"Do not forget that ‘skill and integrity' are the keys to success." This was the last piece of advice on a list Will Thurmond gave his son Strom in 1923. The younger Thurmond would keep the words in mind throughout his long and colorful career as one of the South's last race-baiting demagogues and as a national power broker who, along with Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan, was a major figure in modern conservative politics.But as the historian Joseph Crespino demonstrates in Strom Thurmond's America, the late South Carolina senator followed only part of his father's counsel. Political skill was the key to Thurmond's many successes; a consummate opportunist, he had less use for integrity. He was a thoroughgoing racist―he is best remembered today for his twenty-four-hour filibuster in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957―but he fathered an illegitimate black daughter whose existence he did not publicly acknowledge during his lifetime. A onetime Democrat and labor supporter, he switched parties in 1964 and helped to dismantle New Deal protections for working Americans.If Thurmond was a great hypocrite, though, he was also an innovator who saw the future of conservative politics before just about anyone else. As early as the 1950s, he began to forge alliances with Christian Right activists, and he eagerly took up the causes of big business, military spending, and anticommunism. Crespino's adroit, lucid portrait reveals that Thurmond was, in fact, both a segregationist and a Sunbelt conservative. The implications of this insight are vast. Thurmond was not a curiosity from a bygone era, but rather one of the first conservative Republicans we would recognize as such today. Strom Thurmond's America is about how he made his brand of politics central to American life.

In Strom, Jack Bass and Marilyn W. Thompson deliver a remarkable look at the life of a remarkable — and complicated — politician. First elected to public office in 1929, Strom Thurmond was a pivotal figure in the nation's politics for more than seven decades particularly when it came to issues of race: the Dixiecrat presidential candidate in 1948, originator of the 1956 "Southern Manifesto" against the Brown vs. Board of Education ruling, holder of the record for a Senate filibuster for his opposition to the 1957 Civil Rights Bill. Yet as a young man Thurmond had secretly fathered a daughter with the family's black maid, and quietly supported her through college and beyond. An intense public examination of Thurmond's legacy began when he left the Senate at age 100, continued when he passed away soon after and only grew when Essie Mae Washington-Williams announced in December 2003 that she was the senator's long-rumored black daughter. Bass and Thompson know Strom better than anyone. They both covered him for years and broke the big stories. In Strom, they tell us a great deal about power and politics in our nation and race's twisted roots in the 20th century South.

“Ms. Flowers spins a great tale of juicy Southern hospitality, bodacious family feuds, insidious betrayals, and gunslinging, vigilante justice that makes the OK Corral dust-up look like a Sunday afternoon picnic in the park.” — Carol Jose, co-author of Evil Web: A True Story of Cult Abuse and Courage In England’s Daily Telegraph obituary of Senator Strom Thurmond, 6/28/03, Mark Steyn writes: ”(Strom) was the only circuit court judge in South Carolina history to have had sex with a condemned murderess as she was being transferred from the women’s prison to death row. This was Sue Logue, the only woman in the state ever to be sent to the (electric) chair, but not before she'd been sent to the back seat of Judge Thurmond’s car for a lively final ride...Strom was said to have had a soft spot for Mrs. Logue, who he’d hired as a teacher back when he was a school superintendent. She didn’t meet the minimum qualifications for the post, but was said to have had unusual ‘vaginal muscular dexterity’.” “In Wanton Woman Anna Flowers is at the top of her game in the true crime genre. This case history of murder, which made headlines in the 1940s, has it all, human intrigue, wanton sex, and an ending that will hit the reader with the impact of a bullet. The attention to historical detail, coupled with the skill to tell a compelling, fast-paced story, make Flowers’ account of murder and mayhem read like a novel.” —Maynard Allington, author of critically acclaimed The Court of Blue Shadows

“Birdwatching with American Women is a gift to all enthusiastic amateurs in natural history. . . . [Strom’s] introductions match the quality of the best of the writing. . . . A delightful collection.” ―Erma J. Fisk, author of The Peacocks of Baboquivari American women have long been writing with wit and style about birds, but most of these writers (with exceptions such as Sarah Orne Jewett and Celia Thaxter) have been little known. Deborah Strom now offers a sampling of the fine birding literature produced by women from the late 1800s through World War II, introducing the writers “intriguingly, succinctly limning lives of often great fascination” (Booklist)

Here are the compelling stories of eleven "reverts", Catholics who fell away from the Church and eventually came back home. Some of the people are very well-known, like Fr. John Corapi, Rick Strom and Jesse Romero, and others are known only in their smaller circles. But each person's story of why he left the Catholic Church and why he returned is a unique and moving tale of God's mercy, love and grace.There is one common denominator, though, among the writers of Welcome Home! To parapharse Archbishop Fulton Sheen, few hate the Catholic Chruch for what she teaches, but millions hate it for what they think she teaches. The defining moment of illuminating grace almost always came when our storytellers began to examine Catholic teaching for themselves.
