Kirkus Reviews calls Stan's book "A modern, inspiring companion to such works as Claude Browne's Manchild in the Promised Land and Eldridge Cleaver's Soul on Ice." Celeste Fremon, award-winning journalist specializing in gangs, criminal justice and education policy, reviewed Stan's book for the Los Angeles Times, and wrote, "There are already several South L.A. gangster memoirs on the shelves...but none provides the social/historical reach of Williams' Blue Rage, Black Redemption."

Blue Rage, Black Redemption includes a copy of the Tookie Protocol for Street Peace, a peacemaker tool that can help keep the peace in the streets of urban areas throughout the nation.
