The Autobiography of Malcolm X.
I truly believe that Malcolm X was the only person who has walked the earth, who could have changed the world, and would have wanted to change it - based purely on the desire to see all people be treated equally (with fairness, equal opportunity, and without random or inherited hatred for other races).
Malcolm's autobiography tells of many different stages he went through, and how many different lives he lived; from gifted child, to enthusiastic teen, to working with drug dealers, thieves and prostitutes, being a drug addict in prison, finding religion, becoming a preacher, a leader, then finding jealous people on all sides.
The book, the story is flawlessly put together, never-ever boring, thrilling, joyful, heart breaking, inspiring.
Malcolm lived and died for truth and honesty, he took on- not only the whole of America but also the rest of the world.
Malcolm had the mind to solve any problem, and the heart to never stop, even with death threats and various assasination attempts.
"X in Mathematics represents the unknown, until I know the name of my forefathers, my family name, and not the name of my former slave master, I will carry the name "X".
Beautiful person, and a REAL man.
All he had to do to live, was to be quiet and become as evil, corrupt and greedy as all the people around him, but he'd rather die than become them.
And sadly, tragically he did.
Malcolm's autobiography is of huge historic, political and human importance.
It's my favourite book, and I respect Malcolm X as much as anyone in the history of earth.

I'd read the book allready in german ('cause I'am german) and can't stop reading it again and again. If you read it carefuly and open your mind to it's massage it will change your life. Only one other book can change lifes the bible the real words of the living god. The message of gods word will change your life for the eternaty your life after death, but Malcolms message change your life here and your relationship to other people and peoples. Behonestly and check your mind the real reasons of your behavior. In every case if you are W.M., Y.M., R.M. or B.M (if you're withe or colored) Dennis Michalke

This is one of the most important books of the century. This book should be required reading for every high school student of every race in the United States. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
