Autobiography of Malcolm X Mass Market Paperback – Deckle Edge, 12 October 1987

One of the most impactful books I'll ever read, had a profound shift in mindset for the greater good. His loyalty to the liberation of the black man from the woes of a society directly opposed to them because of the obvious "by any means necessary" is beyond inspiring.

One of the finest books on one of the greatest figures of the 20th century, MalcomX. This book is a must read for every person of colour and every minority who are discriminated at the hands of the powerful, for the people who are lost and do not know their cause, for people who continue to accept brutality without doing something to defend themself. It was a an important literary work of the last century and it rings much more significance in this century where black people are still fighting for their right towards equality and peace. Malcom X, was good Human being and a thoughtful leader who accepted his shortcomings and corrected them along the way. He was assasinated five decades ago but his message and work lives on in the hearts of millions of black people and other people of colour all over the world.

Mr. Malcolm X was one of the important people in the black history. He was fighting for the black man's right along with MLKing Jr. Though he never believed in his way of gaining freedom from the whites, I believe every non white people should read this book, I guess this is even influencing non white pople like us, we have to know our real history, it is sad that much of these poor black mens history was erased by dirty evil white men. Even indian history was rewritten, NEVER READ ANY HISTORICAL BOOKS BY WHITE MEN simply because he would have re-ordered it. He creating the history for his own purpose. Mr. Malcolm X was able to see through the mirrors. I don't agree to everything he says in this, but I understand where it has come from for this great man, even though he wasted his youth with dope and prostitutes, he came to be one of the greatest men, lover of jazz music and disciple of ALLAH, malcom X will change the way you think for sure.As far as language in this book is concerned, anyone can read it, it is plain simple , I think Mr. Alex Haley wrote this in way because he also wanted to target poor black folks who could barely read back then, anyway overall, You can never put this book down.RIP Brother Malcolm X. Live peacefully in heaven.

The book portrays the struggle of blacks in America and about the man who fought for the welfare of blacks. Malcolms's struggle in childhood and the transformation to a great leader is well explained. The only minus is the printing quality and the small letters.

Encouraging and true image is presented upfront. An autobiography in which you will get everything crime, love, people and politics with the great American issue of racism. It contents power packed lines which motivates people while reading. Writer has crafted autobiography so well that it unveils layers by layers the problem of racism and reach to its roots. Malcom X still stands as an example for many to fight against racism and also he inspire people who are fighting against casteism in India.Book quality and Delivery was great by Amazon.Thanks Amazon.

A great book for knowing the history of Negros and the growth of Islam in America.Extraordinary journey of Malcolm X,his deep insights for seeking justice and equality.A horrifying childhood,spoiled youth and a revolutionary youth

Loved the book. More than inspiring you this book shocks you.Shocks you regarding how somebody who saw his own mother suffer and lose her all when he was barely six or seven years old, who was one of the many hustlers of Harlem, who was once a chronic drug abuser, had seen the worst and been sentenced to prison when he was not even 21 later turn into the greatest of great.Its shocking to see a person who was self educated that too at a prison (prison library) give talks in the most sought after and prestigious institutions.The book talks about the white man as a devil all the time but considering the years blacks spent in slavery, it makes sense. Though, I do think his hate speeches were over the top and sometimes racist.
