Selma and the Liuzzo Murder Trials by James P Turner

In 1965 the drive for black voting rights in the south culminated in the epic Selma to Montgomery Freedom March. Within hours of the Marchs conclusion, klan terror struck, claiming the life of one of the marchers, Viola Liuzzo. Turner offers an insider's view of the three trials that took place over the following nine months - which finally resulted in the conviction of the killers.

James P. Turner served as Deputy Assistant Attorney General, the senior career lawyer in the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, for 25 years under seven consecutive Presidents of both parties.
