Dangerous Friendship - Stanley Levison, Martin Luther King Jr., and the Kennedy Brothers

Informationen zum Autor Ben Kamin is a nationally known clergyman, teacher, and counselor, and he is the author of eight books on human values, civil rights, and spirituality. Klappentext The product of long-concealed FBI surveillance documents, Dangerous Friendship chronicles a history of Martin Luther King Jr. that the government kept secret from the public for years. The book tells the story of Stanley Levison, a well-known figure in the Communist Party-USA, who became one of King's closest friends and advisers, and the extent to which King, Levison, and many other freedom workers were surveilled by people at the very top of the U.S. security establishment. Zusammenfassung With stunning revelations, this book exposes both the general attitude of the U.S. government toward the privacy rights of American citizens during those difficult years as well as the extent to which King, Levison, and many other freedom workers were hounded by people at the very top of the U.S. security establishment.
