So I had best make one thing clear. I am going to recount events differently than you may remember them. I will reach into the stream of memory and pull out this or that pebble that has been cast there by my fate. The pebbles when cast may have had jagged edges, now worn away by the stream. So I tell it as memory permits, and maybe not entirely as it was. This could be called lying, but more charitably it is simply what life gives to each of us as our memories of events are shaped in ways that give us smiles and help us to go on. I do not have transcripts of all the cases in the book, so I recall them as well as I can.

Though the name stands for "Counterintelligence Program," the targets were not enemy spies. The FBI set out to eliminate "radical" political opposition inside the US. When traditional modes of repression (exposure, blatant harassment, and prosecution for political crimes) failed to counter the growing insurgency, and even helped to fuel it, the Bureau took the law into its own hands and secretly used fraud and force to sabotage constitutionally - protected political activity. Its methods ranged far beyond surveillance, and amounted to a domestic version of the covert action for which the CIA has become infamous throughout the world.

During that time I had made an entirely new life in Albu- Fquerque, New Mexico, as a teacher, father of two, inter- mittent husband, and perennial community activist. But in a short few months, two seemingly unrelated events came together to make me change my mind and begin speaking in public about my role in Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the Weather Underground—things that happened to me when I was a kid. First, in March 2003, the United States attacked Iraq, beginning a bloody, long, and futile war of conquest. What I saw, despite some significant differences, was Vietnam all over again.

  • Learning from Thucydides: an Ancient Historian Writes Contemporary History *
    Histos () – LEARNING FROM THUCYDIDES: AN ANCIENT HISTORIAN WRITES CONTEMPORARY HISTORY * Abstract : Ancient writers of history such as Thucydides and Polybius had to depend mostly on eye-witness testimony, collected in personal interviews. Thucydides was explicit about the problems inherent in this method: eyewitnesses were biased, unaware, forgetful. In –, I had a unique experience for a modern historian of antiquity: while writing a book about radical guerrillas of the late s and early s, I personally interviewed many actual participants in dramatic historical events. I found that Thucydides’ warnings about the pitfalls of the interview method were more than affirmed by my own direct experience. Keywords : Thucydides; Polybius; eyewitness testimony; Weatherman; Tom Hayden; ‘Days of Rage’ ll three of our greatest preserved Greek historians depended primarily on oral informants. Herodotus makes this clear right from the Aintroductory chapters of Book (..– ). 1 Polybius indicates that he chose the main period of his work—covering events from BC onwards— because this was the period when eyewitnesses were available (..). Polybius depended on written narratives, too—for instance, on Fabius Pictor and Philinus of Agrigentum for the First Punic War (.)—but was harshly critical of historians whose work depended solely on other written narratives (see Book , passim ). 2 As for Thucydides, in a famous passage (..–), he not only acknowledges his dependence on oral informants in constructing his narrative of the Peloponnesian War, but he also articulates the serious problems he encountered in depending mostly on eyewitnesses. In trying to construct an accurate account of events on the basis of oral testimony by informants, Thucydides says: … far from permitting myself to derive it from the first source that came to hand, I did not even trust my own impressions, but the narrative rests partly on what I saw myself, partly on what others saw for me, the accuracy of the report being always tried by the most severe and detailed tests possible.
