Book by Olsen Jack
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Jack Olsen's Last Man Standing is the gripping story of Geronimo Pratt, war hero and community leader, who was framed by the FBI in one of the greatest travesties of justice in American history.
Geronimo Pratt did not commit the murder for which he served twenty-seven nightmarish years. As a UCLA student, though, he had led the Los Angeles Chapter of the Black Panther Party, and became a target of the FBI. Here is the spellbinding saga of Pratt, his heroic lawyers, Johnnie Cochran and Stuart Hanlon, and the Reverend James McCloskey, who overcame all the odds to bring the truth to light and free Geronimo.
"Much more than [a] compelling story of justice tragically perverted and eventually triumphant."
--The Denver Post
"[A] book that makes me grateful to its author, a lasting testimonial, and a document born of the same enduring passion that infuses all of Olsen's work."
--David Guterson
"[A] page turner, more engrossing than any courtroom thriller because it is true."
--The Oregonian

Hardcover / Hardback. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. First edition. Hardback. An unforgettable chronicle of the 27yr struggle to break a conspiratorial abuse of power and free one of America's most famous political prisoners. In 1968, 20yr old Elmer Gerard 'Geronimo' Pratt returned from Vietnam with a chest full of medals and a Purple Heart into the most heated racial climate in American history. Taking advantage of the G.I. Bill, Pratt enrolled at UCLA, where the Black Panther Party was busy recruiting. Propelled by a diverse group of African Americans, the Panther agenda was a volatile mix of black rage, black pride, altruism, idealism, and violence. Under the charismatic leadership of Eldridge Cleaver, Huey P. Newton, Bobby Seale, and Bunchy Carter, Pratt rose to the rank of Deputy Minister of Defence and became leader of the Los Angeles Chapter. The Panthers did not go unnoticed by J. Edgar Hoover. In the era of enemies' lists, his FBI drew up its own list of Panthers to be 'neutralised' and began a systematic counterintelligence programme to undermine black solidarity. Geronimo Pratt headed Hoover's list. When an FBI informer within the Panther party agreed to testify that Pratt murdered a young woman at a Santa Monica tennis court, his days as a free citizen came to an end. If not for the unlikely alliance of a brash African American defence attorney (Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr.) a radical Irish Jewish law student (Stuart Hanlon), a Protestant minister (Rev. James McCloskey), and the indefatigable Pratt - his spirit unbroken by 8yrs in solitary confinement - a horrifying miscarriage of justice would never have been rectified. A riveting biography and courtroom drama. With Epilogues and Index. 500pp. lge. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. in F. dw. A fairly heavy book which may require additional postage. N° de réf. du vendeur 17094
