About
For this Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of Martin Luther King, Jr., David J. Garrow had unrestricted access to King's personal papers and thousands of pages of FBI documents relating to the most radical uprising of American history. Based on more than 700 interviews—with King's closest surviving associates and with the lawmen who worked against him—Bearing the Cross is a compelling and intimate narrative.

"Likely to remain for a long time the most informative life of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the most thorough study of the civil rights movement."
New York Times Review of Books
"Provocative…a complex and convincing portrait."
Time
"Absorbing reading. Garrow aimed simply to write the definitive chronicle of King's life during the period of his public eminence; and he has performed the task with skill and integrity. "
