A first-hand, non-fiction account of the drastic change in the socio-political climate of one of the most influential, fastest-growing, yet historically overlooked cities in the U.S.: Atlanta, Georgia-during the Civil Rights Movement.Starting in the volatile 1960's and spanning four decades, Atlanta's epic is related from the perspective of one of the city's longest-serving police officers-a transplanted, opinionated, headstrong young man from New York City.From self-effacing, often intimate anecdotes, to gruesome descriptions of rape and homicide, to previously-unrevealed insights into the corruption of the city administration, the author explores and attempts to resolve the personal and professional conflicts created by the effects of the Civil Rights Movement and its step-child, Affirmative Action.About the Author: Born and raised in New York City, Harold B. Goldhagen dropped out of high school at sixteen to serve in the Merchant Marine and the U.S. Army. He joined the Atlanta Police Department in 1962 and retired as Captain thirty years later. He now works as a private investigator.
