About this product

Product Information

Hailed as the most masterful story ever told of the American civil rights movement, Parting the Waters is destined to endure for generations. Moving from the fiery political baptism of Martin Luther King, Jr., to the corridors of Camelot where the Kennedy brothers weighed demands for justice against the deceptions of J. Edgar Hoover, here is a vivid tapestry of America, torn and finally transformed by a revolutionary struggle unequaled since the Civil War. Taylor 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. Epic in scope and impact, Branch's chronicle definitively captures one of the nation's most crucial passages.

    Manchester--A Master Story Teller of History

    Outstanding narrative history of the United States from Roosevelt's first inaugural to Nixon's second. Manchester is a master story teller and reading his works is like reading an outstandingly well written novel. I would highly recommend this book as well as his definitive Churchill biography, three volumes, or any of his lesser know works like "Goodbye Darkness" or "A World Lit only by Fire", the first a personal account of his experiences as a soldier in the Pacific Theater during WWII and the second, a history of the world at the time of Magellan.

    Parting the Waters

    Taylor Branch presents a well researched documentary of the early days of the civil rights movement. This work fills in many of the blanks in the personal development of Martin Luther King's contemporaries and predecessors in the continuing struggle to realize the promise of the Founders of the United States that "all men are created equal." Especially interesting was that "upward movement" of black American males was available mostly within the churches and religious organizations. Highly recommended reading for history buffs and those who just want to know the people and issues in more detail.

    An excellent literary portrait of MLK jr

    This is an excellent and thorough book about a great man (Martin Luther King, jr) and the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 60s by an award-winning author. Highly recommended!
