From Library Journal
Edds has written an excellent account of the 1989 gubernatorial campaign in Virginia that produced the nation's first elected black governor, L. Douglas Wilder. The most valuable portions of the book are those in which Edds discusses how the candidates and their advisors handled television commercials and the explosive issues of abortion and race. Readers who wish to learn more about Wilder as a person may read Donald Baker's Wilder: Hold Fast to Dreams; A Biography of L. Douglas Wilder ( LJ 2/15/90); however, since that book concludes during the early stages of Wilder's campaign against Republican Marshall Coleman, Edds's work supplements it nicely. Recommended for public and university libraries.
