Great Book, about real people bad and good
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I wanted to read this because my 5th grade teacher was on the wrong path and died in a gunbattle while participating in an attempted bombing. What I got was a story about people's struggles to prevent wrongs and the risks that they took. Right away I wanted to call and thank the parents of a childhood jewish friend for their work. Fabulous!

I thought this book was amazing. It gives a whole new perspective to how the KKK affected the south.
Amazing History of Southern Jews

I read this book after learning of a friend of mine who grew up Jewish in Jackson Mississippi and went through everything Nelson talks about. The book was incredibly written and Nelson is a phenomonal Journalist. I highly recomend this book to anyone looking to learn more about American history or history of Jews in the South.
Good book

This is of particular interest to people living in Mississippi in the 1960's. I was a child during this time and knew the children of the players in the book. I never knew the terrible things they were going through. It gave me a deep appreciation of the people involved. It also made me think in ways that I had never really considered. For example, the fact that the Klan is a terrorist organization rather than a bunch of rednecks in sheets.
excellent

I had to read this for school. I thought it would be horribly boring, but it was excellent.
