Summary of Charles Robert Jenkins & Jim Frederick's The Reluctant Communist

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 My father, who was a big man, worked at an ice plant. He was drafted into World War II but never served because the doctor from our town wrote the draft board to get him out of going because the town needed ice.

#2 My father, Clifton Rose Jenkins, was a racist. He had a drinking problem, and he liked his alcohol. He was also the owner of the ice plant where I worked.

#3 My father was a hard worker, but the ice business wound up killing him. My mother moved us all back to Rich Square, and she went to work as a nurse for a chiropractor in town. She would sit me in a chair and not let me move or speak until she said I could go.

#4 I was always very good at a lot of things that were not taught in school. I was also unusually strong and athletic for my size. I did not like school, and I was not good at it. I spent my time out of school working.
