Former Black Panther information minister Eldridge Cleaver
was a complex man who inspired profound adulation, love,
rage, and, among many, fear. Target Zero brings
Cleaver�s controversial story into focus through his own
words. This books charts Cleaver's life through
his writings: his quiet childhood, his youth spent in
prison, his startling emergence as a Black Panther leader
who became a "fugitive from justice" by the end of 1968, his
seven-year exile, and his religious and political
conversion following his return to the U.S. Target
Zero, which brings together previously unpublished
essays, short stories, letters, interviews, and poems, is
the most significant collection of Eldridge Cleaver�s
writing since his bestselling book Soul on Ice
(1968).
