Reviews
"A sweeping, comprehensive look at a pivotal march in American history." -Vanessa Bush,Booklist "A short but dynamic account of the landmark 1963 protest march that ended with Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech." -Kirkus Reviews, starred review "This compelling history of the march on Washington is accessible to general readers, who will be moved at the emotional heights of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a dream" speech. Those who enjoy popular history will find much to like here, and students will appreciate the original research." -Library Journal "Charles Euchner has turned the March on Washington into a 'people's history.' Compelling and dramatic, this book is an important contribution." -Juan Williams, author ofEyes On The Prize: America's Civil Rights Years, 19541965and news analyst for NPR and FOX News "The March on Washington was a demand to make the Constitution of the United States work for black people-to cash the blank check, as Dr. King put it that day in the best speech of his life.NobodyTurn Me Around-Charles Euchner's superb book-brings it all back in vivid detail." -Roger Wilkins, author ofJefferson's Pillow: The Founding Fathers and the Dilemma of Black Patriotism "As was true of the historic March on Washington in 1963, so it is true of Charles Euchner's riveting new chronicle of the event: the massive human train of proud and determined Americans-ordinary, salt-of-the-earth citizens-is the heart and soul of this dramatic and inspiring story. Now, more than forty-five years later, those same people stride through Euchner's narrative as if it were a march in progress. The stars are here too, of course-Martin Luther King, Bayard Rustin, Roy Wilkins, John Lewis, and more-but the pages crackle and vibrate with the voices of unsung heroes who drove, flew, rode buses and trains, hitchhiked, even walked long distances to be there in the Great Emancipator's stone shadow as Dr. King spun out his immortal 'Dream.'" -John Egerton, author ofSpeak Now Against the Day: The Generation Before the Civil Rights Movement in the South "Nobody Turn Me Aroundbrings important new insight to the story of the 1963 March on Washington. We see the Harlem Unity Rally, Malcolm X's bitter answer to the historic events in D.C., the escalating violence in the South and the movement's expansion to northern cities, and the genius of Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin's organizing strategies. The book also settles the question of how Martin Luther King Jr. came to utter his iconic words about the dream-and shows how King used the speech to arouse his followers and neutralize the extremes of white racism and black separatism. Vivid storytelling at its best." -Alex Heard, author ofThe Eyes of Willie McGee: A Tragedy of Race, Sex, and Secrets in the Jim Crow South "Nearly fifty years after the March on Washington, Charles Euchner has brought that historic event back to life by presenting a panorama of vivid characters, torn by discord over tactics yet united in their determination to shame a timorous government into stamping out Jim Crow." -Curtis Wilkie, author ofDixie: A Personal Odyssey Through Events That Shaped the Modern South, "Euchner has turned the March on Washington into a 'people's history.' Compelling and dramatic, this book is an important contribution."--Juan Williams, author of Eyes On The Prize and news analyst for NPR and Fox News "A sharp, riveting depiction of what Martin Luther King called the greatest demonstration for freedom in the nation's history."-- Kirkus "The March on Washington was a demand to make the Constitution of the United States work for black people--to cash the blank check, as Dr. King put it that day ...Euchner's superb book brings it all back in vivid detail."--Roger Wilkins, author of Jefferson's Pillow "'We must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force,' said King near the end of the long, hot day. Euchner's dignified book reflects that kind of power."--James Sullivan, The Boston Globe "The pages crackle and vibrate with the voices of unsung heroes who drove, flew, rode buses and trains, hitchhiked, even walked long distances to be there in the Great Emancipator's stone shadow as Dr. King spun out his immortal 'Dream.'"--John Egerton, author of Speak Now Against the Day, "Euchner has turned the March on Washington into a 'people's history.'

Synopsis
A "Washington Post" Notable Book In March 1941, after a year of devastating U-boat attacks, the British War Cabinet turned to an intensely private, bohemian physicist named Patrick Blackett to turn the tide of the naval campaign. Though he is little remembered today, Blackett did as much as anyone to defeat Nazi Germany, by revolutionizing the Allied anti-submarine effort through the disciplined, systematic implementation of simple mathematics and probability theory. This is the story of how British and American civilian intellectuals helped change the nature of twentieth-century warfare, by convincing disbelieving military brass to trust the new field of operational research., On August 28, 1963, over a quarter-million people--two-thirds black and one-third white--held the greatest civil rights demonstration ever. In this major reinterpretation of the Great Day--the peak of the movement--Charles Euchner brings back the tension and promise of the march. Building on countless interviews, archives, FBI files, and private recordings, this hour-by-hour account offers intimate glimpses into the lives of those key players and ordinary people who converged on the National Mall to fight for civil rights in the March on Washington.
