About This Audiobook
Unexampled Courage is a gripping narrative that delves into one of America's most harrowing civil rights stories. Author and former federal judge Richard Gergel takes listeners through the tale of Sergeant Isaac Woodard, whose brutal blinding by police in 1946 sparked national outrage and led to pivotal legal battles. With his son Tom Zingarelli narrating alongside him, this audiobook brings a fresh perspective to an often-overlooked chapter in American history. The dual narration adds depth, with Gergel's measured voice setting the historical context, and Zingarelli’s authoritative tone recounting Woodard’s story. This audio production is more than just a telling; it's a passionate defense of justice that will leave you both educated and emotionally invested.
