The fourth novel from Pulitzer-winning journalist Leonard Pitts, Jr., The Last Thing You Surrender is a powerful exploration of war, race, and what it takes for a nation to move forward. Set against the backdrop of World War II, the novel follows three characters from the Jim Crow South as they navigate a deeply divided and rapidly-evolving America.
