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." The first paperback edition brings to a new generation of readers Kennedy’s searing profile of Dixie before the civil rights movement.  “[This book represents] a tradition that links analysis to action, that tells the truth and makes clear the imperative for change. Stetson Kennedy is the right person to follow. He is a freedom fighter, patriot and rebel, investigator and truth-teller, a foot soldier and leader in the larger movement for a more human planet.” —Bob Hall, editor of Southern Exposure Magazine “A strong weapon against intolerance.”—Ellis Arnall, former governor of Georgia, in the New York Times “A filing case bursting with documented evidence against almost every phase of southern life.” — Chicago Sun Stetson Kennedy is an award-winning author and human rights activist.
