First sentence: FORTY-EIGHT HOURS before the United States invaded Iraq, I sat in a windowless classroom and listened intently as twenty-seven of my undergraduate students shared their views on the coming war.
Description: "This book contains essays from twelve leading Southern historians, activists, civil rights attorneys, law professors, and theologians. They discuss militarism, religion, the environment, voting rights, the Patriot Act, the economy, prisons and crime, and other subjects significant to the South and the Nation in the ongoing debate about the future of the United States. The writers come from, or have been active in the affairs of, each of the former Confederate states."--BOOK JACKET.
