"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."--New York Times Book Review
"Peter Goldman has written a masterful account. . . . An
indispensable starting point for anyone interested in contemporary
black life."--Washington Post Book World
"Nowhere else in print has such a 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."--Library Journal
"At long last, the late Malcolm X has received an appropriate
tribute: a biography that approaches his life with the same
unsparing honesty and clarity of thought that he brought to himself
and to the subject of race in American life. . . . The Death and
Life of Malcolm X is a real tour-de-force that is likely to remain
the definitive biography of Malcolm for some time."--Charles
Silberman, author of Crisis in Black and White

editor/journalist Peter Goldman's The Death and Life of Malcolm X .

times."--Manning Marable, Souls: A Critical Journal of Black
Politics, Culture and Society
"Subtly and skillfully illumines Malcolm's career. . . . Goldman's
book, the first full-scale life of Malcolm X, remains an
