The book only underlines Malcolm X's importance to the black community, and highlights the black Civil Rights movement and what blacks were fighting for (and against).

The book is extremely valuable, however, for painting Malcolm in a more understandable and sympathetic light and it belongs on the bookshelf of anyone interested in American history, and the rise of Civil Rights in the United States......
