Renegade for Peace and Justice

Hailed as an honest candid political memoir in a genre more often characterized by slick self-serving campaign biographies this book captures Barbara Lee's extraordinary life and political career from her early upbringing in El Paso Texas through her years in Oakland California with the Black Panther Party to her service in the U.S. Congress. In a new Afterword to the paper edition Lee pays tribute to the Congressional Black Caucus for which she serves as chair during the 111th Congress and reflects on the challenges that continue to face our nation at home and abroad.
