"A riveting account of the assassination, the plot behind it, the attempted cover-up, the denouement, and the lessons that we should draw from this shocking tale of government iniquity." -- Noam Chomsky , author and political activist, "People should not forget that State's Attorney Hanrahan, the Chicago Police, and the FBI murdered my son. This book tells the story, not only of Fred's death, but also of his life. At twenty-one Fred was already a great leader. Who knows what he may have become, if they hadn't killed him?" -- Iberia Hampton , mother of Fred Hampton, "A true crime story and legal thriller, this powerful account puts together all the pieces, step by step, giving us the anatomy of a despicable episode in recent American history. The writing is clear and straightforward; the overall impact devastating." —Phillip Lopate, author , Getting Personal, "People should not forget that State's Attorney Hanrahan, the Chicago Police, and the FBI murdered my son.

Synopsis
It s around 7:00 A.M. on December 4, 1969, and attorney Jeff Haas is in a police lockup in Chicago, interviewing Fred Hampton s fiancee. She is describing how the police pulled her from the room as Fred lay unconscious on their bed. She heard one officer say, He s still alive. She then heard two shots. A second officer said, He s good and dead now. She looks at Jeff and asks, What can you do? The Assassination of Fred Hampton is Haas s personal account of how he and People s Law Office partner Flint Taylor pursued Hampton s assassins, ultimately prevailing over unlimited government resources and FBI conspiracy. Not only a story of justice delivered, the book puts Hampton in a new light as a dynamic community leader and an inspiration in the fight against injustice.", It's around 7:00 A.M. on December 4, 1969, and attorney Jeff Haas is in a police lockup in Chicago, interviewing Fred Hampton's fiance.

- s***h (412)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis vase is lovely. It was packaged very well. Shipping - it arrived two three days before the post office predicted. The case is as described, though I think prettier. It shines and sparkles in the light. Quite high value and worth every penny. Very good communication, I highly recommend the seller.Alvar Aalto Iittala Shallow Crystal Clear Green Savoy Glass Vase Candle Finland (#196661248372)
- g***_ (529)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe shipping time was excellent. My antique, bronze German shepherd bookends were packaged incredibly well, with tons of bubble wrap, packing peanuts and a sturdy box. The bookends were even better in person than described. I adore the detail and know that my German Shepherd loving boyfriend will be pleasantly surprised. The value was spot on, also. Thank you!
- .***r (3)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseShipping was alright, there was a 2 day delay but that doesn't matter! Packaging was excellent and was very good at keeping the item safe. Item came as described but i am questioning the possibility of this being vintage. Overall, great seller! would do business with them again, just be cautious around the vintage items because they might be re-prints.Oingo Boingo 1988 Boi-ngo Tour Re-pop T Shirt XLarge (#196759384097)
