Blue-turbaned Moroccan cavalry, under French officers, carried out what was perhaps the last great cavalry march of European warfare, advancing 57 miles in six days across craggy, wild Balkan mountains to seize the chief enemy bastion of Skoplje. In Paris, Winston Churchill later recalled, "it was recognized at once that the end had come."

"That is not its problem. The problem is the prevailing assumption that the Church should be a bastion between dangerous extremists--racists and impatient integrationists." What the Church needs, Pettigrew suggested, is direct social action. Interracial barriers can be broken down only if Negro families are invited into all-white parishes, he maintained.
