""To Die Is Not Enough" focused on Don Anthony White, a mentally ill man on death row whose death sentence eventually was overturned. The case focused Wright's political energy, said son Thomas Adlai Wright (named for 1952 and 1956 Democratic presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson) , of Olympia. The Wrights grew so close to White that they would pile the kids in their station wagon and drive to Walla Walla to visit White at the penitentiary. "That was our family vacation, " son Thomas Wright said. "None of us thought that was weird. Other people went to Disneyland, and we went to Walla Walla.

Softcover / Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. First edition. Hardback. Featuring the story of Don Anthony White, a man convicted of the worst of murders, who shows that no man can be condemned as worthless. This powerful and moving story not only raises serious questions about US laws and penal institutions, but it also makes an eloquent statement about man's nature - in this case, a hardened criminal's capacity for hope and change. We witness Don White's hopeless, intolerable childhood, the seeds of apathy and the harvest of violence. We watch as he is shackled by a devastating past and see him repeatedly shattered by the outrages of 8yrs on Death Row. We meet the sometime healers, social workers, psychologists, and clergymen - and the enforcers, the jailers, prosecutors, and judges. In the beginning, they echo Don White's death wish. "Let's get it over with." At first White's court-apppointed attorneys fight for a principle. But, then, as the redemptive trail leads to the hangman, they fight to save the life of a friend. After years on Death Row, Don White told his lawyer, "If the families of Alice Jumper or Willie Dixson came here to break my neck, I wouldn't say a word - they have the right." But his death would not give the victims back their lives. Nothing could atone for that. Illus. 238pp. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate.
