His political career demonstrates the ability of a demagogue and agitator to exploit racial fears to achieve political power. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis work traces the career of the man who symbolized Southern opposition to integration, but ironically ended up gaining overwhelming support from black voters in his final election campaign. He ultimately returned the favor by appointing a large number of blacks to state boards and commissions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lloyd Rohler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313311196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313311192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2005 pg. 1815","brand":"Lloyd Rohler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086478782719,"sku":"9780313311192","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ba6df20a-7b3a-47f1-9782-a4e7ac3357ca.jpg?v=1769094900","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/george-wallace-lloyd-rohler-9780313311192","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
