There are plenty of interesting stories of historic trials in here, but it has too much of the sound of a hero telling his exploits. I think I would have enjoyed a third person telling of Dees’ life better, and been less distracted by the melodramatic cadence of the stories.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is a fantastic organization with a long history of committed work for civil rights and social justice. The book's overall writing was a bit lacking, but I appreciated reading Dees' story and learning more about the organization's founding.
