A pulse pounding historical thriller that will leave you speechless.
In a nation on the brink of a second civil war, two icons-Bobby Kennedy, the greatest and most unexpected white civil rights icon of all time, and Martin Luther King Jr., the most magnificent and game-changing black one-stand on opposite sides of a bitter ideological feud. Their battle of wills over the future of race relations in America is as inevitable as it is dangerous. But when the FBI, the KKK, and the Black Panthers begin to manipulate events behind the scenes to thwart progress, their personal struggles for justice quickly become a terrifying fight for their very lives and the country's future.
In Of Kennedy & King, these men's complicated relationship is put on display in the most tumultuous decade in American history: the 1960s, where political ambition, racial tensions, and unprecedented urban and southern violence erupt in a powerful explosion of heroism, betrayal, and unlikely transformation. Told in rapid-fire chapters from the emotionally intimate perspectives of Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., as well as from the ferociously defiant perspectives of J. Edgar Hoover, Klansmen, and militant Black Panthers, this historical thriller reveals the untold story of the fight for civil rights in all of its beautiful, ugly, tragic glory.
