Reviews

"I think there has been no more heroic episode in American law than the work of southern federal judges in ending racial discrimination in the South. Jack Bass has brought this recent history to life, telling us much that we had not known."--Anthony Lewis, New York Times

"Jack Bass has written an important book. . . . The best history of the civil rights movement I've read."--Joe Cumming Jr., The Atlanta Constitution
