Now, thanks to his superb storytelling, some of the fog around this dark chapter has lifted.”—Ken Burns“[A] brilliant new book . . . ‘Redemption’ is accessible and important, and we cannot really understand race or political power in modern America without understanding what happened in the South a decade after Appomattox.”—Jon Meacham, Washington Monthly“Lemann . . . has told this sad, heartbreaking story with passion and authority. He does not tar all whites with the brush of racism or violence, and he does not excuse Reconstruction its excesses and mistakes.”— Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World“Lemann performs a sterling service in excavating these hidden ruins, and ‘Redemption’ is a superb, supple work of popular narrative history backed up by sound archival evidence.”—Alexander Rose, The New York Observer “Short and concise, Nicholas Lemann’s ‘Redemption’ is one of the very best accounts of Reconstruction I’ve ever read. Focusing on the Southern ‘Redeemers’s slaughter of innocent blacks as well as the hopes and trials of Adelbert Ames, the heroic Civil War general who became governor of Mississippi, Lemann succeeds in showing that the defeat of Reconstruction was in many ways ‘the last battle of the Civil War,’ a battle won of course by the South.”—David Brion Davis, Yale UniversityThe book is in fine, collectible condition, with no torn or bent pages, no scratches, stains or inscriptions, no remainder marks, no price-clipping, no bookplate, no ex-library, no book club edition, no flaws of any sort.
