All God's Dangers won the National Book Award in 1975. "On a cold January morning in 1969, a young white graduate student from Massachusetts, stumbling along the dim trail of a long-defunct radical organization of the 1930s, the Alabama Sharecropper Union, heard that there was a survivor and went looking for him. In a rural settlement 20 miles or so from Tuskegee in east-central Alabama he found him-the man he calls Nate Shaw-a black man, 84 years old, in full possession of every moment of his life and every facet of its meaning. . . .

Jack Geiger, New York Times Book Review
