"2nd book in 3 book series, not quite as good as 1st book but great nonetheless. First sections though kind of annoyed me, because he went back over some events from the first book so hard to keep the timeline down at first, but as it progressed it got clearer."
"Probably the best history of post War War II America I've read. Very thorough review of the various civil rights groups in the mid 60s. A must read for anyone interested in the roots of the modern Republican party. Also makes you realize that domestic surveliance is nothing new."
"This continues the colorful history mainly of the civil rights movement but also encompassing America's gradual involvement in Vietnam. An amazing insight into an array of characters is presented."
"Leaders inspire, while it takes a village to become a movement. Awesome to consider how many people, each with their own unique story, were creating the "Civil Rights Movement". This book works to capture a broader scope of this time period, including the Bob Moses, Ralph Abernathy's, Fannie Lou Hamer's, etc, impelling me to better appreciate the power of a group of dedicated, centered people working together."
