George Wallace – An Enigma by Mary Palmer
Mary Palmer was given unlimited access to George Wallace and those surrounding him for many years before he died. Since his death, she had been unable to interest a publisher in the book, for reasons that are not difficult to understand. He was a divisive person, especially on race. What Mary discovered was the other sides of George Wallace. Her instincts and fairness as a newspaper reporter served her well in being able to create a balance of this enigmatic man. With pictures and stories never published before release, this promises to be a very popular book.
Release Date: April 2016
