Shortlisted for the National Book Award for Nonfiction (1996).

The Temple Bombing won the National Book Award. On October 12, 1958, the Reform Jewish synagogue in Atlanta exploded when 50 sticks of dynamite detonated--a key moment in Civil Rights history, as vivid and telling in its way as Rosa Park's refusal to change bus seats. Now, the National Book Award-winning author of Praying for Sheetrock looks back on this pivotal event, creating an extraordinary picture of a city, a region, and indeed a country on the cusp of monumental change.
