Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This in-depth biography chronicles the life, career, and enduring influence of the author of Roots and The Autobiography of Malcom X. A New York Times Sunday Book Review Editors’ Choice Alex Haley’s influence on American society in the second half of the twentieth century cannot be overstated. His two great works radically changed the way white and black Americans viewed each other and their country. This biography follows Haley from his childhood in segregated Tennessee to the creation of those two seminal works, and the fame and fortune that followed. After discovering a passion for writing in the Navy, Haley became a star journalist in the heyday of magazine profiles. At Playboy, he profiled everyone from Martin Luther King and Miles Davis to Johnny Carson and Malcolm X—which led to their collaboration on The Autobiography of Malcolm X. Roots was a more personal project for Haley. The book and subsequent miniseries ignited an ongoing craze for family history and made Haley one of the most famous writers in the country. This deeply researched biography delves into his literary craft, his career as one of the first African American star journalists, and the turbulent times in which he lived.
