The story of a man ready to die for his views ..

A very interesting autobiography that allows us to learn much about Malcolm X, whose story and action are little known in Europe ... He explains his career, from his childhood in a small town has its life in New thug York, followed by her incarceration, during which it initiates al Islam "Americanized" Nation of Islam. His life takes a meaning and it will become from that moment one of the great defenders of the African-American causes in the United States.

It was impressive to see how a man can be transformed when it discovers a cause to fight (Malcolm passes from possessing a thug just some vocabulary has an intellectual commitment, attracting thousands of people from the listen) and the evolution of his views on African American because, first framed by the message of the Nation of Islam and more personal suite has its pilgrimage to Mecca and his encounter with the "real" Muslims.

Beyond the Malcolm X of opinion which is not necessarily adhered, one can only admire his determination and his total dedication to his cause, despite the dangers that his position engagee engendered for him and his family.
