The Birth of a Radical
This book traces the development of the author from early childhood through a long chain of experiences ranging from a semiâ€"handicapped child to a combat hero with triple bronze stars. It traces his, the author's, development from a hired sawmill hand to a functioning farming cooperative. The book follows the author from a disenfranchised war veteran to a viceâ€"chairman of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party.
