Description
Thomas E. Ricks offers a fresh perspective on America's greatest moral revolution, the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. Drawing on his deep knowledge of tactics and strategy, Ricks argues that the Movement's greatest victories were won not by idealism alone, but by attention to recruiting, training, discipline, and organization. This new take on the Civil Rights Movement reveals the unexpected use of military strategy and its lessons for nonviolent resistance around the world.
