Examines the careers of three exceptional lawyers who championed civil liberties and fought for civil rights in the two decades after World War II. John Coe of Pensacola, Clifford Durr of Montgomery, and Benjamin Smith of New Orleans became southern dissenters, resisting the excessive zeal of the anti-Communist right and southern segregation laws.
