Abstract "This is the story of the brief, turbulent, and charismatic life of John Calvin Marshall, the man who, in the nascent civil rights movement of the 1960s, became first a spokesman, then a leader, and finally a shining symbol of the new generation of blacks who were demanding their full rights as citizens. From the point of view of the present day, the novel is told in four alternating voices: those of Marshall's widow, Andrea; Lisa Adams, the young white woman who became his trusted aide and passionate mistress; Bobby Card, his chief lieutenant; and finally, Marshall himself. These fictional voices are joined by those of the leading figures of the time - Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, J. Edgar Hoover, and Malcolm X - whose conversations with Marshall add insights and historical perspective to the unfolding events." -- back cover.
