"A moving cultural biography of abolitionist martyr John Brown, by one of the most important African-American intellectuals of the twentieth century. In the history of slavery and its legacy, John Brown looms large as a hero whose deeds partly precipitated the Civil War. As Frederick Douglass wrote: "When John Brown stretched forth his arm .... the clash of arms was at hand." DuBois's biography brings Brown stirringly to life and is a neglected classic. From the Trade Paperback edition."
"This classic American biography contains the moving story of abolitionist John Brown whose important legacy, according to Du Bois, is the message that "the cost of liberty is less than the price of oppression." Du Bois's treatment of this historical figure is an intelligent, thoughtful and stirring read."@en
"This new edition of Du Bois's John Brown includes the text of the original 1909 edition and is accompanied by a major introduction that underscores Du Bois's intellectual and emotional debt to the martyred abolitionist. John David Smith's introduction asks new questions about Brown's influence on Du Bois's emerging thoughts on race and society. Smith also provides contextualizing documents, including letters from Brown to his family and Frederick Douglass's account of his last meeting with Brown."
