A testament of great emotional power, the book presents the Malcolm X that very few knew, the man behind the stereotyped firebrand - a sensitive, proud, highly intelligent man who passionately and lucidly articulated the struggle and the beliefs of African Americans in the 1960s. Cut short by the riddle of assassins' bullets, Malcolm X held the preminition that he would not live long enough to see this book appear. It is,in its dead level honesty, an established classic of modern America. 'The most important book I'll ever read. It changed the way I thought; it changed the way I acted' - Spike Lee.

Synopsis :

ONE OF TIME’S TEN MOST IMPORTANT NONFICTION BOOKS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

In the searing pages of this classic autobiography, originally published in 1964, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and anti-integrationist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Black Muslim movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American Dream, and the inherent racism in a society that denies its nonwhite citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time. The Autobiography of Malcolm X stands as the definitive statement of a movement and a man whose work was never completed but whose message is timeless. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand America.
