Summary:
"In 1990, Les Payne, the renowned Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist, embarked on a nearly thirty-year-long quest to interview anyone he could find who had actually known Malcolm X--all living siblings of the Malcolm Little family, classmates, street friends, cellmates, Nation of Islam figures, FBI moles and cops, and political leaders around the world. Payne's goal was ambitious: to transform what would become over a hundred hours of interviews into an unprecedented portrait of Malcolm X, one that would separate fact from fiction, correct the historical record and deliver extraordinary revelations"--Page 4 of cover.
