Speaking Out

the autobiography of Lester Garfield Maddox.

Plot

This is the story of one of the most controversial and phenomenal political figures of our time. A man who dropped out of high school to work--selling peanuts and chickens--Lester Garfield Maddox rose to the office of governor of Georgia by merely "defeating the Democrats and Republicans, the county courthouse, city halls, all the daily papers and TV and radio stations, the railroads, utilites, major banks and the industries. It wasn't an easy victory, and the failures as well as the successes are here. Lester Maddox sets the record straight in SPEAKING OUT.
