Book Review: Sing A Battle Song
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has been an excellent primary resource for my thesis research. It saved me a lot of time and toil because it not only contains the WUO communiques but Prairie Fire, their political statement. The editors, who were all figureheads of the WUO did a fine job of giving the reader insight into the communiques by explaining different events, people, and language in the communiques so that anyone who wants to study them is not left wondering what and whom the writers are referring to. There are also several helpful timelines of WUO events and historic events that influenced and shaped their ideology. Being a poet, I also enjoyed the different poems that the members had written during their time underground. If you are an aspiring scholar who is interested in this organization this book will be great for you. I think that this book can also help people who have heard a lot about the organization but need a concrete resource to give them a better understanding of what they stood for. (Sometimes people get carried away with one aspect of an organization, such as government overthrow, and completely ignore the other aspects which are just as historically significant).
