from back cover: Martin Luther King has been hailed across the world as the Christian apostle of non-violence. Subtly however the validity of his witness in the modern world is being challenged by many influences. Must violence be accepted as the essential tool for revolutionary social changes? In this short but full study Kenneth Slack traces the life of the brilliant young student and pastor through its early years showing the influences and ideas which shaped him and led to his unplanned but inevitable entry into the civil rights struggle of which he soon found himself leader. As the movement grew so did King's devotion to it and his stature as a leader increased. He appears as a man of integrity & great moral courage and the author believes that although it led to his assassination the stand which he took remains permanently valid.
