Ward Churchill is a longtime native rights activist, a leader of the Colorado chapter of the American Indian Movement, Coordinator of American Indian Studies for the University of Colorado/Boulder, and author of From a Native Son. Jim Vander Wall is an active supporter of indigenous people's sovereignty, and has written several articles on FBI counterintelligence operations. He is co-author with Ward Churchill of The COINTELPRO Papers: Documents from the FBI's Secret Wars Against Dissent in the United States and an editor of New Studies on the Left.
"This study gives a chilling account of the government attack against the American Indian Movement and the Black Panther Party, placed in the context of the traditional use of the FBI for domestic political repression. It is a powerful indictment, with far-reaching implications concerning the treatment of political activists, especially those that are black or native American, and the functioning of our political institutions generally.' Noam Chomsky
