Spies of Mississippi by Rick Bowers

From the Publisher: "The true story of the spy network that tried to destroy the Civil Rights Movement. Author Rick Bowers has combed through primary-source materials and interviewed surviving activists named in once-secret files, as well as the writings and oral histories of Mississippi civil rights leaders. Readers get first-hand accounts of how neighbors spied on neighbors, teachers spied on students, ministers spied on church-goers, and spies even spied on spies."
