Why read it?
1 author picked Redemption as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

In Rosenbloom’s words: “This book is, most of all, a close-up view of King as he struggled against enormous odds to end poverty in America.” It’s a struggle that continues today.
From Patrick's list on America in 1968.
