A Reread: The Spook Who Sat by the Door

"The novel continues to be a very important work reflecting upon the harsh realities of African Americans living in the United States in the face of racism, violence and oppression. Greenlee's novel is, in a sense, a manual on how to be a successful revolutionary by beating the system at its own game. Greenlee demonstrates through his character Dan Freeman, how important cooperation is among oppressed peoples in the fight for equality and freedom." --Wikipedia
