5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book!, December 16, 2001
By A Customer
THis book was my assignment for US History. At first, I thought it was going to be boring. But I just couldn't put it down after I started.After reading it , I had a better understanding to the difficulties of rebuilding the peaceful society between the blacks and white, especially under the presence if KKK.It is a truly touching and sad book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Freedom Road, March 11, 2001
I really enjoyed reading this book. I have found books about the Civil War. This is one of the few books I read that deal with its after-math. It gives a well written illustration of the Reconstruction. The reader becomes the free slave, carpetbagger, poor white and bankrupt plantation owner. As each character meets Gideon Jackson each person discovers their importance in the development of humanity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, October 15, 2000
By A Customer
I thought this was one of the best books I've ever read, right up there with To Kill A Mockingbird, Grapes of Wrath,and Black Boy. Howard Fast's writing style was a little different than what I am used to, but it is very effective. The story of Gideon Jackson is amazing and shows the power of education. I found that I became very passionate about this book. The way that Mr. Fast traces the rise of Gideon with the rise of the KKK is remarkable and the final chapters will leave you not wanting to put the book down. I highly recommend this book.
