McLucas (1945-2016), one of the New Haven 9, was convicted of conspiracy in the torture-murder of Alex Rackley, who at the time of his death in 1969, was suspected by several members of the Black Panther Party of being an FBI informant. The pamphlet supplies generous biographic details on McLucas, and sheds light on his treatment while imprisoned and awaiting trial.
