No Struggle No Progress: Ruchell Magee Speaks: Ruchell Cinque Magee speaks : a critical interview on the Marin Court House shoot-out
The Marin County courthouse incident was an event which occurred on August 7, 1970, when 17-year-old Jonathan Jackson attempted to negotiate the freedom of the Soledad Brothers (which included his older brother George) by kidnapping Superior Court judge Harold Haley from the Marin County Civic Center in San Rafael, California. The resulting shootout left four men dead, including both Jackson and Judge Haley. Two others were wounded.
The event received intense media coverage, as did the subsequent manhunt and trial of Angela Davis, an ousted assistant professor from UCLA who was involved with George Jackson, Jonathan Jackson, and the Black Panthers. Davis owned the weapons used in the kidnapping and murder.

This is a brilliant book on the account of a one man standing left to give the factual information on "The Marin County courthouse incident which was an event which occurred on August 7, 1970, when 17-year-old Jonathan Jackson attempted to negotiate the freedom of the Soledad Brothers (which included his older brother George) by kidnapping Superior Court judge Harold Haley from the Marin County Civic Center in San Rafael, California.

I found this book to be very detailed and gave the realistic information on what happened that day, since Ruchell was the only one left to tell and from the pictures in the book on Amazon Kindle books. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QBBG47, you can will notice Ruchell was not the one holding a gun to the judges head. The book was released on spiral bound in 1995 and re-released with more pictures in film footage in November of 1994. I do recommend as a good read.
