Eldridge Cleaver, Black Panther Minister of Information and former candidate for the Presidency of the United States on the Peace and Freedom Party ticket, here writes about the forces that shaped his life and that are currently molding our national destiny. This book, written while the author was in California's Folsom State Prison, has the terrifying lucidity of a calm before the storm. 'Soul on Ice' will make you either cheer or wince, but it will compel your attention. (Back cover).
