Politicians and racketeers...oops, I repeated myself

Date of Review:  Dec 13, 2002
The Bottom Line: A highly entertaining recounting of a serious story.
Review: Melissa Fay Greene, the author, used to work for a legal services agency in Georgia, where she met her husband. This same legal services agency plays a role in the story in this book. Greene lives in Atlanta.

The story, which is supposedly...

Thats the Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia

Date of Review:  Jan 22, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you like history, this is a winner.
Review: The country song by Reba Mcentire, "Thats the Night that the Lights Went Out in Georgia," sounds like this book. This book, is about the fight for civil rights in the McIntosh County/Darien area of Georgia. I have nothing against the South, as I...

Corruption and Racism by GA Sheriff

Date of Review:  Aug 12, 2001
The Bottom Line: A book about corruption and racism in deep south, including a Sheriff who thought he was king.
Review: This book starts off very interesting with a unique traffic accident in South Georgia. The book bogs down, ending with an awesome conclusion. The author compares and contrasts two men, the white racist sheriff and the black uneducated activist...

Paperback, Praying for Sheetrock: A Work of Nonfiction
In the 1970s, a corrupt old-time sheriff and his courthouse gang rules McIntosh County on the flowery coast of Georgia and preyed on the Yankee tourists passing through on their way to Florida. It appeared that the civil rights movement had entirely bypassed the county; the minority white citizenry held all political and economic power. Then the police shooting of an unarmed black man inspired Thurnell Alston, an unemployed father of four, to protest. "The man will stand up," his neighbors said of Alston. He quoted the U.S. Constitution, invited young, white legal-aid lawyers into the county, and forever changed his corner of the rural South...before tragedy in his private life swept him from the stage.
