A classic in the black literary tradition, The Spook Who Sat by the
Door is both a comment on the civil rights problems in the United
States in the late 1960s and a serious attempt to focus on the
issue of black militancy. Dan Freeman, the ""spook who sat by the
door,"" is enlisted in the CIA's elitist espionage program. Upon
mastering agency tactics, however, he drops out to train young
Chicago blacks as ""Freedom Fighters"" in this explosive,
award-winning novel. As a story of one man's reaction to
ruling-class hypocrisy, the book is autobiographical and personal.
As a tale of a man's reaction to oppression, it is universal.
