Description

Jonathan Eig's King is a deeply researched and vividly written biography of Martin Luther King Jr. that sheds new light on the life of the civil rights icon. Eig's portrait of King reveals a complex and often emotionally troubled individual who struggled with his own human frailties and dark moods, even as he demanded peaceful protest for his movement. Through King, Eig dramatically re-creates the journey of a man who recast American race relations and became its only modern-day founding father. This landmark biography follows MLK from his early days as a minister to his rise as a leader in the civil rights movement, and offers a fresh perspective on his relationships with his family and fellow activists. Eig's exhaustive research includes recently declassified FBI files, providing a unique insight into King's life and legacy. A powerful and thought-provoking read, King is a biography that remains urgent and relevant today, offering a deep thinker, brilliant strategist, and committed radical for our times.
