On Freedom And Revolt by Moyler

Author Carl E. Moyler pens a compelling comparison between two Nobel Prize winners – Albert Camus and Martin Luther King, Jr. The comparison addresses major concerns about tyranny, injustice, racism, poverty, exploitation and war. Moyler uncovers and reveals in his book that neither man was willing to stand in the face of these devastating issues and do nothing. Moyler finds common ground for the two men in presenting these issues in spite of their differences in terms of racial and cultural backgrounds – one a humane agnostic and the other a seminary trained, in God we trust, preacher.
