A riveting account of one of the most remarkable episodes in American history. In his critically acclaimed history Freedom Summer; award- winning author Bruce Watson presents powerful testimony about a crucial episode in the American civil rights movement. During the sweltering summer of 1964; more than seven hundred American college students descended upon segregated; reactionary Mississippi to register black voters and educate black children. On the night of their arrival; the worst fears of a race-torn nation were realized when three young men disappeared; thought to have been murdered by the Ku Klux Klan. Taking readers into the heart of these remarkable months; Freedom Summer shines new light on a critical moment of nascent change in America."Recreates the texture of that terrible yet rewarding summer with impressive verisimilitude." -Washington Post
