“Andrew Maraniss’ father, David, once said, ‘History writes people out of the story. It’s our job to write them back in.’ In the case of Perry Wallace, Andrew has done that superbly. He writes with equal ability of race and class, talent and ambition and the possibilities and limits of each. I did not know Perry Wallace’s story. Andrew has brought it to us, and we should be happy he did.”
