The Spies of Mississippi is a compelling story of how state spies tried to block voting rights for African Americans during the Civil Rights era.

Readers get first-hand accounts of how neighbors spied on neighbors, teachers spied on students, ministers spied on church-goers, and spies even spied on spies.
