While not a Marxist; Abraham Lincoln was willing to do whatever it took to consolidate his power; and the power of the federal government; even if it meant starting a war. This book addresses the question: "Why did Karl Marx and other socialists find 'Mr. Lincoln's War' worthy of their support?"

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Excellent; a 'must read'By Jonathon DonahueI took part in the Civil Rights movement; back then. This book is an excellent and accurate account of what happened in Anniston. I still remember vividly the segregated restaurants; bathrooms; even drinking faucets. Today; 50 years later; we are a changed country; and so much for the better. I can tell you that NOBODY back then could have even imagined that there would be a black President with Islamic first and middle names and a Kenyan last name; from Hawaii no less. What a great country we live in -- and I'm writing this with thanks and appreciation to the author of this book and his friends; for helping get us to where we are today.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A window into historyBy JS GrayIf you do not remember the civil rights movement years; read this account of a small slice of it in one southern town through the eyes of one Presbyterian minister. I am proud to know Dr. Noble.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A highly recommended microcosm of the civil rights eraBy Midwest Book ReviewBeyond The Burning Bus: The Civil Rights Revolution In A Southern Town by Presbyterian minister Phil Noble is the riveting story of Anniston; Alabama; a small industrial city; and how it was desegregated in the 1960s. Though there was violence and hatred opposing the end of the city's post-Civil War Jim Crow laws against the backdrop of one death; several cross burnings; as well as the publicized beatings of two black ministers; the social and political chaos was not as bad as it could have been because both black and white community leaders worked together through a biracial Human Relations Council to help their city get through difficult times. Researched meticulously and narrated from a personal point of view; Beyond The Burning Bus offers a unique; informative; and highly recommended microcosm of the civil rights era and the overall positive changes that took place within this typical and representative community in the American south.
