From the Inside Flap
ling...A stunning composite of the black leader drawn from the declassified FBI documents spanning over a decade of undercover surveillance."

The FBI opened its file on Malcolm X shortly after his release from a Boston prison in March 1953. Twelve years later -- on February 21, 1965 -- he was assassinated in a hail of bullets.
