Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Published to critical acclaim in 1959 and long out of print, Crusader Without Violence was the first biography of the dynamic leader who emerged from the 195556 Montgomery Bus Boycott as the spokesman of the twentieth-century American civil rights movement. NewSouth's 60th Anniversary Edition, with a new introduction containing new biographical details about its author, returns to general circulation a valuable, rare, and engaging account of Martin Luther King Jr. before he became an American phenomenon.The author, L. D. Reddick, had known the young King in Atlanta. They became reacquainted when Reddick moved to Montgomery in 1956, where King pastored the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church. Reddick became a congregant and King's friend and was active with him during the bus protest. He was thus able to report firsthand and at length on King within the setting of the young minister's early career and family life.Paradox and contrast marked King from the first. Born and schooled in a relatively comfortable segment of Atlanta's black community, he decided to take the part of the underdog. With a PhD from Boston University and a likely career in teaching or a northern ministry, he chose instead to return to a Southern community. Short, soft-spoken, and scholarly, he was thrown into a situation that required stature, tough-mindedness, and ability to move the masses.How he emerged into an unsought role of mentor, strategist, spokesman, and leader of a movement that took a major stride toward freedom is the story Reddick tells in Crusader Without Violence. The book peers intimately into the lives of African Americans in the South at that critical juncturea few years after the Brown decision but before the sit-ins, freedom rides, and voting rights demonstrations resulted in sweeping change in the 1960s.Reddick himself was noteworthy, a distinguished historian who would soon fall victim to Alabama's rigidly segregationist state government. Derryn Moten, the champion of this new edition, provides an introduction that puts Reddick's biography of King into context, updates Reddick's life after he was forced to leave his teaching position in Montgomery, and explains why Crusader Without Violencenotwithstanding the hundreds of books published on King's life since this oneremains a significant historical document. Published to critical acclaim in 1959 and long out of print, Crusader Without Violence was the first biography of the dynamic leader who emerged from the 1955-56 Montgomery Bus Boycott as the spokesman of the twentieth-century American civil rights movement.

First Edition. The first biography of Martin Luther King, Jr. written by King's friend and collaborator, the African American historian and professor Lawrence J. Reddick who helped King on his book Stride Toward Freedom (1958). In 1956, as a history professor at Alabama State College in Montgomery, Reddick became involved in documenting the Montgomery Bus Boycott and in that role began interviewing King in 1957 (although he and King already knew each other from Reddick's nine years in Atlanta). As he describes in the book's epilogue, King and his wife, Coretta, cooperated fully in the preparation of the book. 8vo. 3/4 maroon cloth over black cloth stamped in silver to spine, vii, 243 p., photographs, dust jacket. A near fine copy with some light wear to spine ends in a very good, unclipped dust jacket, which is rubbed and edge worn, with a 1" closed tear along the top edge of the front panel and a small chip to the crown. Uncommon in commerce.

First edition of one the earliest biographies of "the American Gandhi." Octavo, original half cloth, illustrated with black and white photographs. Boldly signed "Best Wishes Martin Luther King, Jr." on the front free endpaper. This book was signed at Coe College in October 1962, when King lectured there. From the library of a Civil Rights advocate, and professor at Drake University. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket photograph by Dan Weiner. An exceptional example, rare and desirable signed. In Crusader Without Violence: A Biography of Martin Luther King, Jr. (1959), L.D. Reddick offers one of the earliest comprehensive accounts of Dr. Kingās life and leadership during the formative years of the Civil Rights Movement. Reddick, a noted African American historian and archivist, provides a detailed narrative of Kingās rise to national prominence, particularly highlighting his role in the Montgomery Bus Boycott and his unwavering commitment to nonviolent resistance. The biography is both informative and reverent, emphasizing King's philosophical grounding in Gandhian principles and Christian ethics, while also situating his activism within the broader historical context of racial injustice in America. Reddickās work is significant not only for its biographical insight but also for its role in shaping the public perception of King as a moral leader and symbol of peaceful protest. Though limited by its publication date, which predates many of King's most pivotal actions, the book remains a valuable primary source for understanding early interpretations of Kingās influence and the ideological foundations of the Civil Rights Movement.
