Title: Horribly written. Writer is very knowledgeable but that seems to be part of his thesis statement---that he knows so much
Product review: I use this book as a NON-example for my students when learning about argument and not straying from one's argument when writing. At one point the author takes the time (strays from his argument) to reference other biographies from other historians----not to continue building his argument---but only to let us know how "unacademic" they are.This happens over and over, and it's really distracting from the monumental importance of the Emmit Till case. That's the shame of this book. Worth reading if you can get past the guy who wrote it.
