Books like A Lawyer's Journey: The Morris Dees Story

I had a lot of doubts about this going in, because a) I received it unsolicited from the Southern Poverty Law Center when I made a donation (it's about the founder), b) I hadn't heard of Morris Dees, and c) it's published by the American Bar Association (rather than a traditional publishing house). Looking at all of those together, my baseline thought was, "What kind of propaganda is this?"It turns out that it was both great to read and I was probably right. Dees, as the founder of the SPLC, has done some amazing work fighting hate groups through the justice system in this country, and the stories are hair raising and intense. But even the most brief of internet searches will tell you that he is often criticized for being too slick, too much of a marketing guy, and too focused on fundraising.I'm glad I read the book. Inspiring stories about how each one of us can take a stand for justice MATTER. The book gets 4 stars, because it's well written and moving. Just do your research and know the big picture, too.
