Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The Autobiography of Malcolm X was intended to be a true autobiography, with the name of Alex Haley appearing not at all or as a ghost writer or as a mere contributor or assistant. However, with the assassination of Malcolm X having occurred in Harlem in New York City on February 21, 1965 just before this book could be published, it became necessary to reveal the important role of Alex Haley in creating this book.
Originally published: New York : Grove Press, 1965.
New introduction by Sam Sloan in 2015 reprint.
