“Drawing on interviews with those who knew King, previously unutilized material at Presidential libraries, and the holdings of the Martin Luther King Jr. Center in Atlanta, Mr. Oates has written the most comprehensive account of King’s life yet published. ... He displays a remarkable understanding of King’s individual role in the civil rights movement ... Oates’s biography helps us appreciate how sorely King is missed.” --Eric Foner, New York Times Book Review
