The Sword and the Shield: The Revolutionary Lives of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.

The Sword and the Shield is a groundbreaking dual biography that transforms our understanding of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., two of the most iconic African American leaders of the 20th century.

This book upends longstanding preconceptions to reveal a nuanced portrait of two men who inspired and pushed each other throughout their adult lives, despite markedly different backgrounds.

With vivid detail and fluid storytelling, Peniel E.

Joseph sheds light on the complex intellectual and strategic dynamics beneath the publicly fractious relationship between Martin and Malcolm.

This is a strikingly revisionist biography that not only redefines these two men but also the movement and era they came to define.

Don't miss out on this enchanting and thought-provoking read!
