Assata
In the early 70s, Black Panther freedom rider Assata Shakur chronicles her life from the moment where she is brutally beaten by police off the New Jersey turnpike. They suspected her and a few other activists of murdering a state trooper. The book opens with a gruesome, bloody, detailed account of the assault. Like many Black Panthers, she becomes a political prisoner and is subsequently tortured by police and corrections officers.
