Edgar Hoover, here is a vivid tapestry of America, torn and finally transformed by a revolutionary struggle unequaled since the Civil War.\n\nTaylor Branch provides an unsurpassed portrait of King's rise to greatness and illuminates the stunning courage and private conflict, the deals, maneuvers, betrayals, and rivalries that determined history behind closed doors, at boycotts and sit-ins, on bloody freedom rides, and through siege and murder.\n\nEpic in scope and impact, Branch's chronicle definitively captures one of the nation's most crucial passages.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0671687425\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0671687425.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Branch, Taylor\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
