The Autobiography of Malcolm X as Told to Alex Haley is by Malcolm X and Alex Haley. An interesting, poignant, and classic autobiography of a man few know much about. His death was overshadowed in some ways by the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., his more well known contemporary. Haley paints an objective picture of Malcolm X, his faults and his good qualities. It is clear Haley liked Malcolm. An excellent read for a look at racial relations in the 20th century.
Ratings: 11th grade - 8 out of 10 - P (profanity) - AC (mature thematic content).
