DESCRIPTION:Modern Times is thrilled to be hosting the book launch for David Gilbert's 
 new book, "Love and Struggle: My Life in SDS, the Weather Underground, and 
 Beyond" from PM Press. The launch will include readings from the book, Q&A, 
 and discussion with editor Terry Bisson and Diana Block, as well as a 
 message from David.\n\nLove and Struggle: My Life in SDS, the Weather 
 Underground, and Beyond\nForeword by Boots Riley\n\n. . And he was among 
 the last to emerge, in captivity, after the disaster of the 1981 Brinks 
 robbery, an attempted expropriation that resulted in four deaths and long 
 prison terms. In this extraordinary memoir, written from the 
 maximum-security prison where he has lived for almost thirty years, David 
 Gilbert tells the intensely personal story of his own Long March from 
 liberal to radical to revolutionary.\n\nToday a beloved and admired mentor 
 to a new generation of activists, he assesses with rare humor, with an 
 understanding stripped of illusions, and with uncommon candor the errors 
 and advances, terrors and triumphs of the Sixties and beyond. It’s a 
 battle that was far from won, but is still not lost: the struggle to build 
 a new world, and the love that drives that effort. A cautionary tale and a 
 how-to as well, Love and Struggle is a book as candid, as uncompromising, 
 and as humane as its author.\n\nPRAISE\n\n"Gilbert adds heart and bone to 
 the stuff of history."  —Mumia Abu Jamal\n\n"Required reading for anyone 
 interested in the history of radical movements in this country. An honest, 
 vivid portrait of a life spent passionately fighting for justice. In 
 telling his story, Gilbert also reveals the history of left struggles in 
 the 1960s and 70s, and imparts important lessons for today's activists."  
 —Jordan Flaherty, author of Floodlines: Community and Resistance from 
 Katrina to the Jena Six "\n\n"Gilbert tells his story with a hard-learned 
 humility. Occasionally interjecting his personal life—his loves and 
 failures, his relationship with his family—with his political journey, it 
 is the politics which are foremost in this memoir. A true revolutionary, 
 every other aspect of Gilbert’s life is subsumed to the 
 revolution."\n—Ron Jacobs, Counterpunch \n\n
