John Hayman taught college, directed studies of information technology in African universities, and published six books and more than 60 articles. He was editor of Teaching and Learning with Computers and was a consulting editor for the Journal of Educational Research. Dr. Hayman lived in Birmingham, Alabama, with his wife, Clara Ruth; he died in 1999 shortly before the publication of his final book, A Judge in the Senate: Howell Heflin's Career of Politics and Principle.
Bitter Harvest: Richmond Flowers and the Civil Rights Revolution is not only the life story of Alabama Attorney General Richmond Flowers (1918-2007) but also a window into America's tumultuous civil rights era. Flowers's story is part of a wider tale of reactionary hatred and violence during the civil rights era, a time when much of Alabama's leadership utterly failed the state by tacitly encouraging lawlessness and brutality. Bitter Harvest is a welcome addition to public and college library biography shelves, highly recommended.-- "Midwest Book Review"
