For this paperback edition of a major work on one of the most important black leaders of this country, the author, a senior editor of Newsweek, has added a substantial epilogue which argues convincingly that three of the five accomplices in Malcolm X's assassination in 1965 are still free, while a fourth is serving a short sentence for an unrelated offense. Meanwhile, despite the efforts of William Kunstler and others, two men who are probably innocent remain in prison, "wasted like pawns sacrificed in somebody else's wild chess game," as one of them puts it.
