Sources for the chapter: I'm drawing heavily on an excellent article by James W. Douglass (“The Murder and Martyrdom of Malcolm X”), in a book called
The Assassinations
that I gave a cover endorsement for when it came out in 2003. Douglass summarizes the investigations recounted in several other books:
The Judas Factor,
by Karl Evanzz (1992),
Conspiracys: Unravelling the Assassination of Malcolm X
, by Baba Zak A. Kondo (1993), and the much earlier book by Louis E. Lomax,
To Kill a Black Man
(1968). Lomax was working on a documentary film alleging that the American intelligence community—specifically the FBI and CIA—had a hand in Malcolm X's assassination, when he died after the brakes on his car suddenly failed while he was driving to the studio on July 31, 1970.
