All on Fire

Widely acknowledged as the definitive history of the era, Henry Mayer?s National Book Award finalist biography of William Lloyd Garrison brings to life one of the most significant American abolitionists. Extensively researched and exquisitely nuanced, the political and social climate of Garrison?s times and his achievements appear here in all their prophetic brilliance.

?Henry Mayer has written one of the best accounts we are ever likely to have of how one man?s idealistic belief in the possibility of moral regeneration and political transformation came to be realized.... A monumental work of historical biography.??Michael Winston, Washington Post Book World
