ONE OF TIME'S TEN MOST IMPORTANT NONFICTION BOOKS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY 

If there was any one man who articulated the anger, the struggle, and the beliefs of African Americans in the 1960s, that man was Malcolm X. His Autobiography is now an established classic of modern America, a book that expresses like none other the Crucial truth about our violent times. This book is the result of a unique collaboration between Malcolm X and Alex Haley, whose own search for his African past, inspired by his encounter with Malcolm X, led him to write the celebrated bestseller Roots. 

" The most important book I'll ever read. It changed the way I thought. It changed the way I acted. It has given me courage that I didn't know I have inside me. I'm one of hundreds of thousands whose life was changed for the better. "

Spike Lee
