Makes Texas History Come Alive,
By
This review is from: Fighting Words: Independent Journalists in Texas (Hardcover)
McEnteer, a noted journalist himself, pulls no punches as he describes, details, and documents the exploits of five independent Texas journalists who swam upstream against often vicious tides of popular public opinion. With arresting prose and remarkable historical perspective, McEnteer delights the modern reader with mini-biographies of these maverick newsmen from mid-nineteenth century to the present day. Sprinkled throughout are pithy and incisive excerpts from his subjects which make each journalist come alive in the reader's mind. FIGHTING WORDS is one of those rare books that bridge the conventional gap between academic scholarship and popular history. This is a must-read for all aspiring journalists and Texans not afraid to learn the true history of their remarkable state. From Art Campbell, Professor of Law.
