King: Pilgrimage to the Mountaintop First edition

In this fast-paced biography, Harvard Sitkoff presents a stunningly relevant and radical King. Honestly assessing his successes alongside his failures, King: Pilgrimage to the Mountaintop weaves together high and low points to capture King?s lifelong struggle, through disappointment and epiphany, with his own injunction: ?Let us be Christian in all our actions.? By telling King?s life as one on the verge of reaching its fulfillment, Sitkoff powerfully shows where King?s faith and activism were leading him?to a direct confrontation with a president over an immoral war and with an America blind to its complicity in economic injustice.
