Malcolm X: The Assassination

Be the first to write a review

Overview

On February 21, 1965, Malcolm X knew the end was near.

More About This Book

Overview

On February 21, 1965, Malcolm X knew the end was near. For months he had been outrunning armed Muslims who wanted to kill him for breaking with Elijah Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, and defaming his name. And the strain showed as he moved to the podium in Harlem's Audubon Ballroom where a crowd of four hundred had gathered for a public rally — only to witness Malcolm's X's violent end.

Malcolm X: The assassination explores the conspiracy theories that found the FBI and CIA responsible for the murder, examines the stories of the two Muslim brothers from a New York mosque who were wrongly convicted of the crime, and provides an in-depth analysis of Malcolm X relationship with Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam.

Now, three decades later, the controversy behind the assassination still rages in today's headlines, and the unresolved circumstances of Malcolm's tragic death continue to create a haunting legacy for us all.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly
This survey, which grew out of Friedly's honors thesis at Stanford University, breaks no new ground but carefully summarizes much material on the assassination of Malcolm X, concluding that ``it was actually the Nation of Islam, and not the government, whose driving desire to see the black nationalist silenced could have led to murder.'' After describing the assassination, Friedly sketches the highly inadequate trial, which aimed merely to decide the guilt of the three suspects and pointedly failed to illuminate the facts behind the killing. Friedly deftly dissects the various conspiracy theories, most of which suggest government agents killed Malcolm to prevent his call for African governments to condemn U.S. racism. Using information from assassin Talmadge Hayer, Friedly reconstructs the assassins' plan to kill Malcolm X, then explores Malcolm X's break with Elijah Muhammad that gave the Black Muslims a motive. Though the Nation of Islam was not an inherently violent organization, the group members possessed some characteristics--such as unswerving loyalty--that encouraged some to pursue violence.
