Pillar of Fire: America in the King Years 1963-65
Branch, Taylor. Pillar of Fire: America in the King Years 1963-65. New York: Simon & Schuster, 1998.
Why this matters here
Branch's second King Years volume covers the civil rights struggle through the Selma voting-rights campaign. When Authority Is Misread cites that history at the passage about Bloody Sunday and the political cost of continued delay. The interpretation of confrontation as a communication structure belongs to the book.
