He wrote the 1946 book, The Shore Dimly Seen (J. B. Lippincott & Co.), about politics and challenges of the South.
From inside jacket:
This book is at once the remarkable record of Governor Arnall's achievements and a wise and suggestive look at that dimly seen shore toward which the nation moves.
When Ellis Arnall became Governor of Georgia at the age of 35, the magnolia-scented traditions of that demagogue-ridden state went out the rear door of the capitol and a fresh political breeze swept through the corridors. The state's finances were overhauled and its debt was paid off for the first time in over a century. A new, streamlined, constitution was adopted, and the poll tax eliminated and the vote given to youth at the age of 18. The discredited state university system was restored to its former national standing and academic freedom was assured. Modernization changed the notorious Georgia penal system. Monopolies were attacked where it hurt them most. The Ku Klux Klan was vigorously assailed as it began to revive its activities. In short, a political cyclone hit Georgia, ripping out musty ways and institutions. Upon the old foundations a new concept of local government, by and for the people, has been built.
The story, so baldly condensed here, is told in fascinating detail by Governor Arnall, who draws from his own experiences many lessons which are of vital interest to every American citizen, wherever he lives.
The Shore Dimly Seen is not confined to events in Georgia. It ranges over the whole national scene, and is in effect the statement of a fighting liberal's faith and credo. Governor Arnall pulls no punches in giving his views on America's foreign policy, on labor and industrial relations, the control of monopolies and the basis for a sound balanced national economy in which the South and West would cease to be colonies for placid and profitable exploitations by the East.
