Extremist for Love

History & Biography

“Burrow does the painstaking work of delineating where King was at certain points in his life, without coming across as plodding, laborious, or tedious. Instead, he interweaves fabrics of King's heritage, thought, and action to create a tapestry of his ontological subject with such biographical accuracy and critical thoroughness that we enter into a fuller understanding of the real man scarcely found elsewhere. The poignancy and profundity of King's praxis that Burrow articulates augment the reader’s ability to reach a new appreciation of King with matchless depth and insightfulness. It is a must-read for any student of the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.!”
