My autobiography, SAYING NO TO POWER, (Creative Arts, Berkeley, 1999),
is styled for the general reader. However, if you teach in the social
sciences, consider it for course use. It was written as a social history
of the U.S. for the past three-quarters of a century through the eyes of
a participant observer in most progressive social movements (I'm 84),
and of the USSR from the standpoint of a Sovietologist (five earlier
books) knowing that country longer than any other in the profession.
Therefore it is also a history of the Cold War. Positive reviews in The
Black Scholar, American Studies in Scandinavia, San Francisco Chronicle,
forthcoming in Tikkun, etc. CHAPTERS MAY BE READ AT www.BillMandel.net
where you may also hear/see/read my defiant testimony before the House
Un-American Activities Committee and, earlier, Sen. Joe McCarthy.
