Jesse: The Life and Pilgrimage of Jesse Jackson

New York: Random House, 1996. First Edition. 552, endpaper illus., bibliography, printing flaw at pp. 427 and 430, text complete. One of America's most insightful journalists presents his long-awaited, newsbreaking biography of Jesse Jackson--an enthralling journey that reveals the nonstop demands of a character and sets them against the fundamental, dividing prism of race in America. This involving biography, sympathetic but not sycophantic, presents Jesse Jackson as a deeply contrary American figure with ambitions personal and collective, transcendent and corporeal. Condition: good, very good.
