Guns and Lynching

[Thomas Seay]

Wow.  The world is small. Kenneth Janken, who wrote
this book, was a friend and political colleague of
mine back in West Virginia in the old days.  He told
me about this book, last time we chatted a few months
ago.
If your interested in this subject, I could recommend
it without even having seen it.  He's good researcher
and one of those professors who definitely defies Lou
Proyect's tirades on the "Ivory tower professor"...He
worked in the coal mines once upon a time and was one
hell of an anti-capitalist fighter.
