Around the world, Martin Luther King is seen as an inspiration for peaceful protest campaigns. Andrew Roberts challenges this perception in a programme that suggests the civil rights leader was a hard-headed tactician who knew that the success of his campaigns depended on violent confrontation. Against the background of his dramatic campaign in what King called 'the most racist city in America', Roberts explores the character of Martin Luther King and shows the enduring relevance of his leadership techniques to all leaders of protest movements today.
