One of the best books I have ever read. Mills Lane, Jr. had a complicated relationship with his son, the author, and this book reveals the complexity in beautiful fashion.

Few people understood the relationship that existed between Atlanta’s economy and politics as well as Lane. As an influential member of the city’s tight-knit business community, Lane was a consummate insider, working behind the scenes to negotiate compromise and harmonize the city’s disparate voices during the civil rights movement .
