Ce livre a été publié pour la première fois en 1962. C’est l'histoire de la lutte d'une communauté noire du sud des États-Unis pour s'armer et pour se défendre, contre le Ku Klux Klan et d'autres groupes racistes. Indignée par la violence tolérée ou encouragée par les autorités locales contre les Noirs, la petite communauté de Monroe, en Caroline du Nord, a placé la question de la défense armée au premier plan du mouvement des droits civiques. Sous la direction de Robert F. Williams (1925-1996), la ville de Monroe est devenue le symbole pour les Noirs qui se battaient, et imposaient leur droit à la légitime défense, lorsque la loi et la justice étaient bafouées. Ce livre a eu une grande influence parmi les activistes noirs de la fin des années 1960, en particulier sur Huey P. Newton, une des fondateurs du Black Panther Party (les Panthères Noires).
