A Must Read,
This review is from: The Making of a Civil Rights Lawyer (Hardcover)
Meltsner's THE MAKING OF A CIVIL RIGHTS LAWYER is a powerful and timely book. It should be "required reading" for those of us who came of political age in the early sixties (that time of hope) and for all of us who now watch--helplessly and hoplessly--the corrupt, methodical erosion of those truths we hold to be self evident.

Portrait of An Age,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Making of a Civil Rights Lawyer (Hardcover)
This is a first-rate read. The book is a biography no so much of a "civil rights lawyer" as of a critical period in US history--the coming of age of the Civil Rights movement. With the inside stories Meltsner provides, we see the exacting day to day (and night) work of people struggling for the rights of all of us. The bad guys are even worse than we thought--the good guys, in government, not nearly as good as we thought.
This is more than a portrait of an age. It is an important book to read at this time, when the rights these men and women--not to mention the founding fathers--so clearly articulated and fought for are under siege. As a bonus, it is very well written! |
