Waging a Good War: A Conversation with Thomas Ricks – Full Member Version

There is very little scholarship on the Civil Rights Movement using a warfighting lens.  So Tom Ricks set about creating some.  In his new book, “Waging a Good War: A Military History of the Civil Rights Movement, 1954-1968” Tom talks about the strategy and tactics that the Civil Rights Movement used to defeat segregation.  How did members of the civil rights movement train?  How did they use nonviolence to take on the violence of Jim Crow? Why were meetings so important to the movement?  Find out the answer to these and other vital questions during this deep conversation.  Don’t miss it!
