David O. McKay and the Rise of Modern Mormonism is the first book to draw upon the David O. McKay Papers at the J. Willard Marriott Library, University of Utah, in addition to some two hundred interviews conducted by the authors, Gregory Prince and Wm. Robert Wright. Prince and Wright received the Mormon History Association's 2006 Best Biography award for the work.

Based largely on an extensive body of records gathered and maintained by McKay's longtime secretary, Clare Middlemiss, the book focuses on the years of McKay's presidency, during which the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints faced the challenges of worldwide growth in an age of communism, the American Civil Rights Movement, and ecumenism.
