I think I have read all of what has been written in French or translated into that language, on one of the most influential men, and sometimes most controversial of the twentieth century: the pastor and doctor of theology, Martin Luther King, Jr . I myself, in self-publishing, wrote a biography of this extraordinary character. And yet, this version of Sylvie Laurent, Associate of history and a doctorate in American literature, is not useless, far from it. His research work on American sociology of the civil rights era, or the family environment of the young Michael King Jr., who later became the great Martin Luther King Jr, is very good. Work on the personality of the pastor and his choice of studies in theology (specifically his choice of a theological specialty), is also very impressive and rewarding for each player quest for knowledge in the sixties America and, above all, visionary ... who become disruptive thereafter. The epilogue after the (immediate) MLK Jr., assassinated April 4, 1968, and the overall condition of a people always in search of "his" Exodus is a great initiative. With the autobiography of Pastor King (texts collected by the great Clayborne Carson), undoubtedly one of the books about man's dream to have as a priority in its library.
