About this product

Product Information

As a young journalist in the South in the 1960s, Marshall Frady walked the hot sidewalks, sat in crowded churches and courtrooms, and interviewed prominent civil rights leaders. Now the critically acclaimed biographer joins the bestselling Penguin Livesseries to profile the man whose spiritual and political leadership has gained him an indelible place in twentieth-century history. In the masterly and riveting Martin Luther King, Jr., Frady draws on his twenty-five years of award-winning commentary on American race relations to give an inspiring portrait of this amazing leader and the turbulent era in which he lived. Martin Luther King, Jr., deftly interweaves the history of the civil rights movement with King's rise to fame and influence and includes fascinating insight into factions within the movement itself. Frady explores the complexities of King's relationship with the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, J. Edgar Hoover's relentless pursuit of King's demise, and King's own anticipation of his death. Above all, Frady's spellbinding voice brings to new life the ambitious, pious son of an Atlanta Baptist minister thrust onto a national platform of moral grandeur and shows, in vividly recalled scenes, recalling how both King and his country reacted to those cataclysmic years.

5 out of 5 stars
by Wc6x8UIrT5O@Del...Mar 04, 2010
I've been looking for this book
I remember the night Martin Luther King Jr died, April 4, 1968 and, as a fourteen year old, couldn't understand why anyone would want to do this to another human being. Martin wasn't out there for the Blacks, but instead was dealing in the world for the unity of everyone, even white with whites. I really wish I could have known what the world would have been like, should Martin have lived. I had the first book written after his death and was left with too many questions as to too many facts, but am now getting the answers.
