Freedom Riders 1961 And the Struggle for Racial Justice

"[An] authoritative, compelling history of the tumultuous six months in which black and white volunteers descended on the South to challenge segregated travel....[Arsenault] skillfully puts into order a bewildering series of events, and leads the reader, painstakingly, through the political complexities of the time. Perhaps his greatest achievement is to show, through a wealth of detail, just how contested every inch of terrain was, and how uncertain the outcome, as the Freedom Riders pressed forward, hundreds of them filling Southern jails."Arsenault, Raymond is the author of 'Freedom Riders 1961 And the Struggle for Racial Justice', published 2006 under ISBN 9780195136746 and ISBN 0195136748.
