Being penned by a skilled author, from countless hours of interviews, it reads like an exiting novel. So, no risk of history being boring. In fact, it is a little bit shocking. But most of all, the understanding and insight we can gain from this book should be mandatory for all who have not lived such a frightening life themselves.

I paid a little extra for this book then other listings to get the book cover that is pictured. It came in the mail and it had a different book cover. But overall still a good book and value.

This book should be required reading for EVERYONE, not just Blacks. Real eye-opener. He was an incredible man and the truest American, by definition. If you think this government is shady and game playing, then you'll understand why he was most feared man in the US...you'll also see where Americas hate for Islam began. I read this and Connecticut Yankee... every 3 yrs to stay "woke".

This is excellent real-story telling from Malcolm X and Alex Haley. I especially enjoyed the stories of X’s early life during the Depression, etc. that indeed helped build the man’s values. Because there was so much to say, the type face was small for me and I couldn’t read a lot at one time and wished I could.

This is one book that young teens to adults will not be able to put down. As a mother of 5 sons who HATE to read, this is the book that got ALL of them turning pages and interested in reading as teenagers. The story of the life of Malcolm X is so well written in this book that it makes you feel what he felt, and understand the events that made him the man that he became and answers a lot of misconceptions about him, his life and his way of thinking. This is one story that confirms the expression "don't judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes". A "must read".
Best Book Ever.This was the final triumph of Malcolm X and the resolution that makes his life story into a classic American tale: that in the end, he was able to move beyond the chrysalis of his racial hatred and emerge an integrated enlightened being. I'm sure most everyone has either read this book or seen Spike Lee's excellent biopic, so we need not rehash the story too thoroughly. Anyway, what matters are the essentials. Malcolm Little was a street punk when he was exposed to the Nation of Islam in prison. This exposure, and the racial pride and anger that went with it, lead him to educate himself and get involved with the Nation, where he became one of the most effective spokesmen and organizers. A confrontational proponent of racial separatism and black self-reliance, during the Civil Rights struggle, he was yin to Martin Luther King's yang (or as I read somewhere, he was the Old Testament figure, King was a figure from the New)--the constant reminder to whites that if King's nonviolent methods failed to produce results, millions of righteously resentful young black men were waiting in the wings. But, when Malcolm X made a hadj to Mecca, he discovered that there were Moslems of all races, worshipping together peacefully, and that racism played no part in traditional Islam.Read full review
most excellent book ..... found out that again what the mainstream media tells you is mostly truly fiction poising as history.
