Publisher's Note
Taylor Branch continues his definitive history epic began in "Parting the Waters". From the struggle through the first tumultuous year of Lyndon Johnson's presidency, which saw not only the passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 but also growing divisions within the Movement and the deepening shadow of America's involvement in the Vietnam War.

Industry Reviews
"A powerful, surprising argument, never explicitly stated but implicitly clear, holding that the rebellions against the established order--which took their form in the civil-rights movement, the youth movement, the early stirrings of the women's movement and the middle class's changing self-definition through the 1960s--were inextricably linked."
Wall Street Journal - David M. Shribman (01/16/1998)

"Branch spins an intricate, seamless web of politics and personalities, ambition and imagination, triumph and tragedy."
Washington Post Book World - Jeff Shesol (01/25/1998)

"...[A] monumental historical resource..."
