Synopsis
Fifty years after the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy, acclaimed journalist David Margolick reveals the untold story of the complex relationship between the two remarkable men.
With the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy, which took place only 62 days apart in 1968, the United States was changed forever.

Fifty years later, how far have we come? In this riveting narrative, journalist David Margolick examines the complex relationship between MLK and RFK and provides a living history of this turbulent time, documented with richly drawn interviews from the people who experienced it firsthand. Filled with untold stories from close intimates and revealing photos by the foremost photojournalists of the period, this book provides a compelling look at a tumultuous moment in our country's history, bringing the past vibrantly to life to shine a light on the unique cultural crossroads of the modern age.
