Pick Nick is a fascinating and intimate political biography of the Congressman Nick Galifianakis who served in the 1960s by historian John Semonche; who is a neighbor of Nick's. It is a fascinating and intimate look at Galifianakis' political career in the context of a changing South. From his origins at his father's Durham; North Carolina restaurant through his stunning political successes to a final doomed battle for the Senate; Nick Galifianakis mastered the art of politics and showed what was possible - and what was not - in the American South in the 1960's and 1970's.

American imperfection documented with photography.By Stephen HashiokaExcellent collection of photographs depicting painful episode in American history. The 'Relocation' had a profound effect on my future.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A powerful read.By Gerald G. VathI bought this book because I read a review of it and felt it was a chapter in America's history I (a baby-boomer) was only vaguely familiar with. Very wrenching with beautiful; yet sometimes sad; photos. The parallel between what we did to Japanese-AMERICANS then is too frighteningly parallel to the attitude toward some American's today. (Enough editorializing.)1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Americans incarceratedBy JmoriVery well written with photos that I have not seen before. Thanks for a thoughtful chronical of an unjust period of US history. May we neverhave another.
