Review title: A good I was there account
Product review: I didn't want the only review of this book to be the one above. You get the feeling that that reviewer would prefer that African Americans were still taught in tar paper shacks. Remember that segregationists didn't object to busing before '54 when it kept the races separate.The book provided an interesting perspective on the legal battles for civil rights and provided an especially vivid picture of Thurgood Marshall in his younger, heroic days and belied the man I remembered from news reports at the time of the Souter nomination as an old crank.I had two criticisms of the book. The book, like Marshall himself, overstated the legal battle for civil rights and downplayed the efforts of leaders like Martin Luther King. The crusade was fought outside the courts as well. Second, Greenberg provides too much detail on certain points. The book was at least 100 pages too long and sometimes too chronologically jumpy.
