These concluding years of the freedom era show King at the height
of his powers even as his worldly prestige falls under withering
attack. We witness non-violent advances for democracy in the face
of growing factionalism and fear. We meet heroines and martyrs;
enter a world battered by private doubts, public dreams, contagious
inspiration, official harassment, and poisonous discord over the
Vietnam War. The narrative begins with violence before the pivotal
1965 Selma march for the right to vote, a dangerous time. From
landmark victory there, King's movement comes under threat from
competing forces. Branch chronicles dramatic campaigns in
Mississippi and Alabama, King's tormented alliance with Lyndon
Johnson, his painful break with Stokey Carmichael over black power,
and persecution by Hoover's FBI. Like PARTING THE WATERS and PILLAR
OF FIRE, AT CANAAN'S EDGE is a magnificent achievement that brings
the decades of the Civil Rights struggle alive and preserves the
integrity of those who marched and died.
