democratic Society:  The Tom Hayden Reader (City Lights Publishers) will also be available.

Bill Press Discusses Trainwreck (John Wiley & Sons, Inc.)

Bill’s funniest and most astute book yet—Trainwreck reveals things Republicans hope you never find out.

 

Bill Press began his career as a political insider and media commentator on KABC-TV and KCOP-TV, both in Los Angeles.  The former co-host of MSNBC’s Buchanan and Press, CNN’s Crossfire, and The Spin Room, Press has built a national reputation on thought-provoking and humorous insights from the left side of the political aisle.
