George in the earliest pages of the book spread bare the soldier’s heart of Jonathan by the letters which he had written to his peer George as prison epistles, a true soliloquy of the Soledad Brothers and Sisters. He leaps to defend his kid brother Jonathan, an avowed communist revolutionary whose days were also cut short when a lad of merely 17 years. He had managed to smuggle out his manuscript only just a few days before his assassination in San Quentin jail on August 21, 1971. One cannot fail to notice the blood congealing, dripping not from one eye only -but both eyes, ears, hands, feet, brains and the heart. George Jackson, author of Blood In My Eye wrote with conviction of destiny, indeed imminent destruction. Transcribed & marked up by by Einde O’Callaghan for ETOL.
