In 1942 Alice Allison Dunnigan, a sharecroppers daughter from Kentucky, made her way to the nations capital and a career in journalism that eventually led her to the White House. With Alone atop the Hill, Carol McCabe Booker has condensed Dunnigans 1974 self-published autobiography to appeal to a general audience and has added scholarly annotations that provide historical context. Dunnigans dynamic story reveals her importance to the fields of journalism, womens history, and the civil rights movement and creates a compelling portrait of a groundbreaking American.

Dunnigan recounts her formative years in rural Kentucky as she struggled for a living, telling bluntly and simply what life was like in a Border State in the first half of the twentieth century. Later she takes readers to Washington, D.C., where we see her rise from a typist during World War II to a reporter. Ultimately she would become the first black female reporter accredited to the White House  authorized to travel with a U.S. president  credentialed by the House and Senate Press Galleries  accredited to the Department of State and the Supreme Court  voted into the White House Newswomens Association and the Womens National Press Club  and recognized as a Washington sports reporter.

A contemporary of Helen Thomas and a forerunner of Ethel Payne, Dunnigan traveled with President Truman on his coast-to-coast, whistle-stop tour  was the first reporter to query President Eisenhower about civil rights  and provided front-page coverage for more than one hundred black newspapers of virtually every race issue before the Congress, the federal courts, and the presidential administration. Here she provides an uninhibited, unembellished, and unvarnished look at the terrain, the players, and the politics in a roughand- tumble national capital struggling to make its way through a nascent, postwar racial revolution.
