The edition includes forewords by former Chicago Seed editor Abe Peck, radical attorney William M.

Wachsberger notes that the underground press not only produce a few well-known papers but also was truly national and diverse in scope.

His goal is to capture the essence of "the countercultural community." A fundamental resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of a dramatic era in U.S. history.
