520    "The little-known story of an iconic photographer, whose 
       work captured--and influenced--a critical moment in 
       American history. Ernest Withers took some of the most 
       legendary images of the 1950s and 60s: Martin Luther King 
       Jr. riding a newly integrated bus in Montgomery, Alabama; 
       Emmett Till's uncle pointing an accusatory finger across 
       the courtroom at his nephew's killer. But from his 
       position at the heart of the cultural revolution, Withers 
       was simultaneously gathering information for the FBI. 
       Withers traversed disparate worlds, from Black Power 
       meetings to raucous Memphis nightclubs where Elvis brushed
       shoulders with B. B. King. In this gripping narrative 
       history, Preston Lauterbach examines the complicated 
       political and economic forces that supported Withers' 
       seeming betrayal of those he witnessed, and suggests that 
       Withers' attention to nuance--so arresting in his 
       photography--also made him essential to the FBI. Bluff 
       City culminates with a riveting account of the 1968 riot 
       that led to Dr. King's death, and investigates how Withers
       may have altered the course of this momentous event"--
