At Canann's Edge by Taylor Branch is subtitled America in the King Years 1965-68. Taylor Branch won the Pulitzer Prize for History in 1989 for his book "Parting the Waters: America in the King Years, 1954-1963," the first volume of his acclaimed trilogy on Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement. The second book in the trilogy was Parting the Waters, and this book, At Canaan's Edge, concludes the trilogy. In the book, King and his movement stand at the zenith of America's defining story, a decade into the epic struggle for the promise of democracy. The book opens with the violent suppression of a voters right march in Alabama in 1965. The quest to cross Selma's Edmund Pettus Bridge engages the world and strains the Civil Rights coalition. The book portrays King at his height and shows why his fight for freedom and nonviolence make him a defining figure in American history.
