Extraordinary Historical Evidence

This work contains valuable historical records demonstrating the looking glass qualities of law and order in Alabama in the 1960s, where state and local law enforcement were on the side of lawlessness, criminalizing civil rights work while working to violate federal law. Every law school, college, and secondary school in America should have a copy of this book.
