This work provides a portrait of Louis Farrakhan, who leads the Nation of Islam, the largest radical black Muslim organization in the USA, most of whose adherents are African Americans in the inner cities. Members have included Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali and the organization's appeal among young blacks has grown steadily, with its message being propagated by rap musicians, including Public Enemy. For this book, the author was given access to Farrakhan personally and to previously classified FBI and other government files and tapes of his speeches and sermons.
