“A chilling story that should be read by everyone interested in the role of the press in our society” – Don McKinney, former managing editor of McCall’s.

“I loved this book and couldn’t put it down. I read it as fast as I read “Into Thin Air,” in a few days not weeks. It is very well written and a scary portrait of the town where my dad and his three siblings grew up. It is very captivating and in the deep south, unfortunately not very surprising.” – Amazon reviewer.

“Engaging account of small-town newspapering.” – Tallahassee Democrat.

“. . . proof that remnants of the bigoted, narrow-minded, good ol’ boy South of legend still exist.” – Gannett News Service.

“A lively account that reads at times like ‘All the Kings’s Men.’ One has to admire his courage in pursuit of truth and justice in the face of adversity.” – Atlanta Constitution.

“Fortenberry’s account of his victories and eventual defeat as a crusading newspaper editor in South Carolina is powerful. His crusade succeeded in unseating two successive sheriffs, and the persecution worsened. When bombs were set off on his property, Fortenberry decided to sell the paper and leave town, concluding that his fight could not be won.’ – Publishers Weekly.

“If you are a fan of the Buford Pusser story as told in ‘Walking Tall,’ then you will thoroughly enjoy this book.” – Houston Home Journal.
