Sword and the Shield

a history of Malcolm X and MLK interwoven through their lives, it reads a little like someone's thesis, but is still compelling and very timely. Full of excerpts of speeches and placed solidly in the events of the time, i really enjoyed it and learned an awful lot, despite having read into the two of them separately previously. My only complaint is the reader's attempts at copying the voices of the people he was quoting (Bobby Kennedy, ugh!). Only an issue with the audio version, obviously.
