Easily, the worst book I ever read was Revolutionary Suicide by Huey P. Newton (1973).

Newton was the chairman of the grandiosely-named "Black Panther Party for Self Defense," commonly known simply as the "Black Panthers." The Panthers were an anti-White, anti-police, Marxist group that sprang up in the late 1960s and lasted for about a decade.

Newton was a light-skinned Negro with Jewish ancestry.

He spent most of his tenure as chairman of the Panthers in prison for killing a police officer who had stopped him for a traffic infraction.

He was touted by the radical left as a great intellectual. I was skeptical, but was still sufficiently interested to see what he had to say on Black revolution, etc. The book was published in an inexpensive paperback edition, and was available for sale everywhere. (Note to Generation Z: this was many years ago, before the Internet, when ordinary people read books for information and entertainment.)

I have read other books by Blacks over the years, but Revolutionary Suicide is in class by itself, as being utterly worthless, and devoid of even a single intelligent thought or insight. It is amazing that Newton's comrades (or handlers) allowed this book to go to press.

The authors are listed as "Huey P. Newton, with J. Herman Blake." Dr. Blake is a coal-black Negro. Presumably, he helped Newton with grammar and spelling etc. Given the appalling quality of the writing, I cannot imagine that he helped with anything else. He should have insisted that his name be left out.

I weep when I think about the trees the were cut down to make the paper for this book; they died a pointless death.

This book is still in print. If you get a chance to read it - don't.
