(Ebook) The Secret Wars of Judi Bari: A Car Bomb, the Fight for the Redwoods, and the End of Earth First by Kate Coleman ISBN 9781893554740, 1893554740

A longtime resident of Berkeley, Coleman is a seasoned investigative reporter who has written about the Black Panther Party, the counterculture and California politics for a number of publications, including Newsweek, the Los Angeles Times, Salon, and Mother Jones. She turns her focus to Judi Bari (1949-1997), a 1960s Vietnam protester who went on to become an active militant feminist, environmentalist and leader of the radical eco-organization, Earth First! until her death in 1997 from cancer. Based on interviews with Bari's friends, comrades, and critics, Coleman traces Bari's evolution "from college activist to would-be Mother Jones of the Redwoods," providing an inside look at both Bari and the back-to-nature counterculture of Northern California.
