Jezer surveys in detail the politics, philosophies, & struggles of the antiwar movement. "... Abbie, more than any other radical, showed potheads how to demonstrate and radicals how to dance." -- Chicago Tribune "... deeply sympathetic and scrupulously detached-a triumph of judicious empathy." -- MARTIN DUBERMAN, Distinguished Professor of History, Lehman/The Graduate School, C.U.N.Y.

Marty Jezer has captured him in all his complexity, dedication, humor, and heart." -- ANITA HOFFMAN
