For this paperback edition Peter Goldman includes a substantial epilogue which argues convincingly that three of the five accomplices in Malcolm X's assassination in 1965 are still free, while a fourth is serving a short sentience for an unrelated offense. Meanwhile, despite the efforts of William Kunstler and others, two men who are probably innocent remain in prison, "wasted like pawns sacrificed in somebody else's wild chess game," as one of them puts it.
"Goldman, shiningly eloquent, accurately gauges the impact of Malcolm's life on a whole generation of black people. . . . Malcolm would have, I think, approved of Goldman's biography and that would have been no faint praise."--Orde Coombs, New York Times Book Review
"Highly recommended to both academicians and general readers. It adds vividly to our understanding of the complexities of racial ideology."--Andrew Buni, America
"Nowhere else in print has such detailed, objective account of Malcolm X's last tragic years appeared. . . . Demonstrates how Malcolm X's influence in the black community became really significant upon his death."--Norman Lederer, Library Journal
Peter Goldman, a graduate of the Columbia School of Journalism, has been senior editor of Newsweek since 1969 and has written more than one hundred cover stories on the American scene. Goldman first met Malcolm in 1962 and interviewed him on a number of occasions.
