Sommario/riassunto |
|
Using thorough and stark statistics, Kennedy describes a South emerging from World War II, coming to grips with the racism and feudalism that had held it back for generations. He includes an all-out Who's Who, based on his own undercover investigations, of the ""hate-mongers, race-racketeers, and terrorists who swore that apartheid must go on forever.""
