Description
Published in 1972, Guitar Army captures the raw voice of John Sinclair—poet, activist, and founding figure of the White Panther Party—writing from both the street and prison. Closely tied to the Detroit rock scene and the orbit of the MC5, Sinclair’s work sits at the intersection of music, politics, and radical counterculture. These writings document a moment when art, protest, and lifestyle were inseparable, and when figures like Sinclair were living the consequences of that fusion.
Today, Guitar Army stands as a key artifact of late-1960s and early-1970s underground culture. It appeals not only to literary collectors, but to those interested in the broader ecosystem of the era—MC5, the White Panther Party, and the wider radical movement that pushed against American norms. Copies in this condition are increasingly difficult to find, as many were read hard, carried, and lived with.
This copy is as good as it gets. I’d call it “as new”, but let’s play it safe with “fine”.
