Bøker av Ron Jacobs

Nowhere Land: Journeys Through a Broken Nation, chronicles Ron Jacobs' journeys from New England to Oregon, Texas to Minnesota and beyond, examining the US as it struggles to remember and redefine itself on its way toward an uncertain future.

Is a nightmare still a dream? If so, is this the American Dream? These essays written in the years 2018-2022 take a look at the nation the United States is today. Most of them first appeared in Counterpunch. From Iraq to Afghanistan, Washington to Kyiv; from Black Lives Matter to imperial war, Jacobs takes a hard look at the world we have created. It's not necessarily pretty and hope is not the lead descriptor.

This history of the Weatherman Underground covers the origins, development and ultimate demise of the organization. Drawing on an array of documents, interviews with participants, and a knowledge of the history of the New Left, Jacobs gives an objective assessment of US 1960s radicalism.
