A narrative chronicle of the last twelve months of Dr. King's life, from the Riverside Church anti-war speech to Memphis. Smiley portrays a leader under siege — attacked by the press, the President, and former allies — who grew more radical on poverty and militarism even as his health and spirits faltered.
