by Herb Boyd (Author), Don Rojas (Author)
Like two intrepid leftist sleuths, Herb Boyd and Don Rojas
take a deep dive into the files of the CIA, mainly inspired by Malcolm X's
belief that he was under surveillance. They unearth and disclose enough
evidence to confirm Malcolm's suspicion as well as to suggest, through
circumstantial documentation, at least one agent stalking him. The book offers
valuable insight into the history of government agencies spying on Black
activists, and targeting Malcolm was just among the most notable of those in
the CIA's crosshairs. Plummeting the depths of secrecy and intrigue of the CIA
and Black radicals, Boyd and Rojas provide a promising blueprint and when, if
ever, the agencies decide to declassify more documents on Malcolm, their work
will be pivotal in the further pursuit of this ignominious truth.
