In Parting the Waters, the first volume of his essential America in the King Years series, Pulitzer Prize winner Taylor Branch gives a "compelling...masterfully told" (The Wall Street Journal) account of Martin Luther King's early years and rise to greatness. Hailed as the most masterful story ever told of the American Civil Rights Movement, Parting the Waters is destined to endure for generations. Moving from the fiery political baptism of Martin Luther King, Jr., to the corridors of Camelot where the Kennedy brothers weighed 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.Binding Type: Paperback

Love it …. But
Color: F-Purple
I love this watch it’s really pretty I love purple and it certainly is all purple however the band is very difficult and I don’t think it latches tight it’s fallen off my wrist a couple of times so I’m took it off and I’m gonna just save it for going out or something but I really love it - I am disappointed with the band - Would not buy as a gift

Purple watch
Color: F-Purple
The watch is cute but the magnet clasp is not sturdy so the watch continues to loosen up continously. So,I'm satisfied

Beautiful Watches
Color: F-Rose Gold
I ordered three of these watches! They were delivered promptly. The seller was very responsive with my question regarding delivery as I wanted to receive them before my birthday of August 29th. As soon as I saw them I knew I made the right choice I ordered the black coffee brown and rose gold all three of them are beautiful they are by far the nicest watches I've ever owned I would say even nicer than my Movado. If you are thinking for a watch for yourself whether business or casual or a gift for someone for Christmas order one of these with the Platinum strap. You won't be disappointed!
