Martin Luther King, Jr.

A Life

He explores the complexities of King’s relationships with other civil rights leaders, the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, and the FBI’s J. Edgar Hoover, who conducted a relentless vendetta against him. The result is a biography that conveys not just the facts of King’s life but the power of his legacy.

Wallace

The Classic Portrait of Alabama Governor George Wallace

By: Marshall Frady

“A sensitive, informed and funny feat of high journalism that is a classic of the kind.”—The New York Times Book Review Wallace is a classic portrait of one of the century’s most fiery and controversial political figures. Initially conceived as a novel, Marshall Frady’s biography of George Wallace retains the narrative force and descriptive powers of fiction. Elizabeth Hardwick noted on Wallace’s first publication in 1968, “There is a palpable Faulknerian mood to the reporting,” and The New Republic observed, “Frady has established new standards in political biography.” This is a wonderfully crafted depiction of a seminal figure whose influence altered the course of national politics.

The Eleven Days of Christmas

America's Last Vietnam Battle

By: Marshall L. Michel (III)

In December 1972, with an increasingly dovish Congress preparing to cut off all funding for the war in Vietnam, President Richard Nixon ordered the bombing of Hanoi by the Strategic Air Command's "big stick," its fleet of B-52 bombers. Never before had a B-52 been lost in combat, but the North Vietnamese SAM missile crews knocked them out of the sky in the first days of the engagement. Despite the losses, the surviving bombers kept coming, inflicting huge losses on the North Vietnamese. For eleven days the momentum swung back and forth, moving from what appeared to be a certain U.S. triumph, to a possible North Vietnamese victory, to the ultimate ambiguous denouement in which both sides won and lost.

Project America

Memoirs of Faith and Hope to Win the Future

By: Marshall Elijah Hatch

PROJECT AMERICA: Memoirs of Faith and Hope to Win the Future, is one of the most impactful and relevant literary works of our time. The author, Dr. Marshall E. Hatch, sheds light on the timeless maxim that "each generation must chart its own course." In looking back to Dr. King's global vision, he conscientiously looks forward to summon the probing question "Where do we go from here?" Project America offers a nostalgic yet visionary memoir that weaves together scenes from the author's personal journey with historical analysis and commentaries to address contemporary public policy issues. In his expansive, thoughtful, and powerful treatise, Dr. Hatch presents us with the challenge to move forward, beyond the sins of America's shameful history of slavery to a "symphony" for winning the future. In this literary treasure-trove, Hatch's four symphonic movements unfold as the pathway to fulfilling the American promise, including a massive investment in education, adapting to the changing complexion of world power, embracing environmental stewardship, and renewing our faith to reengage the social covenant with the American people. Through Project America, we reflect upon Chicago's and the nation's past. While learning from Hatch's insights, we are encouraged to draw from the wellsprings of our faiths and to act purposefully together to achieve "a brand new world." Project America is truly within our grasp; therefore, let us heed Dr. Hatch's clarion call to make a brighter future start happening now.

Martin Luther King

Martin Luther King

By: Marshall Frady

Apôtre de la non-violence, champion de la lutte des Noirs contre la ségrégation, Martin Luther King est, avec Gandhi, une des figures marquantes du XXe siècle. Marshall Frady, qui, à titre de correspondant et reporter, a été un témoin privilégié des grandes manifestations qui marquèrent le mouvement en faveur des droits civiques, raconte de façon magistrale la vie de cet homme dont l'action pacifique, plus que toute autre, contribua à libérer le Sud des États-Unis, puis l'Amérique tout entière, d'un racisme profondément enraciné et d'une ségrégation institutionnalisée. Au-delà du parcours de King, de son enfance en Géorgie, de son ascension comme leader de toute une communauté, des affrontements sanglants opposant Noirs et Blancs, au-delà des luttes internes divisant ses propres alliés et de celles qu'il dut mener contre le gouvernement américain et le FBI, c'est toute l'Amérique des années 1960 qui revit ici, sous la plume alerte de Marshall Frady, une Amérique de haine et de violence, mais aussi de courage et de bonne volonté.
