Pulitzer Prize winner Les Payne paints vivid and dramatic scenes from start to finish, from Malcolm's meeting with the KKK in 1961 to a minute-by-minute account of his murder in 1965, in which Payne reveals the complicity of the American government. This magisterial work sets his life not only within the political struggles of his day but also against the larger backdrop of American history. Winner of the National Book Award for Nonfiction.
