About this episode
In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on Comrade Z from Rookery Press to talk about a vital new book Collected Works of the Black Liberation Army. In this episode, we discuss the history, idology, tactics, and legacy of the BLA, and we truly feel this is an important episode. We highly encourage everyone to pick up the book, and also share the episode with others who would benefit from hearing about a militant and radical organization, based off of their own writings!   Comrade Z is a member of the Rookery Press. Rookery Press is a new publishing house dedicated to retrieving forgotten texts and theory lost to the Whirlwind. You can find their published works on their website, and you can also follow them on twitter @rookerypress   Help support the show by signing up to our patreon, where you also will get bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/guerrillahistory
