5.0 out of 5 stars a great insight on African-American history..., 10 May 2001
By A Customer
Comparing Martin Luther King and Malcom X was a har task to achieve;James H. Cone has wonderfully succeeded.If King is well-known to most people,Malcom X remains quite a mystery to us; Cone clarifies the myth and gives an extrordinary, touching image of both leaders. This book is crucial to anyone who wants to understand the Civil Rights Movement and its link with the apparently opposed Black Power ideology. A must-read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Valuable and Insightful, 10 Dec 2006
By MR NC SHACKLEY (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
James H Cone's `Martin & Malcolm & America' is an impressive study comparing and contrasting the thoughts and philosophies of the two most important black Americans of the twentieth century. Through his penetrating analysis, Cone shows that there were more similarities between these two men than has often been thought.

The book is, for the most part, organised by comparing the two leader's philosophies on an alternate, chapter by chapter basis. Each chapter focuses on how one of the leaders saw a certain topic (ie, integration or American society) and then comparing it with the other. As the book progresses King and Malcolm's views are increasingly merged - as they were in reality.

Cone does not offer any groundbreaking insights when studying Martin and Malcolm as individuals; there is not much here written on each figure that cannot be found somewhere else. What makes the work important is the way he has intertwined and related their views together, showing that King and Malcolm's careers should not be studied in isolation, as they usually are, but that they are both crucial to understanding the plight of African Americans in the twentieth century, and today.
