The figure who embodied the militant and controversial spirit of the Black Panther Party more than anyone was Eldridge Cleaver. Charismatic, brilliant, and courageous, Cleaver built a base of power and influence that struck fear deep in the heart of White America. It was therefore shocking to many left-wing radicals when Cleaver turned his back on black revolution, the Nation of Islam, and communism in 1975. While Cleaver seemed sincerely disillusioned with radicalism, his erratic behavior over the next two decades revealed something that had been a latent part of his psyche all along - his narcissistic megalomania. His influence declined significantly through the 1980s until he found himself back on the streets committing petty crimes. By the time he died, in 1998, he was largely viewed as a turncoat who had betrayed the cause of black freedom. How can we make sense of Cleaver's precipitous decline from a position as one of Americas most vibrant Black writers and activists? Revolution or Death provides the first life story of one of the most notorious Black revolutionaries in history.

Gifford’s book is a detailed and incisive biography of Eldridge Cleaver. His research engages many of Cleaver’s most important contradictions and forces us to reconsider whatever boxes we would like to place him in. Gifford’s writing is especially poignant in the conclusion. It’s worth the read just for an ending which forces us all to look at ourselves just as critically. Well done!

Incredible story and beautiful writing

Holy smokes, this is an incredible book. I don’t endorse Eldridge cleaver as a human, he brutalized many women and murdered a man in cold blood. But, this is an amazing book filled with so much history through an incredible amount of research by the author. Best book I’ve read all year.

I always heard the name, and recognized it as a person of the black past who fought for black people, but I had no idea of the conflict between intellect and sociopath.

I had no idea
