This is the story of a great American leader, vain, brilliant, arrogant, and brave." -Tracy Kidder — "It restores full human stature to the mythic figur... more »e of Frederick douglass and, in every respect, is a worthy successor to McFeely's Grant." -Justin Kaplin
"An eloquent and illuminating study of a great nineteenth centuray American about whom we know less than we may think. William McFeely gives us a human and appealing, but not unflawed Frederick Douglass." -Tom Wicker« less
