Civil Rights and Wrongs is a powerful and important reappraisal of the American racial dilemma by a uniquely qualified observer and sometime participant who viewed it from the eye of the political storm that it spawned. In this revised and expanded edition, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and editor Harry S. Ashmore assesses the ideological impasse that limited Bill Clinton's effort to reinstate activist government in Washington and offers a penetrating analysis of the 1996 election.
