"Ian Rankin once explained to an interviewer (the head of the Indian Communist Party!) that crime fiction is a way of talking about social inequality. Ron Jacobs applies that same maxim to the Sixties... in his wonderfully noir trilogy of those exhilarating and troubled times. And what Rankin does for Edinburgh, Jacobs amply illuminates for the Movement. Much much more than ripping yarns (though they are that too), from a master who's been there, done that, and lived to tell a tale or two."

New Collection titled Living the American Nightmare--New edition

Living the American Nightmare

The content is the same, but the book is set up more formally.

This is just a small collection of some of my essays and articles published on Counterpunch since January 2019. It is currently only available on Amazon, but should be available via other distributors in a week or so. Although you can find the pieces herein online, this is just in case you want to have a print or ebook version. Here's the First edition's back cover blurb "
The concept of an American Dream has been promoted like the latest Hollywood smash for decades. For too many residents of the United States, that dream has been more unattainable than true romance. In the twenty-first century, the American Dream is revealing itself to be a nightmare--something it's always been for many in the US and abroad. This collection of essays asks the question-is a nightmare still a dream? Is the American Dream a nightmare? "
