Publisher's Summary

Bill Ayers was born into privilege and is today a highly respected educator and community activist. In the late 1960s he was a founder of the militant activist group the Weather Underground. Living on the run, stealing explosives, and hiding from the law, Ayers was involved in the defining moments of his generation: the Days of Rage, SDS, the Black Panthers - and the explosion that killed his beloved comrade, Diana Oughton.

Fugitive Days tells of these turbulent events, and of the tenacity with which Ayers slowly rebuilt his life after it all came apart. Ayers writes openly about his regrets and what he continues to believe was right. The result is a profoundly honest account of an incendiary chapter in our history.

good story, sexist author

Awesome listen if you are interested in that era of protest and resistance. Really exciting retelling of the Days of Rage protests, super interesting glimpse into life underground, and the feelings around revolutionary left movements of the late 60s early 70s.

BUT, hard to listen to in parts because Ayers' sexism is hard to ignore, especially in the first half of the book. He seems unable to mention women in the movement without going into tangents about how sexy they were and how much he wanted to sleep with them. big turnoff. There are other books about the Weather Underground that don't drip with sexism, maybe start with those (Outlaws In America is a great one)
