Flying Close to the Sun: My Life and Times as a Weatherman

Flying Close to the Sun: My Life and Times as a Weatherman - Cathy Wilkerson I just started this memoir by a member of the Weather Underground. What's particularly inspiring about it, so far, is the measured way Wilkerson reflects on her past self, her coming-of-age as a politicized person, and her actions. This isn't some big expose of the radical movement but a critical look at what worked and what didn't from someone who still works for social justice.
