 Taylor Branch’s Parting the Waters: America in the King Years, 1954-1963, offers a masterful account of the early Civil Rights Movement, focusing on the life and leadership of Martin Luther King Jr., from the Montgomery bus boycott to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Through this lens, Branch presents not only a biography of King but also a history of a movement that reshaped American democracy. His evocative prose and rigorous research capture the complexity, passion, and heartbreak of this transformative era.
