Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Governors Among the Racists is a 50th anniversary retrospective on the 1970 Alabama Democratic gubernatorial primary, one of the most savage political contests in American history. At its center are two men who were once allies: George Wallace, the architect of modern racial demagoguery, and A…lbert Brewer, the accidental governor who dared to imagine an Alabama that could move forward. What began as a gentleman's agreement between political partners collapsed into a blood match that exposed, with brutal clarity, exactly how much hatred a democracy can weaponize when the right man is willing to pick it up and use it.Drawing on primary sources including a personal interview with Brewer himself, the book traces the full arc of the contest - from Brewer's quietly remarkable record of reform through Wallace's methodical decision to burn everything down rather than lose. Wallace's runoff campaign deployed fabricated advertisements, sexual slander against Brewer's family, manufactured racial terror, and coordinated fraud, all while publicly insisting he had never campaigned on a racist basis. Brewer had the better record, the broader coalition, and the early lead. He lost by 34,000 votes. The book does not treat that outcome as a tragedy of circumstance. It treats it as a verdict - on Alabama, on the uses of fear, and on what happens when a decent man underestimates the depth of the darkness he is standing in. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
