Samenvatting
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER | A Washington Post and National Indie Bestseller
Supple, penetrating, heartstring-pulling and compulsively readable . . . Eigs book is worthy of its subject. Dwight Garner, The New York Times (Book Review Editors' Choice)
"[King is] infused with the narrative energy of a thriller . . . The most compelling account of Kings life in a generation. Mark Whitaker, The Washington Post
"No book could be more timely than Jonathan Eigs sweeping and majestic new King . . . Eig has created 2023's most vital tome." Will Bunch, The Philadelphia Inquirer
Hailed by the New York Times as "the new definitive biography," King mixes revelatory new research with accessible storytelling to offer an MLK for our times.
Vividly written and exhaustively researched, Jonathan Eigs King: A Life is the first major biography in decades of the civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.and the first to include recently declassified FBI files. In this revelatory new portrait of the preacher and activist who shook the world, the bestselling biographer gives us an intimate view of the courageous and often emotionally troubled human being who demanded peaceful protest for his movement but was rarely at peace with himself. He casts fresh light on the King familys origins as well as MLKs complex relationships with his wife, father, and fellow activists. King reveals a minister wrestling with his own human frailties and dark moods, a citizen hunted by his own government, and a man determined to fight for justice even if it proved to be a fight to the death. As he follows MLK from the classroom to the pulpit to the streets of Birmingham, Selma, and Memphis, Eig dramatically re-creates the journey of a man who recast American race relations and became our only modern-day founding fatheras well as the nations most mourned martyr.
In this landmark biography, Eig gives us an MLK for our times: a deep thinker, a brilliant strategist, and a committed radical who led one of historys greatest movements, and whose demands for racial and economic justice remain as urgent today as they were in his lifetime.
Includes 8 pages of black-and-white photographs
