Title: A welcome and fresh perspective on the Civil Rights Movement
Review: In reading other customer reviews, I detect a concerted effort to discredit Mr. Gaillard's book. That's unfortunate because, in my view, he brings a fresh, new perspective on the civil rights movement and the historic events comprising it. Unlike other works on the subject, Mr. Gaillard dares to examine the movement from the standpoint of the Southern policital establishment having the difficult, if not impossible, tasks of protecting the participants and, at the same time, enforce the law. By today's standards, the only fault I can find with the book is that it is not "politically correct," that is, it doesn't demonize all Southern politicians who had to confront and deal with the civil rights movement. To the dismay of his detractors, Mr. Gaillard finds that some of these individuals were real, flesh and blood human beings, and he gave credit where credit is due. I think he should be applauded for writing real history.
