Book excerpt: This book realistically identifies specific core areas of racial strife and at the same time ties the real issues of race relations into the nature of government. It is different from many others that may be similar, in that there is no hidden agenda: everything is out in the open. In addition, the book has feeling, passion, humor, substance, and clarity. Not only that, it has a message that is sure to help many, many individuals, both American and others, gain greater insight into what it takes to gain and maintain "liberty and justice for all" our citizens.
