Henry T. Gallagher is a practicing attorney in Washington, D.C.
An army unit sent to quell a riot with all they need but a map to
find the place, so a rookie lieutenant kidnaps a Navy seaman to
guide them--it reads like fiction, but it's all true, and Henry
Gallagher tells it as only someone who was part of it could. A
well-researched and fascinating new take on one of the turning
points in the civil rights movement which makes for a very good
read.--Bob Schieffer "CBS News"
Henry Gallagher has given us a valuable new perspective on the 1962
Ole Miss crisis--an extraordinary tale of how men, unrelated to the
drama yet committed to duty, found their way to Oxford to help
break the siege at the Lyceum and to provide protection for the
school's first black student.--Curtis Wilkie, author of The Fall of
the House of Zeus
Henry Gallagher was one of the key players in an astonishing moment
in U.S. history. . . . In this electrifying narrative, he gives us
a vivid glimpse of the courage of a brother American soldier, the
remarkable crusader James Meredith.--William Doyle, author of An
American Insurrection
