"He was "Thunder" to the Secret Service, "Reverend" to staff members, "one hundred and ninety pounds of intellectual dynamite...a bad dude...our savior" to adoring congregations, and a grandstanding Elmer Gantry to his detractors. He is Jesse Louis Jackson, and Thunder in America is the story of the first serious presidential bid by a black American." --Jacket copy.
