About This Item
New York:: Simon & Schuster,, (2020). Hardcover first edition -. Near fine in near fine dust jacket (a few corners dog-eared). First printing. An investigative reporter's account of his efforts to bring the Klansmen who were responsible for some of the most notorious murders of the civil rights movement to account. On June 21, 1964, more than twenty Klansmen murdered three civil rights workers - James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner. The killings, in what would become known as the Mississippi Burning case, were among the most brazen acts of violence during the civil rights movement. And even though the killers identities, including the sheriffs deputy, were an open secret, no one was charged with murder in the months and years that followed. 41 years later the mastermind was brought to trial and finally convicted. In addition, Mitchell worked on building up evidence in the assassination of Medgar Evers, the firebombing of Vernon Dahmer, and the 16th Street Church bombing in Birmingham. Notes, selected bibliography, index. 421 pp.
