Vividly written and exhaustively researched, Jonathan
Eig’s King is the first major biography in decades of the
civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. – and the first to
include recently declassified FBI files. Â In this revelatory
new portrait of the preacher and activist who shook the world, the
bestselling biographer gives us an intimate view of the courageous
and often emotionally troubled human being who demanded peaceful
protest for his movement but was rarely at peace with himself.
 He casts fresh light on the King family’s origins as well
as MLK’s complex relationships with his wife, father, and fellow
activists. King reveals a minister wrestling with his
own human frailties and dark moods, a citizen hunted by his own
government, and a man determined to fight for justice even if it
proved to be a fight to the death. Â As he follows MLK from
the classroom to the pulpit to the streets of Birmingham, Selma,
and Memphis, Eig dramatically re-creates the journey of a man who
recast American race relations and became its only modern-day
founding father – as well as the nation’s most mourned martyr.
In this landmark biography, Eig gives us an MLK for our times: a
deep thinker, a brilliant strategist, and a committed radical who
led one of history’s greatest movements, and whose demands for
racial and economic justice remain as urgent today as they were in
his lifetime. Â
