Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam

Rating:
Summary: Good information presented as objectively as possible
Review: How can a biographer write about Louis Farrakhan without passion? I admire Haskins for the pains he has taken to present both the positive traits and the failings of a man who has been been simultaneously viewed as a hero and a dangerous villain in America. By separation of fact, allegation and speculation, Haskins allows readers to form their opinions. The chapters on the Nation of Islam and Malcolm X gave a very concise history and were essential to show Farrakhan's place in the history of our country.
