RADICAL HISTORY is a new series from Ocean Press seeking to restore the
memory of events, struggles and people erased from conventional (and
conservative) histories and media. These are small format, inexpensive
paperbacks designed to capture the imagination of those who not only believe
that another world is possible but who are also actively working toward
bringing that world into being. Just published are:
POLITICS ON TRIAL: Five Famous Trials of the 20th century.
Essays by renown William Kunstler on Sacco & Vanzetti, Rosenbergs,
Scottsboro boys, Scopes "Monkey Trial" etc
Introduced by Michael Ratner commenting on the current threats to political
rights and civil liberties in the US. Ratner is defending David Hicks, one
of the prisoners held at Guantanamo Base, Cuba.
