'Riveting as a thriller, this wise and searching memoir about a family, an era, and a movement tells a story about America weve never quite heard before... Its fearless, big-hearted, and profound. I simply couldnt put it down.' * Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild * 'Zayd Ayers Dohrns deeply moving Dangerous Dirty Violent & Young swept me away. A mix of memoir, history and journalism, its like nothing Ive ever read. Dohrn isnt afraid to wrestle with the moral ambiguities of the time and of those at the center of his life. Its an astonishing story written with such an open heart.' * Alex Kotlowitz, author of There Are No Children Here * Conjured into the present by a genuine literary master, recollecting what he saw as a sensitive child, the oft-told tale of the Weathermen catches fire here, illuminating a strangeness with which we all wrestle: the mysteries of family resentment and filial love. * Rick Perlstein, author of Nixonland * 'What a book! Exhilarating, maddening, contemplative, and mournful. The book arrives at a critical time ...Through deft and exquisite storytelling, Zayd Ayers Dohrn distills a history that shows...how each of us must grapple with the moral and human dimensions of our movements.' * Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, author of How We Get Free: Black Feminism and the Combahee River Collective * 'Zayd Dohrns journey into the past is a rare and profound gift one that breaks your heart even as it quietly fills it with hope. Each page is at once beautiful, painful, and powerful. It is everything we need right now: deeply moving and urgent.' * Heather Ann Thompson, author of Blood in the Water: the Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and its Legacy. *
