Facing Frederick: The Life of Frederick Douglass, a Monumental American Man by Tonya Bolden

3.0

This book is well-researched but a little too dry. I think the author overcorrected in not conjecturing about Douglass' emotions and sticking solely to facts and correspondance, which leaves the reader cold. You do not get the same sense of what Douglass was going through as you do through other biographical works of civil rights leaders like March.
