Vividly written and exhaustively researched, Jonathan Eig’s King: A Life 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. The first full biography in decades, King mixes revelatory and exhaustive new research with brisk and accessible storytelling to forge the definitive life for our times. Named a most anticipated book of 2023 by The Washington Post, The Millions, and Literary Hub Here is the leader, the preacher, the orator, the husband, the father, the martyr, the human being-not with melodramatic halo in place, but in all his heroic, tragic Glory. Here is the King we know, think we know and ought to know. Joseph, author of The Sword and the Shield With eloquence, compassion, and grace, Jonathan Eig offers a stirringly contemporary and complex portrait of a fully human-and humane-King.
