"You don't need a Weaterman to know which way the wind blows". Bob Dylan. In its first comprehensive history author Ron Jacobs chronicles the origins, development and ultimate demise of the 1960's radical organization Weatherman. Jacobs fuses the excitement of a thriller with an objective assessment of the radical climate in the U.S. during the 1960s. 50 photos.
