Book Reviews of A Choice of Weapons
Book Review: can't put it down
Summary: 5 Stars
A choice of weapons chronicles the development of Gordon Parks' decision to use photography to battle poverty, prejudice, and ignorance. His autobiographical account of the many turning points in his life, the choices he made - both good and shameful, could easily be the life many others. Maybe not all grow up in the same circumstances, but certainly all are faced with decisions along the way which lay the foundation for the future. I recommend this book to anyone with an interest in history, the arts, music, photography, the civil rights movement, or psychology. Well worth the investment of your time.
