Review
No other biographer has come as close as Marshall Frady has to correctly telling the story and understanding the mind of Jesse Jackson, arguably the most fascinating figure in contemporary American politics. Frady, who followed Jackson for years and had extensive access to him, rarely gets in the way when recounting Jackson's remarkable history from his humble background in Greenville, South Carolina, to his stirring campaign for the presidency. Frady also explains how Jackson can be viewed as both a political egomaniac and a great moral leader, a biographical synthesis that shows how deftly Frady has captured his subject.
