Trade Review
The book's principal contribution is its persuasive portrait of a thoroughly admirable and courageous journalist.... An important, well-researched, and well-written contribution. - Journal of American History ""Chambers was among only four of 53 southern journalists who consistently supported the 1954 Brown decision, [and] he received the Pulitzer Prize for his influential editorials - the Pilot was second in circulation among Virginia's newspapers - during Norfolk's school closings. Chambers represented, writes Leidholdt, the best of the South: genteel manners, courage, democratic beliefs, adherence to law, and rejection of intolerance."" - Journal of Southern History
