Richard Reddie has written the first book on King since Barack Obama became US president and considers whether Obama is the fulfilment of \"King's dream\". Reddie seamlessly melds King's religious, social, political and racial ideas in ways that are understandable, yet sophisticated; and captures his legacy and impact on both sides of the Atlantic. Reddie uses copious photographs throughout to chronicle the great man's life and times. As the first Black Brit to write a book on Martin Luther King, he brings a fresh new perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMartin Luther King was a giant in his generation - and continues to tower over American history. This new biography is a succinct and authoritative account of his life, revealing the multi-faceted and complex nature of this 'radical for Christ'. Offering shrewd and balanced judgements, Richard Reddie provides a fresh analysis of King's social, economic, racial and theological thinking. He assesses King's dream and whether it was realistic and, indeed, the degree to which, post the election of Barack Obama, it has begun to be realised. With a range of rarely-seen, intimate photos, this book is a compelling new portrait of a fascinating man. Richard Reddie is a writer, researcher and cultural commentator.
