My review may be a bit biased because Malcolm X is one of my heroes, but this is one of the most insightful books I’ve come across.
The audiobook, narrated by Laurence Fishburn is really special. At times I forgot it was a narration and felt that I was actually listening to Malcolm X talk about his life and the many, many influential moments in his life that lead him to become the man he became.
Who he was to many was controversial, but that’s only because they don’t know his story, including what lead him to become more inclusive in his approach in his years before his assassination.
Any intelligent, truth loving person will thoroughly enjoy this book!
