US government. The book was originally published by Beacon Press in 2001 and was republished by Penguin Group in 2003, featuring a new afterword by the author.[1]
Cathy Wilkerson called it "inaccurate" and "a cynical, superficial romp...making these struggles seem like a glorious carnival".[3] Jesse Lemisch's New Politics review describes it as "a dubious account, full of anachronisms, inaccuracies, unacknowledged borrowings from unnamed sources...It's also faux literary and soft core... littered with boasts of Ayers's sexual achievements, utterly untouched by feminism."[3]
In contrast, Studs Terkel called the book "a deeply moving elegy to all those young dreamers who tried to live decently in an indecent world".[4]
In October 2008 it was reported that John D. Hancock was attempting to make a movie based on the book.[5]
