Protest at Selma: Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Voting Rights Act of 1965
David J. Garrow
The work of David J. Garrow is more than a day-by-day account of how the historic Voting Rights Act of 1965 came into being. It is also a skillful analysis of the dynamics of protest activity and more particularly of the ways in which successful protesters deliberately use the mass media to influence uninvolved audiences. -American Historical Review
A valuable book, because it is a reminder of both the heroism and the brutality displayed in the great civil rights crusade. -David Herbert Donald, The New Republic
One of the most comprehensive studies yet of a single campaign within the civil-rights movement. -Pat Watters, New York Times Book Review
An excellent fusion of important theoretical constructs with careful and thoughtful empirical analysis. A desirable addition to most college libraries, useful for a variety of courses .Thoroughly documented. Recommended. -Choice
