Reviews"The most important book I'll ever read, it changed the way I thought; it changed the way I acted. It has given me courage I didn't know I had inside me. I'm one of hundreds of thousands whose lives were changed for the better." --Spike Lee "Extraordinary . . . a brilliant, painful, important book." -- The New York Times "A great book . . . Its dead level honesty, its passion, its exalted purpose, will make it stand as a monument to the most painful truth." -- The Nation "This book will have a permanent place in the literature of the Afro-American struggle." --I. F. Stone From the Hardcover edition., "Malcolm X's autobiography seemed to offer something different. His repeated acts of self-creation spoke to me; the blunt poetry of his words, his unadorned insistence on respect, promised a new and uncompromising order, martial in its discipline, forged through sheer force of will." --Barack Obama, Dreams from My Father "Extraordinary . . . a brilliant, painful, important book." -- The New York Times "A great book . . . Its dead level honesty, its passion, its exalted purpose, will make it stand as a monument to the most painful truth." -- The Nation "The most important book I'll ever read, it changed the way I thought, it changed the way I acted.

SynopsisONE 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.

Required reading
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.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

REQUIRED reading for ALL Americans
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".Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Great story-telling
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.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
