Malcolm X
Hi Victor
I'm not strong on biographies but will put this one by Malcolm X on my reading list.

Malcolm X
Malcolm X's blazing, legendary autobiography, completed shortly before his assassination in 1965, depicts a remarkablelife : a child born into rage and despair, who turned to street-hustling and cocaine in the Harlem ghetto, followed by prison, where he converted to the Black Muslims and honed the energy and brilliance that made him one of the most important political figures of his time - and an icon in ours. It also charts the spiritual journey that took him beyond militancy, and led to his murder, in a powerful story of transformation, redemption and betrayal.
I knew very little about the man before I read his autobiography, but am happy that my reading of his book has led to an objective appreciation of this great, abfab man.
