On February 18, 1965, an overflowing crowd packed the Cambridge Union in Cambridge, England, to witness a historic televised debate between James Baldwin, the leading literary voice of the civil rights movement, and William F. Buckley Jr., a fierce critic of the movement and America's most influential conservative intellectual. The topic was "the American dream is at the expense of the American Negro", and no one who has seen the debate can soon forget it. Nicholas Buccola's The Fire Is upon Us is the first book to tell the full story of the event.

Sadly, the story is timeless.

Well written and narrated. A necessary listen.

The most amazing part is that there are audio clips from the debate in the appendicies. Such an informative audio book that substantiates racial injustice that has been codified into American politics.
