Here is the tumult and violence of the 60's-from the viewpoint of one of that decade's most notorious outlaws a viewpoint that will surprise some and outrage others. In Soul on Fire, Eldridge Cleaver tells of his childhood and young adulthood the years which shaped him into the man he was to become.
