This dual biography of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King upends longstanding preconceptions to transform our understanding of the twentieth century's most iconic African American leaders.To most Americans, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. represent contrasting ideals: self-defense vs. nonviolence, black power vs. civil rights, the sword vs. the shield. The struggle for black freedom is wrought with the same contrasts. While nonviolent direct action is remembered as an unassailable part of American democracy, the movement's militancy is either vilified or erased outright. In The Sword and the Shield, Peniel E. Joseph upends these misconceptions and reveals a nuanced portrait of two men who, despite markedly different backgrounds, inspired and pushed each other throughout their adult lives. This is a strikingly revisionist biography, not only of Malcolm and Martin, but also of the movement and era they came to define.

At this time of writing, The Mobi The Sword and the Shield: The Revolutionary Lives of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. has garnered 8 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Mobi is Good TO READ!

This book juxtaposes MLK with Malcolm X and in doing so brings more clarity to the effectiveness of both by virtue of their almost symbiotic existence.I am one who has grown to admire how MLK maintained his commitment to peaceful direct action protests throughout his all too short life.I have also been curious about Malcolm X who made several serious transformations through his all too short life. As a white person, I have always been leery of Malcolm X as he is too often presented as an advocate of violence among races as a way to make progress.This book helped clarify for me that all is not as it seems. The implication is that MLK would not have been as effective with non-violence had there not been Malcolm X articulately legitimizing the likelihood that violence would be the only way to break the yoke of racism in our country.On the other side of the coin, it is unlikely Malcolm X would have made his final transformation without the example of MLK.The impact of both men is best exemplified in their attendance at the Senate hearings and brief encounter for the Civil Rights Act. Just having them both there likely kept the Senators focused. MLK's presence helped focus them that they either pass the bill and hope to avoid violence. Meanwhile, Malcolm X' presence helped them keep it real in the case that no bill passed.Reading this book during the tensions brought about by the police murder of George Floyd makes this book even more interesting. While MLK arguably got more done in his life with his approach, Malcolm X was the more prophetic as to whether or not passing civil rights legislation would mean the end of racism and related discontent.
