For over a quarter century, George C. Wallace dominated the political scene in Alabama, like no other politician in the state's history. On four separate occasions, he was elected Governor, and also orchestrated the election of his wife to the Governorship. As an ardent segregationist and advocate of States' Rights, Wallace exploited the fears of racists and secured his power base. Wallace also made forays onto the national political scene, running for President on four separate occasions. Running as the nominee of the American Independent Party in 1968, he won more popular and electoral votes than any third party presidential candidate in history. Wallace was gunned down by a would-be assassin at the height of his national popularity, in May of 1972. Paralyzed and wheelchair-bound, he suffered from unremitting pain for the remainder of his life. After his near death experience, Wallace made an astounding turn around on matters of race, and eventually became an ardent supporter of racial equality. "The Fighting Little Judge" is a concise biography of George C. Wallace; one of the the twentieth century's most colorful political icons. It chronicles his rise, fall, and redemption. Reading with the fast paced plot of a novel, the book is both educational and entertaining.
