Reviews

Wolters's detailed, heavily documented study of the Reagan administration's civil rights goal to abandon racial integration policy and return to desegregation focuses on voting rights, affirmative action, and school desegregation... Highly recommended for public, college, university, and law libraries. --L. E. Noble Jr., Choice A wide ranging, solidly researched, and judiciously written account of one of the most politically controversial and ideologically divisive issues in recent American history. . . . Wolters provides a balanced and dispassionate account of modern civil rights policy that illuminates often bitterly contested issues. His distinctive contribution is to uncover a vast amount of factual information not previously known. --Herman Belz, University of Maryland This is the most complete exploration of the documentary history of the Reynolds' nomination hearings to date . . . . The volume is well organized and clearly written. --Joseph Steward, Jr., The Law and Poltiics Book Review Raymond Wolters tells [William Bradford Reynolds'] story persuasively and in meticulous and fascinating detail. --Forrest McDonald, National Review [Right Turn] is written from the perspective of Ronald Reagan's influential Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights William Bradford Reynolds, and is both a vindication of an administration that was showered with charges of racism, and a thorough groundng in some of the most important and controversial areas of American jurisprudence. --Thomas Jackson, American Renaissance
