The Autobiography Of Malcolm X by Malcolm XWith the assistance of Alex Haley and introduction by M.S. Handler
ISBN 0345379756, Ballantine Books, New York, 1992
Malcolm X's life in collaborated authorship with Alex Haley. His evolution from prisoner driven by anger to spiritual leader. This is the inspiring story of an iconic figure. Assassinated in 1965, the man's journey is of importance, if not for his transformation, for the forces at play and conflicting elements that ended his life. Max Elbaum says that "The Autobiography Of Malcolm X was without question the single most widely read and influential book among young people of all racial backgrounds who went to their first demonstration sometime between 1965 and 1968."

At a time where Islam is viewed as anathema, Malcolm's spirituality and humanity helps to clarify misconceptions and is more relevant than ever. Didactic for all age groups. Historically and culturally significant.
