The Autobiography of Malcolm X by Malcolm X, Alex Haley

4.0

---

This is a remarkable story. Going into the book, I only knew the broad strokes of Malcolm’s life: converting to Islam in prison, becoming a student of life, and then speaking for the Nation of Islam before his murder in the 1960s. This autobiography fills in all the details, and helps the reader understand that journey, and the reason behind his challenging rhetoric during the Civil Rights era.
