At 3:37 in the morning of Sunday; October 12; 1958; a bundle of dynamite blew out the side wall of the Temple; Atlanta's oldest and richest synagogue. The devastation to the building was vast-but even greater were the changes those 50 sticks of dynamite made to Atlanta; the South; and ultimately; all of the United States (Detroit Free Press). Finalist for the National Book Award; The Temple Bombing is the brilliant and moving examination of one town that came together in the face of hatred; a book that rescues a slice of the civil rights era whose lessons still resonate nearly fifty years after that fateful fall day.

She loved it and would continually make me stop what I was doing so she could tell me about something in the book. At some point; when time permits; I will read it as well.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Enjoyed this bookBy chattyEnjoyed this book; but toward the end it became a little repetitive. Good insight into the strength and character of Eleanor Roosevelt.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. I'm glad Eleanor had someone she could trust and talk toBy Ann MargaretI'm glad Eleanor had someone she could trust and talk to. I think Ms. Hickok didn't get the credit she deserved in history for helping Eleanor have a clear picture of what matters to American people. Especially at that time. So what if they were lovers. I can see where she would be quite lonely.
