" The Department of Justice is charged with meeting and resolving many of the crucial domestic problems of this country. It is also a barometer of the social and political directions in which we move. Mr. Harris turns to the Nixon administration's first year in office to show what the 'war on crime' and the 'Southern strategy' carried out by Attorney General Mitchell, meant to the people of this country. Mr. Harris reveals how President Nixon, faced with a choice between conflicting courses - one that would anger his supporters, but preserve the Union and one that would please his supporters but endanger the Union -chose the second. That choice, as demonstrated, amounted 'to a signal from the administration that it believed a nation of laws was no longer workable.' $9.00USD Click here to order or message the dealer
