Praise
“Recreates the texture of that terrible yet rewarding summer with impressive verisimilitude.”
–Washington Post
“Remarkable…a well-researched, vivid retelling of the 1964 civil rights crusade to put Mississippi’s 200,000 disenfranchised blacks on the voting rolls…[an] important book.”
–San Francisco Chronicle
“Elegantly written…A fascinating look at ordinary people at their best and worst…Riveting.”
–Richmond Times-Dispatch
“An amazing account of one pivotal summer in the history of civil rights…with a thriller’s pacing, the book forcefully describes the depravity and treachery behind the bombings, beatings and intimidation…and shows the physical and emotional costs of such a fight.”
–The Minneapolis Star-Tribune
“Engrossing”
–The Economist
