The author's unusual approach is a great success. Carson knows his subject. His method of allowing King to speak for himself avoids a major pitfall of biographies, where the author upstages the subject. Furthermore, letting king speak at the time of the events avoids the defensive recollections of many political memoirs. The Martin Luther King Jr. that emerges is an unusual blend of a man of thought, and a man of action. His thought is complex. His situation demands a lot of guesswork, and blind faith and visionary insight. He juggles a lot of plates in the air. He is a lot more interesting than many who find him useful allow.

Excellent. Format perfect. Everything you need to know about the mess of segregation that had been festering for 100 years. Everything you need to see that MLK was the man to overcome segregation and one of the finest men that ever lived. If he had not been slain we might not have the mess we have today. A tragedy.
