Through a life of passion and struggle, Malcolm X became one of the most influential figures of the 20th Century. Though at times self-aggrandizing, Malcolm X tells of his extraordinary transformation from a boy whose father was murdered by white supremacists to a young scam artist and drug dealer in Harlem, New York to a self-taught scholar in prison to a prominent leader in and minister for the Nation of Islam and then finally, to a man transformed by his trip to Africa and to Mecca and marked as a threat by the Nation of Islam leaders. The Autobiography is told through the first-person voice of Malcolm X with added content and narrative provided by Alex Haley. Written by Alex Haley, who had conducted extensive audiotaped interviews with Malcolm X just before his assassination in 1965, the book gained renown as a classic work on black American experience.
