“A landmark biography … Monumental.”

New York Times

“Supple, penetrating, heartstring-pulling and compulsively readable... The first comprehensive biography of King in three decades...and it supplants David J. Garrow’s 1986 biography Bearing the Cross as the definitive life of King... [Eig’s is] a clean, clear, journalistic voice, one that employs facts the way Saul Bellow said they should be employed, each a wire that sends a current...Eig’s book is worthy of its subject.”

―Dwight Garner, The New York Times

Based on New FBI Files

The first King biography written with access to thousands of recently released pages of FBI files as well as thousands of personal papers from King's associates and friends.
