These are the better-known books I was referring to. I never took
from them the views that some critics of Malcolm X ascribe to him. In any
case, however, they do not reflect what Breitman argues was a
significant evolution in Malcolm X's views in the year or so before he
was assassinated, and which Breitman tries to document. IMHO they
provide a strong antidote to sectarianism.
