Book Overview
On February 21, 1965, at a meeting of the Organization of Afro-American Unity at the popular Audubon Ballroom in Harlem, Malcolm X was shot & killed. However, over the following decades, the people & motives behind his assassination have remained shrouded in mystery. Now, based on 15 years of research, including hundreds of interviews & the examination of 300,000 pages of declassified FBI & CIA documents, The Judas Factor: The Plot to Kill Malcolm X provides the first in-depth analysis of the role the intelligence community played in instigating the death of the Nation of Islam's most revered-and feared-leader. The Judas Factor details Malcolm X's rise & fall, revealing how the intelligence community monitored him, through agents provocateur & infiltration, manipulating his course. Thoroughly documented & illustrated with rare photographs, The Judas Factor is a riveting & often shocking work that sheds new light on the tragic death of one of the greatest black leaders of our time. Karl Evanzz is currently on the staff of the Washington Post. As a freelance writer, his articles have appeared in the Washington Post, Southern Exposure, Black Film in Review, & numerous other publications.

Karl Evanzz does a wonderful job putting together this book. I found out information about the NOI that I was unaware of. For example, the murders that were committed by some of their members even after Malcolm X was assassinated. Mr. Evanzz also did a good job showing the CIA and FBI's involvement in Malcolm's life and affairs. Furthermore, he shows their role in the elimination of African revolutionary leaders. This book also has great references and an outstanding bibliography. Fantastic book.
Excellent Book!!

This book is so well written, it, should be taught in high schools to teach teenagers about investigative reporting. Evanzz brings it all together the Nation of Islam, Elijah Muhammed, the FBI, Malcolm X, and the world at his death into the middle of your heart. You will never forget a single fact or surprising circumstance. A must read.
The only book I read all the way through,since high school;)
