In Carolina Israelite: How Harry Golden Made Us Care about Jews, the South, and Civil Rights (The University of North Carolina Press, 2015), Kimberly Marlowe Hartnett, a writer and former journalist, introduces us to the larger-than-life personality Harry Golden.

Hartnett explores the ways Golden utilized his talents (he was, at his core, a salesman) to make America more equal and free.
