Description
In 1950, Florida's citrus groves were booming and the economy was flourishing—until four young men dared to envision a future for themselves beyond the citrus groves. Sheriff Willis V. McCall had an eye for justice—and an unquenchable thirst for bloodshed. With racial tensions at an all-time high, the lives of these four young men rested in one lawyer's hands—a young, determined lawyer by the name of Thurgood Marshall. Travelling through a time of warring ideologies and deadly violence, Devil in the Grove is the gripping story of how one man brought a divided nation to its knees, and created history along the way.
