Waging a Good War: A Military History of the Civil Rights Movement, 1954-1968 was really good. It looked at the history of the civil rights movement from the perspective of a military historian, analyzing each step as its own military campaign.

Before reading it I didn’t realize how much structure and organization went into the Civil Rights movement but the book goes over everything from the training of the “soldiers” in church basements, to the logistics of the ride shares that replaced the busses during the boycott.
