Jon Melrod’s newly-published memoir, Fighting Times, is more than just a remembrance. It details his time as a revolutionary helping to build the fighting people’s movements - from the student movement of the 1960s in SDS and being part of the Revolutionary Union, to the solidarity struggle with the Menominee Warrior Society occupation in 1975, to building a fighting UAW local at an American Motors plant in Kenosha, Wisconsin - and the lessons learned from each fight.

With 'A Threat of the First Magnitude', Leonard and Gallagher have done an important service in teaching us about who these people are and the methods the FBI used to infiltrate the Revolutionary Union - the largest Marxist-Leninist organization to emerge from the radical movements of the 1960s - as well as other revolutionary organizations of that period and the CPUSA before them.
