The Almighty Black P Stone Nation: The Rise, Fall, and Resurgence of an American Gang
By Natalie Y. Moore and Lance Williams "Were the Stones criminals, brainwashed terrorists, victims of their circumstances, or champions of social change? Or were they all four, their role perceived differently by different races and socioeconomic groups? "Authors Natalie Y. Moore and Lance Williams answer these and other question in this provocative tale that explores how teens from a poverty-stricken Chicago neighborhood built a powerful organization that united 21 individual gangs into a virtual nation." © 2011 Hard cover 259 pages

Parting the Waters: America in the King Years 1954 - 63
By Taylor Branch "Moving from the fiery political baptism of Martin Luther King, Jr. to the corridors of Camelot where the Kennedy brothers weighted demands for justice against the deceptions of J. Edgar Hoover, here is a vivid tapestry of America, torn and finally transformed by a revolutionary struggle unequaled since the Civil War. "Taylor Branch provides an unsurpassed portrait of King's rise to greatness and illuminates the stunning courage and private conflict, the deals, maneuvers, betrayals, and rivalries that determined history behind closed doors, at boycotts and sit-ins, on bloody freedom rides, and through siege and murder. "Epic in scope and impact, Branch's chronicle definitively captures one of the nation's most crucial passages." © 1988 Paperback 1009 pages

Pillar of Fire: America in the King Years 1963 - 65
By Taylor Branch "The second volume of his America in the King Years trilogy, Taylor Branch portrays the civil rights era at its zenith. . . .covers the far-flung upheavals of the years 1963 to 1965 -- Dallas, St. Augustine, Mississippi Freedom Summer, LBJ's Great Society and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Vietnam, Selma. And it provides a frank, revealing portrait of Martin Luther King, Jr. -- haunted by blackmail, factionalism and hatred while he tried to hold the nonviolent movement together as a dramatic force in history. Allies, rivals and opponents addressed racial issues that went deeper than fair treatment at bus stops or lunch counters. Participants on all sides stretched themselves and their country to the breaking point over the meaning of simple words: dignity, equal votes, equal souls." © 1998 Hard cover 716 pages
