MixedLos Angeles Review of Books\"This is the history of Great Men: the triumphal history of victors. It is also the history of two very naughty men, though Levingston only occasionally alludes to the two men’s personal vices ... Kennedy and King reduces morality to obvious indignity, emotion to family life, and everything else to politics ... Levingston names the goal to which King is committed, and which Kennedy eventually embraces, \'black justice.\' This locution feels out of place in a book whose style is largely that of a bygone era when the liberal, Coastal consensus (of white men) was fully self-confident.\
