This biography of Louis Farrakhan begins with a meditation on the Black experience in America that helped transform the young Eugene Walcott into Louis Farrakhan, followed by a description of his upbringing and the circumstances that brought him to power as a leader of the Nation of Islam. The author examines Farrakhan's devotion to his religion, his virulent attacks on whites and Jews, and his long term goals. She argues that Farrakhan is a religious zealot who sees himself in a long tradition of black saviors, and who often correctly senses pervasive white hostility in the US.
