The underground press of the 1960s is widely considered by participants to be one of the most influential factors in the radical social movements of the time and a lasting influence on American culture. This book offers a window into the ferment of the underground press through a combination of short interview excerpts in which prominent figures of the underground press reflect on their experiences in producing their work together with photo-reproductions of text and images from such publications as The Black Panther, East Village  Other, Helix, Los Angeles Free Press, The Realist, and more.
