Title: The Warmth of Other Suns_ The Epic Story
Author: Isabel Wilkerson
File Type: Mobi
Subject:History
Description:
In this epic, beautifully written masterwork, Pulitzer Prize–winning author Isabel Wilkerson chronicles one of the great untold stories of American history: the decades-long migration of black citizens who fled the South for northern and western cities, in search of a better life. From 1915 to 1970, this exodus of almost six million people changed the face of America. Wilkerson compares this epic migration to the migrations of other peoples in history. She interviewed more than a thousand people, and gained access to new data and official records, to write this definitive and vividly dramatic account of how these American journeys unfolded, altering our cities, our country, and ourselves. With stunning historical detail, Wilkerson tells this story through the lives of three unique individuals: Ida Mae Gladney, who in 1937 left sharecropping and prejudice in Mississippi for Chicago, where she achieved quiet blue-collar success and, in old age, voted for Barack Obama when he ran for an Illinois Senate seat; sharp and quick-tempered George Starling, who in 1945 fled Florida for Harlem, where he endangered his job fighting for civil rights, saw his family fall, and finally found peace in God; and Robert Foster, who left Louisiana in 1953 to pursue a medical career, the personal physician to Ray Charles as part of a glitteringly successful medical career, which allowed him to purchase a grand home where he often threw exuberant parties.Wilkerson brilliantly captures their first treacherous and exhausting cross-country trips by car and train and their new lives in colonies that grew into ghettos, as well as how they changed these cities with southern food, faith, and culture and improved them with discipline, drive, and hard work. Both a riveting microcosm and a major assessment, **The Warmth of Other Suns** is a bold, remarkable, and riveting work, a superb account of an “unrecognized immigration” within our own land. Through the breadth of its narrative, the beauty of the writing, the depth of its research, and the fullness of the people and lives portrayed herein, this book is destined to become a classic.

His organization of facts could hardly be better.--AtlanticFocused on the pivotal year of 1863 the second volume of Shelby Footes masterful narrative history brings to life some of the most dramatic and important moments in the Civil War including the Battle of Gettysburg and Grants Vicksburg campaign. Foote has an acute sense of the relative importance of events and a novelists skill in directing the readers attention to the men and the episodes that will influence the course of the whole war without omitting items which are of momentary interest. His organization of facts could hardly be better. -The Atlantic Though the events of this middle year of the Civil War have been recounted hundreds of times they have rarely been re-created with such vigor and such picturesque detail. -The New York Times Book Review The lucidity of the battle narratives the vigor of the prose the strong feeling for the men from generals to privates who did the fighting are all controlled by constant sense of how it happened and what it was all about. Foote has the novelists feeling for character and situation without losing the historians scrupulous regard for recorded fact. The Civil War is likely to stand unequaled. -Walter Millsspan
