Kirkus Starred Review A 50th-anniversary examination of the Mississippi murders of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner and their aftermath. An introduction describes the legally entrenched racism of Mississippi and the inception of the Freedom Summer campaign. Following this, Mitchell drops readers right in with the events that led up to the murder of the three young men, evoking the hostility and fear that covered Neshoba County like a blanket. He pulls back to sketch the victims' biographies in separate chapters, then takes readers through the investigation and the steps toward the 1967 trial that infamously failed to deliver justice. That account alone, illustrated with ample archival photographs and memorabilia, makes riveting reading. He clearly states the legal intricacies and thoroughly incorporates the players' own voices, with often breathtaking effect: "They killed one nigger, one Jew, and a white man. I gave them all what I thought they deserved," said the presiding judge later. Mitchell takes the story into the present day, describing how the families of the victims continue to fight for civil rights and how both locals and state officials kept the case alive, simultaneously working toward legal and emotional resolution. He leaves open the question whether now "the killing of a black mother's son is as important as the killing of a white mother's son"--but the country is getting closer to that goal.

Synopsis
A gripping true story of murder and the fight for civil rights and social justice in 1960s Mississppi.On June 21, 1964, three young men were killed by the Ku Klux Klan for trying to help black Americans vote as part of the 1964 Fredom Summer registration effort in Mississippi. The disappearance and brutal murders of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner caused a national uproar and was one of the most significant events of the civil rights movement. The Freedom Summer Murders tells the tragic story of these brave men, the crime that resulted in their untimely deaths, and the relentless forty-one-year pursuit of a conviction. It is the story of idealistic and courageous young people who wanted to change their county for the better. It is the story of black and white. And ultimately, it is the story of our nation's endless struggle to close the gap between what is and what should be., A gripping true story of murder and the fight for civil rights and social justice in 1960s Mississppi.

    The book was shipped without tracking - which was admittedly a bit stressful - but the communication with the seller was absolutely wonderful. They were understanding and gracious throughout. It took about six weeks for the book to arrive, but it was well packaged and in perfect condition. The appearance and quality of the book are pristine. You can absolutely order with con understand that the shipping may take a bit longer than what you may expect with a tracked shipment. Highly recommended.

The condition was excellent, with no marks or damage, and the quality of the text is outstanding for understanding IT risk management. Great value for the price, and the seller made the transaction smooth from start to finish. Highly recommended!
