520    In the early morning hours of December 8, 1969, three 
       hundred officers of the newly created elite paramilitary 
       tactical unit known as SWAT initiated a violent battle 
       with a handful of Los Angeles-based members of the Black 
       Panther Party for Self-Defense (BPP). Five hours and five 
       thousand rounds of ammunition later, three SWAT team 
       members and three Black Panthers lay wounded. From a 
       tactical standpoint, the Los Angeles Police Department 
       (LAPD) considered the encounter a disaster. For the 
       Panthers and the community that supported them, the 
       shootout symbolized a victory. A key contributor to that 
       victory was the nineteen-year-old rank-and-file member of 
       the BPP Wayne Pharr.            Nine Lives of a Black 
       Panther tells Wayne's riveting story of the Los Angeles 
       branch of the BPP and gives a blow-by-blow account of how 
       it prepared for and survived the massive military-style 
       attack. Because of his dedication to the black liberation 
       struggle, Wayne was hunted, beaten, and almost killed by 
       the LAPD in four separate events. Here he reveals how the 
       branch survived attacks such as these, and also why BPP 
       cofounder Huey P. Newton expelled the entire Southern 
       California chapter and deemed it "too dangerous to remain 
       a part of the national organization."             The Los 
       Angeles branch was the proving ground for some of the most
       beloved and colorful characters in Panther lore, including
       Bunchy Carter, Masai Hewitt, Geronimo "ji-Jaga" Pratt, and
       Elaine Brown. Nine Lives fills in a missing piece of Black
       Panther history, while making clear why black Los Angeles 
       was home to two of the most devastating riots in the 
       history of urban America. But it also eloquently relates 
       one man's triumph over police terror, internal warfare, 
       and personal demons. It will doubtless soon take its place
       among the classics of black militant literature.
