From the Publisher

Juan Williams
"Thrilling. A civil rights hero's fiercely honest look at himself and the nation. Lewis never went for the easy answers, the cliches or with the in-crowd. Now he bares his struggles with evil, history and himself in one of the great memoirs of black movement history."
