Book Review: The Two-Edged Sword

November 29, 2010 | Author: | Posted in Book Reviews

The Civil Rights Movement is most remembered as a turbulent time for African-Americans and for women who were seeking equal treatment, and an end to discrimination. When revisiting the demonstrations commonly associated with the movement, it is easy to forget the minorities working for the Federal Government during the height of the Civil Rights Movement. In The Two-Edged Sword, Donald Tucker gives a full account of his life, the life of a Black man working for the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, Army, and Secret Service during a volatile time in the United States.
