Roots: The Saga of an American Family
by Alex Haley
An interesting read. The scenes of violence and sexual abuse that were perpetrated on slaves are pretty graphic. That aside, it is an inspiring saga of a family overcoming severe obstacles to eventually achieve "the American Dream". It covers several generations beginning with the slave Kunta kente down to Alex Haley's modern day family. Interesting if you like genealogies, (though it was disappointing to learn that Alex Haley embellished a lot of the facts in this supposedly true story).
