This book begins in 1901, when Booker T. Washington at the age of forty-five was approaching the zenith of his fame and influence, and ends with his death in 1915. It is a biographical study in the sense that its focus is on the complex, enigmatic figure of Washington, the most powerful black minority-group boss of his time.

Industry Reviews

"If the second volume measures up to the first, Harlan's biography of Booker T. Washington will be the best study we have of a black American. It already sets a standard unmatched for the penetration of obscure origins and elaborate myths."--C. Vann Woodward, The New Republic "A model biography, superbly researched and written, and hauntingly evocative of the flawed man and his bitter times...[S]ure to [be] the last word on this stage of Washington's career for many years to come."--History: Reviews of New Books "Will stand as one of the significant American biographies of this generation. Harlan's style is easy and readable, his knowledge of the subject profound, his research seemingly exhaustive."--Journal of Southern History
