"Buy this book and study it well. Eric Mann was my first teacher in the Black freedom movement. He is training a new generation of organizers and setting the pace for the Battle of New Orleans."

author, The Darker Nations: A Peoples History of the Third World
 
"Mann has a distinct talent for drawing political lessons from historical events. Every movement needs a map. Katrina's Legacy takes us to the ravaged Gulf Coast and helps us find a road towards a Third Reconstruction. America needs this movement and Eric helps us find our way."

editor, Black Agenda Report
 
"Eric Mann places the Gulf Catastrophe in the historical context of racist, capitalist rule in the US at a critical time when the cracks in the ruling class are visible for all to see. Mann provides political leadership, the outlines of a plan for action, and calls us to our battle stations."

coordinator,  Independent Political Politics Network
 
“Eric Mann has written an important and extremely timely book. Mann argues that the Left should go all out in the next two months to defeat George Bush through the mechanism of electing John Kerry. What is unique is Mann’s placement of that short-term tactic within a longer-range, revolutionary context, his spelling out of who the Left should be reaching out to, and his concrete ideas of how to do anti-Bush work at the grassroots.”

BeyondChron book review
 
"Eric Mann offers this election year's clearest analysis. Mann has the best assessment of the political forces at work and the best plan to impact the coming election."

author, Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination
 
"Eric Mann, a major voice on the Left, takes us on an international journey. He imagines a Left that can block U.S. intervention in the Third World and defend oppressed peoples in the ‘belly of the beast'."

“Eric Mann is one of this country’s finest thinkers and writers on the political Left. Dispatches changed my own depth of understanding and commitment to the notion that the fight against racism must be central to any movement.”

author, Dying to Live: A Story of US Immigration in an Age of Global Apartheid.

"What do we do about the United States?” This is the big question that animates Mann’s provocative, insightful, persuasive, and highly stimulating book. To challenge the United States’ institutionalized injustices requires an international movement that enjoys a far greater level of consciousness and organization than it now does, and Mann provides myriad tactical interventions aimed at progressing toward that larger strategic goal."

"LA's Lethal Air is a breath of fresh air. It translates cold environmental statistics into a story about people. The chapter on Class, Race, and Gender: The Unspoken Categories of Public Health is a major breakthrough in environmental analysis and generates exciting grassroots proposals for industrial and transportation policy." review in The Nation

"LA’s Lethal Air charts new ground in environmental politics. It targets corporate industrial policy, class relationships, and institutional racism as the primary causes of the ecological crisis."

Executive Director, California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee (CNA/NNOC)

LA's Lethal Air provides us with a winning blueprint to confront the corporate forces who are playing God with our lives--under the veil of some noxious management right. LA's Lethal Air offers a sense of strategy, activism, and hope to nurses, patients, and all of us who want to breathe freely.

"I have marched with the Van Nuys workers and seen Eric Mann's masterful organizing first hand. If you are a labor, civil rights, peace, or environmental organizer, college or high school teacher, I urge you to read Taking on General Motors carefully and apply its lessons to your own work."

professor, Columbia University
 
"Taking on General Motors is essential to anyone who cares about the union movement and its future. I know of no other narrative in the union or community organizing literature which analyses with considerable insight the political life of a union local. Leadership and organizing are as difficult to explain in print as playing the violin or choreographing a ballet. Eric Mann has brilliantly overcome the problem and given us a work of enduring value."

author, Occupied America: A History of Chicanos
 
"Taking On General Motors is the best work on the auto industry I have read to date. By telling the story of a predominantly Chicano UAW local, and the interaction of Chicano, Black, Asian, and white workers, Mann goes a long way to highlight the leadership of Mexican workers in the labor movement. It is crucial to get this book out to workers and scholars."

"The language is angry, but it subjects the official explanation of Jackson’s death to a meticulous examination. It connects Jackson's killing to the current upsurge of prison revolts."

"Comrade George is one of the most valuable and enlightening revolutionary manuals in our possession."

poet, author, Freeing the Dust
 
"For revolutionaries, Comrade George is a stimulating tool; for more temperate radicals it is a concise account of ideas, situations, and forces they are going to have to deal with in one way or another. It fills out George Jackson's Letters from Prison and exposes the brutality, injustice, and racism of our infamous prisons."
