Reviews
""[A] highly listenable and informative work. Sadzin's smooth narration adds to the compelling nature of the text. Winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award."" -- ""AudioFile"" ""An exemplary life and an exemplary biography that will rekindle readers' commitment to racial justice."" -- ""Kirkus Reviews (starred review)"" ""Gives Lewis's post-civil rights career the attention it deserves--and shows how this mild-mannered seminarian submerged his pacifism enough to succeed in bare-knuckled politics."" -- ""New York Times Book Review"" ""Greenberg captures Lewis' life, achievements, and times with heartstopping precision...A passionately researched and defining portrait of an American hero."" -- ""Booklist (starred review)"" ""This is the defining story of a great American."" -- ""Barnes&Noble.com""
Author Information
David Greenberg is the author or editor of several books on American history and politics, including Nixon's Shadow: The History of an Image and Republic of Spin: An Inside History of the American Presidency. Formerly acting editor of the New Republic and then a columnist for Slate, he now writes regularly for Politico, Liberties, the New York Times, and the Washington Post. His work has also been featured in the New Yorker, The Atlantic, Foreign Affairs, Wall Street Journal, and numerous academic journals. In support of this book, he won awards from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Cullman Center of the New York Public Library, and the Leon Levy Center for Biography. He is a professor of history at Rutgers University and a frequent commentator on historical and political affairs. He holds a PhD in history from Columbia University and a BA degree from Yale. When he was seven, David Sadzin's first grade teacher gave him a paragraph to read out loud. She interrupted him halfway to proclaim him the ""Ringmaster"" in his class's musical extravaganza about the circus. He's been using his voice to get out of trouble ever since. After a few intense years on New York's stages, performing traditional and experimental theater, improv, and sketch comedy, he's now settled comfortably in front of the mic in his home studio in Brooklyn.
