King: A Life

Jonathan Eig
921 King Eig


This is the first biography of civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. to include recently declassified FBI files. This revelatory new portrait of the preacher and activist  gives readers 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.
