 | Live from Death Row by Mumia Abu-Jamal
National Public Radio refuses to air him, his publisher has received threats, and patriotic citizens across the country have tried to ban him from the shelves. It's not hard to see why. In this brilliant collection of vignettes on life inside Pennsylvania's death row, Mumia Abu-Jamal attacks complacency like no other author has dared to for years. Sure to disturb even the most jaded reader, Jamal focuses on the well-guarded horrors perpetrated on our country's most defenseless men by their own government and exposes the lie of criminal justice in America with uncompromising honesty. In doing so, he forces us to ask ourselves hard questions most of us would rather avoid -- questions of race, economics, politics, and the very definition of our morality. AUTHOR: Mumia Abu-Jamal
