Great Reference

Great reference book concerning George Wallace, so much so that it deserves 5 stars. I wouldn't pick it up and read it cover-to-cover on a whim, though.

Objectively written

This is one of the best books written about George Wallace, and by far, the most objective. While most writers tend to either praise or revile the former Alabama Governer, Mr. Lesher remains objective throughout the book. Not only does this book document Wallace's life and political career, it also details the impact that Wallace had on American Politics, an influence which is felt today. Overall, a superb read.

Good

It surprises me that this book is already out of print. I read every Wallace book I can find and this is the most complete I've seen.
