註釋This in-depth account of the rise
and decline of the Citizens' Councils of America details the organization's
role in the massive resistance to school desegregation in the South following
the 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education decision. Included are a new preface and
updated bibliography.
"A tour de force of research and
narration. . . in highly readable style. [McMillen] . . . seems to have read
everything the historical record has to offer on the subject and to have known
exactly what to make of it. . . Himself squarely on the side of the future,
he is sensitive to the anguish that prompted the hysteria of the misguided racist. . . .
By any test, a masterful study." -- Journal of Southern History
"Takes seriously the people who
made the movement, when ridicule and caricature would have been an easier analytical
technique. Solidly researched and well written. . . an intriguing story." --
Augustus M. Burns, Social Studies
