Minor moisture staining inside top DJ edge, minor bleeding of board color onto DJ. Derived from a Kirkus Review: Vivid, balanced account of the political evolution of the legendary segregationist who retained his Senate seat for nearly four decades and become a distinguished Washington institution. Born in 1902, Thurmond grew up in a conservative, racially segregated social milieu and a solidly Democratic political culture. Cohodas presents Thurmond as a decent but conformist and ambitious product of this environment who, elected governor of South Carolina in 1946, took some progressive steps but fought attempts to change his state's ``custom and tradition'' of racial segregation. Thurmond opposed civil-rights so much that, in 1948, he led fellow ``Dixiecrats'' out of the Democratic Party to run a third-party campaign for President. In 1954, Thurmond began his long career as a senator from South Carolina, achieving an enduring reputation who once conducted a 24-hour filibuster against civil-rights legislation. Cohodas argues persuasively that Thurmond's principal political achievement has been to transform the ``solid South'' from a Democratic to a Republican stronghold. , Cohodas shows that his conservatism mellowed as American society changed. The author closes with the striking actions of Thurmond helping, as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Clarence Thomas onto the Supreme Court. More
