Reviews
"The political analyst and host of AM Joy on MSNBC argues that President Trump's administration is characterized by grift and venality that demeans the office and diminishes America." -- New York Times Book Review on The Man Who Sold America "Joy Reid masterfully combines the immediacy of news reporting, the intimacy of memoir, and the sweep of a history book--from the anti-immigrant Know Nothing Party of the 1850s to Nelson Mandela's post-apartheid attempt at 'reconciliation.' The Man Who Sold America delivers a compelling account of how we got to Trumpism and what will happen next." -- Lawrence O'Donnell, host of MSNBC's The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell "Passionate, well-intentioned and certain to draw approving nods. ... Imagines a path beyond our current divisions." -- Washington Post on The Man Who Sold America "An impassioned exposé of Donald Trump, from his early adult years as an ethically challenged businessman through his first two years as president. ... In fiery prose, Reid delivers a well-researched narrative about how Trump methodically overcame establishment Republican opponents to dominate a political party he had shunned for most of his life. ... A searing indictment and a good choice for readers who have never delved into Trump's pre-presidential background." -- Kirkus Reviews on The Man Who Sold America "Reid is well positioned to ponder Trump's performance and to wonder if his presidency will do long-term harm to our democracy. A shrewd analyst of current political trends, Reid offers fierce scrutiny of Trump's controversial performance and fresh insights into his potential legacy." -- Booklist on The Man Who Sold America, "Compelling. ... Reid centers her engrossing history on the bond between Medgar Evers and his wife, now Myrlie Evers-Williams. ... Reid conducted extensive interviews with Evers-Williams and offers [an] intimate account." -- New York Times Book Review "In the month that revels in love, indulge your passion for reading with these works. MSNBC anchor Joy-Ann Reid delves into the lives of Medgar and Myrlie Evans, offering a compelling narrative of a love story that played a significant role in shaping American history.... shares the extraordinary lives and overlooked legacy of civil rights icons Medgar and Myrlie Evers, offering an intimate look at their inspiring love story and their crucial work for civil rights, with Medgar's widow Myrlie's blessing." -- Ebony "Joy-Ann Reid takes an in-depth look at the lives and legacy of civil rights champions Medgar and Myrlie Evers in "Medgar and Myrlie." With the blessing of the Evers family, Reid shares the story of the couples' work on the front lines of the struggle and how even after Medgar's assassination, Myrlie worked to continue their activism." -- The Root, "Books We Can't Wait to Read" "Joy-Ann Reid tells the story of the civil rights activists Medgar and Myrlie Evers. Reid follows Myrlie beyond Medgar's 1963 assassination and into her struggles during the succeeding decades, a time when she found her voice as a public speaker in the movement for racial justice." -- New York Times ("17 New Books Coming in February") "Buoyed by first-person interviews with Myrlie herself as well as vibrant research into the tumultuous and indelible days of Freedom Riders and sit-ins, police brutality and FBI surveillance, Reid's spotlight shines brightest on the commitment the Everses made to the movement and to each other. As is befitting of the biographies of true heroes, Reid's double portrait soars and inspires." -- Booklist (starred review) "I love this book. The empathic, brilliant, and wise Joy Reid has brought us the poignant, fascinating inside story of an important marriage in American history....Medgar and Myrlie Evers confronted pure evil and risked their lives to ensure that all American children might grow up in a United States that was more just. As Reid shows us, that painful task is now more urgent than ever." -- Michael Beschloss
Synopsis
#1 New York Times Bestseller NAACP Image Award Winner From Joy-Ann Reid, a triumphant work of biography that repositions slain Civil Rights pioneer Medgar Evers at the heart of America's struggle for freedom, and celebrates Myrlie Evers's extraordinary activism after her husband's assassination in the driveway of their Mississippi home. "Medgar Evers deserves a place alongside Malcolm X and Dr. King in our historical memory. Evers, with Myrlie as his partner in activism and in life, was doing civil rights work in the single most hostile and dangerous environment in America."--from Medgar and Myrlie Myrlie Louise Beasley met Medgar Evers on her first day of college. They fell in love at first sight, married just one year later, and Myrlie left school to focus on their growing family. Medgar became the field secretary for the Mississippi branch of the NAACP, charged with beating back the most intractable and violent resistance to black voting rights in the country. Myrlie served as Medgar's secretary and confidant, working hand in hand with him as they struggled against public accommodations and school segregation, lynching, violence, and sheer despair within their state's "black belt." They fought to desegregate the intractable University of Mississippi, organized picket lines and boycotts, despite repeated terroristic threats, including the 1962 firebombing of their home, where they lived with their three young children. On June 12, 1963, Medgar Evers became the highest profile victim of Klan-related assassination of a black civil rights leader at that time; gunned down in the couple's driveway in Jackson. In the wake of his tragic death, Myrlie carried on their civil rights legacy; writing a book about Medgar's fight, trying to win a congressional seat, and becoming a leader of the NAACP in her own right. In this groundbreaking and thrilling account of two heroes of the civil rights movement, Joy-Ann Reid uses Medgar and Myrlie's relationship as a lens through which to explore the on-the-ground work that went into winning basic rights for Black Americans, and the repercussions that still resonate today.
