This linked-up anthology of New York Timesfootnote1 news reports and magazine articles was published in the United States in 1964. It has, of course, already ‘dated’; but while the present edition makes no effort to offset this, Anthony Lewis supplies a new foreword, the point of which seems to be that Britons should buy and read this book now that the discovery of race prejudice in Britain has made it timely. The introduction is also notable for the truly startling conclusion that the murders of Mrs Viola Liuzza and the Rev. James Reeb ‘inspired action against the ancient pattern of racial violence in the South’, viz. that ‘a Congressional committee investigated the Ku Klux Klan, exposing many of its violent activities’. Fine words for innocent Englishmen, unsullied by the information that the committee in question was the violently anti-libertarian, witch-hunting House Committee on unAmerican activities which has in the past done much in an effort to destroy civil rights activities, and whose investigation of the Klan may well form the alibi for further such attacks on integration movements. Injury to Klan members is likely to be small, since in any case most of them now find it more convenient to join other similar organizations.
