This edition updates Lewis's notable assessment of Martin Luther King, Jr., a book acclaimed by leading historians and critics when it appeared shortly after King's death. Published a decade after the civil rights activist's assassination, this edition includes new information and speculations on FBI harassment of King, the Senate findings on intelligence operations and law abuse, and the sinister implications of various conspiracy theories surrounding his tragic death. This biography skillfully wends through the corridors in which the "prince of peace" held court, posing the right questions and providing a keen measure of the man whose complex career and misunderstood mission continue to enthrall scholars and general readers.
First published 1970 under title: King : a critical biography.
Includes index.
Bibliography: p. 425-446.

Booklist Review
The University of Illinois Press is to be commended for maintaining the in-print status of this now-classic biography of Martin Luther King Jr., which was originally published in 1970 and written by the highly esteemed and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of a two-volume biography of W. E. B. DuBois (Biography of a Race, 1869-1919, 1994; The Fight for Equality and the American Century, 1919-1963, 2001). This edition contains a new preface, but what isn't new nor should it be is the at-once magisterial and intimate biographical account and assessment with which Lewis first graced the world. The book was widely applauded upon its publication and has enjoyed the sustained respect of historians and readers ever since. Public librarians need to face the fact that their shelves devoted to modern American history can't be considered complete without it. Purchase it and focus attention on it.--Hooper, Brad Copyright 2010 BooklistNotas de autor provistas por Syndetics
