Our deal of the week is A Boy From Georgia: Coming of Age in the Segregated South by Hamilton Jordan, a memoir by one of our great political strategists. This book chronicles Jordan’s childhood in Albany, Georgia, charting his moral and intellectual development as he gradually discovers the complicated legacies of racism, religious intolerance, and southern politics, and affords his readers an intimate view of the state’s wheelers and dealers. Jordan eventually went on to become a key aide to Jimmy Carter and was the architect of his stunning victory in the presidential campaign of 1976, and he served as Carter’s chief of staff in the White House.
