Ryan Holiday mentioned Parting the Waters by Taylor Branch 2 times

I’ve raved about some of my favorite epic biographies before: Robert Caro’s LBJ and William Manchester’s Churchill, among others. Well, add another to the list: Taylor Branch’s definitive series on Martin Luther King Jr. and the American civil rights movement. I’ve come to believe that one of the best ways to become an informed citizen in the present is not to watch the news, but to read history.

The other book that I read this year, that my friend Paul Kix recommended. I really like epic biographies so he recommended the Taylor Branch series on Martin Luther King.
