- Summary:
- Belva Davis covered many of the most explosive stories of the last half-century, including the Black Panthers, the Jonestown massacre, the Moscone/Milk murders, the onset of the AIDS epidemic, and Osama bin Laden's activities in Africa. Along the way, she encountered a cavalcade of cultural icons: Malcolm X, Frank Sinatra, James Brown, Nancy Reagan, Huey Newton, Muhammad Ali, Alex Haley, Fidel Castro, and others. Her absorbing memoir traces the trajectory of an extraordinary life in extraordinary times.
