Summary
The essential moments of the Civil Rights Movement are set in historical context by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of the magisterial America in the King Years trilogy.
A masterpiece of storytelling on race and democracy, violence and nonviolence, The King Years delivers riveting tales of everyday heroes whose stories inspire us still. Here is the full sweep of an era that transformed America and continues to offer crucial lessons for today’s world told in “remarkable, meticulous detail” (The Wall Street Journal).
With this vital primer, Branch relates the dramatic story of how the Movement evolved from a bus strike to a political revolution, and brings this historic achievement to a wider audience, sufficiently fulfilling Branch’s dedication: “For students of freedom and teachers of history.”
