THE DEATH OF A CITY

by Lionel White ‧ RELEASE DATE: June 4, 1970

A brutal precis of the burn, baby, burning of a small Southern city which has had its head in the ground. Black children are killed in the explosion in a church and the fire fans out--into panic, riot, rape and major losses of life and property. Mr. White records it energetically enough but one wonders if he isn't more successful in making up his own stories rather than reworking fact into marginal fiction.
