Recensioner i media

[Dean Dixon's] story is so interesting yet largely unknown that it makes for a fascinating read. . . .[Dixon's] life is an inspirational story of a man overcoming the linked adversities of poverty and racism to rise to heights in his profession that no black man before him had reached in the United States, and within that framework, Jones tells the story well, and certainly more thoroughly than anybody before him, which is why this book is both needed and recommended.
