Exploring the life of a complex figure, this biography delves into Louis Lomax's journey from his Deep South childhood to becoming a prominent voice in the civil rights movement. Thomas Aiello highlights Lomax's contradictions as a journalist, provocateur, and ally to civil rights leaders like Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. By examining Lomax's belief in "the art of deliberate disunity," the book reflects the tumultuous landscape of 1960s America, offering an engaging and comprehensive study of an often-overlooked yet significant personality.
