I have to admit that I found the subject quite fascinating and the author's knowledge of it comprehensive. However, it was written in a very dry, academic style that I really struggled with. I did learn quite a bit from reading this book. The subject was sufficiently interesting that I finished the book, but it wasn't easy. If you love academic prose, have an interest in the civil rights issues and groups of the 1970s, especially in North Carolina, and if you have an affinity for lots of acronyms, then this is just the book for you!

Puts the Wilmington 10 fully in context. I wish there was a timeline and/or quick sketches of the involved people on top of the amazing chapters, it was a little hard to keep everything in my mind. But very informative and researched.
