This book is totally HOTT!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I rented the film about 20 years ago and found it to be simple but explosive, thought provoking, and very revolutionary.Then, I read the book and it was totally awesome. I don't usually read fiction, but once I started I could not put it down. The author, Sam Greenlee just had a knack for pulling the reader further into the story line and around each corner the excitement began again. The beginning gives no indication of what the ending has in store. Read it and have fun!!!
Wow!

This book was recommended to me years ago but I decided recently that I would read it. I was not disappointed. I won't give a long drawn out review but I will say, those that are interested in the well being and seeing 'black' people progress as a whole will not be disappointed. Just imagine if every 'black' person read this book and took it to heart?
Not all is as it seems to be or up against the wall!

I must have read this great book 35 years ago and it still pops up in my memory from time to time. A black man is hired to improve a white politician's image as an "equal opportunity employeer" and the new hire is assigned absolutely nothing to do but sit at his desk by the door and be nothing more than background color for the politician.Well, the book really takes off when the new hire turns out to have his own agenda going and it involves being a bit more than window dressing for "whitey"Perhaps we should send a copy of this book to Colin Powell for Christmas.
Streets are Watching! Read this Book!

If the new world order conspiracies make you think, then this book will inspire you and empower you. This book was written with integrity. I am not going to reveal the plot, but take a look at the characters, the National Guard, the FBI, the CIA, the Chicago Police Department, some inner-city rival gangs and one inconspicous brother with a plan and strategy. The Spook Who Sat Behind the Door is valid and very necessary reading. This easy straightforward reading yet powerful
