I have been a fan of Stephen L. Carter’s suspense novels about black lawyers since The Emperor of Ocean Park, so when I read that he had written a book about his grandmother’s career as a lawyer fighting The Mob in the 1930’s my first reaction was “Here is a real-life story that could be as exciting as his fiction. “ The opening paragraph confirmed this feeling: “The raids were set for 9 P.M. So secret were the targets that the one hundred sixty New York City police officers involved were not allowed to see their orders until five minutes before the hour.†I was ready for the action!However, both the tone and the timeline were then reset, and the story of Eunice Carter’s investigation and prosecution of mobsters was put on hold until about a third of the way through the book.Instead, Carter takes us back to the Civil War and his family’s experiences of slavery and freedom and the roller coaster of success and discrimination ridden by what Carter termed Negro “sassiety†(and women of all ethnicities) up through the Depression Era. I found it very interesting, especially New York politics during the 1920s and 30s, but a reader who has been primed by the book jacket and the opening paragraph for reading about The Mafia could not be blamed for feeling a bit let down.Once it begins, though, the story of Eunice Carter’s role in bringing down mobsters like Lucky Luciano and Tammany Hall boss Jimmy Hines reads like a good legal thriller. It was not surprising that the recognition she achieved from those successes led to her becoming “one of the most prominent colored Republicans in the country†in the early years of WW II, and the political battles she witnessed and participated in were as interesting as the crime-fighting. She seems to have known every prominent Negro American of the day, from Richard Wright to Thurgood Marshall, and most of the white ones, perhaps most notably Thomas Dewey and Eleanor Roosevelt. Invisible is as much a history of Depression life, World War II, and the rise of and response to communism as it is biography. The Eunice Hunton Carter I met in Invisible was a remarkable and complex person who overcame tremendous obstacles and achieved great successes. I admired her tremendously, and I felt sorry for her, but I found it difficult to like her very much as a person. Carter repeatedly emphasized his family’s belief in the importance of stable families and the wife’s duty to set a good example, but Eunice’s own choices were often not ones that would exemplify traditional family mores, especially with respect to caring for her child. I saw a lot of commitment to causes in Eunice Carter; I did not see a lot of love.Carter set out to write a history and biography of his awe-inspiring grandmother, and it is natural that he would concentrate on his family, but he also raises some obvious questions in an inquisitive reader’s mind that he leaves unanswered. That was to me the most unsatisfactory aspect of the book. I learned for the first time courtesy of Carter that Lucky Luciano’s real name was Salvatore Lucania. He refers to him by that name through several chapters and then says, â€Now known at Salvatore Lucianoâ€. Why, Dr. Carter? Many immigrants had their names mangled by immigration officials when they arrived in this country, but it appears that Lucania stayed Lucania for some time after he arrived here. Inquiring minds want to know why he was renamed! Later, in describing the 20-person team of lawyers led by Dewey that broke up Lucky Luciano’s grip on mob activity, he says that the group included “a man who would later serve in the cabinets of two Presidents of the United States, one as attorney general and the other as secretary of stateâ€. Since I did not read an electronic copy of the book and cannot easily search, maybe I missed something, but again inquiring minds want to know who this was. At one point he refers to a Stephanie St. Clair, who claimed that “the gang war had cost her ‘a total of 820 days in jail and three-quarters of a million dollars’ â€. There was no explanation of who Stephanie St. Clair was and she is not exactly a household name, so I Googled her and learned she that that VERY rare entity, a Negro female mobster! Wow! About 60 pages later, Carter mentions St. Clair again and explains who she was, but he would have done well to satisfy the reader’s curiosity earlier. There were a number of other examples as well.Okay, he raised some questions he did not answer, but Carter also answered A NUMBER OF questions I did not know I had. Invisible is a fascinating story of a family of which Stephen L. Carter can be justifiably proud and a compelling picture of an important time in American history, interweaving issues of race, politics, and personal ambition. I am very glad to have been introduced to Eunice Carter, and if your expectations are set for the right story, I think you’ll be, too.
I hate to be the first to leave a slightly negative review but I couldn't finish this book. I wrongly assumed the book was about one woman taking down a powerful Mob boss. Instead, it is a biography about the author's grandmother that includes a few chapters about her work in bringing down Lucky Luciano. It was a difficult read for me because every other word was "negroe," and "dark nation." I should have known it was a book about race based on the title, but I never imagined it would be a total exercise in how many times an author can refer to someone's skin color and race in one book. I also found it sad that she shipped her young son out of the country for years to pursue her career. Maybe the book morphed into a masterpiece after page 200. I stopped reading at that point so take this review with a grain of salt.
This is a poorly written and documented book about Eunice Hunton Carter, which never saw an editor. But the great faults are the excessive surmise (she must have thought, probably, quite possibly) without support; treatment of great historical events (presidential elections, the conviction of Lucky Luciano, the birth of the UN, the communist witch hunts of the 1950s) as if they were bit players in Ms. Carter’s life; the unending sense of personal grievance, etc. she comes across as a disagreeable climber, a terrible mother, and faithless friend. And boring in her solipsism. There might be a good history buried somewhere herein, but it’s buried deep.
Stephen L. Carter, primarily a fiction writer, goes deep in his review of the life of his legally distinguished relative. Rather than produce a fawning biopic designed to canonize her, he goes to great pains to demonstrate that although the protégé of New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey was an African American female trailblazer in legal circles in 1930s New York City, she was also haunted by the specter of her Communist brother and the fact that she never achieved her goal of becoming a judge. Along the way, we are given access to close friends such as Harlem Renaissance notables Countee Cullen, Langston Hughes and the NAACP's Walter Washington. Although I would have liked more discussion of Eunice's inner passion, Stephen Carter appears to capture the highlights of her life and place these events in proper perspective. February 1, 2019.

Thank you Mr. Carter for enlightening us on another piece of African American history. It was truly remarkable to learn about the achievements and courage of both Addie and Eunice during the 20's,30's and 40's. I will highly recommend this book for others to read
This book is an account of the life of the author's grandmother who was a pioneering black attorney in the 1940s and 50s. The story is well told, extremely well documented, and provides an unusual view of life among upper class residents of Harlem and the United States from about 1900 - 1960. The political insights are amazing.
Although I am not a lawyer, this book inspired me to want to be the best that I can be, to dig deeply and fight against fear and the odds I might face in my work and life. It's a well-written story. It illustrates that no matter who you are, we can succeed through determination, skill, and, let's face it, help from others. I highly recommend the book to others who want to be inspired. I also recommend it to those who believe the lawyer jokes they hear. While there is some truth to many jokes, I'm certainly glad that there are lawyers in the world.
It is unfortunate that misogyny, sexism and racism hidden the greatness of so many individuals. This is a story of African American woman that rose to prominence in the early 1900s. Not only do you get a great history listen about American history and the influences that a number of Blacks had on that history, but you also get a real sense of what it means to be Invisible because of race and gender. This story is nicely told and you will not be bored with learning history that you were never taught.
