I May Not Get There With You : The True Martin Luther King Jr

Rating:
Summary: be ready for analysis, not simply historical biography
Review: This book was not what I expected, but enjoyed regardless. I particularly liked his idea of banning the 'I Have a Dream' speech from public media. The stories about his philandering were a bit shocking to me, but I have never read any biography of King before, so I wasn't prepared. The ocassional tangents might irk some, but understand Dyson has to take some risks and expand on ideas to make the book worth his time. Realize the civil right movement is not over. Dialogue needs to continue in written forms such as this book to make progress.

Summary: Interesting, but not what I was looking for
Review: This is a very interesting book. But I don't think I was Dyson's target audience. I was mainly looking for a book that talked about Dr. King from a fresh perspective. While this book does that, it goes much more in-depth into other topics.
