author of a definitive biography of Malcolm X, which was based on
interviews done with the Black leader in "Playboy" magazine, Alex Haley
(1921-1992) created a sensation -- and single-handedly launched a new
interest in genealogy with his book, Roots. The saga, which traced
his African roots, was first excerpted in "Reader's Digest" before publication
in book form in 1976. The story, which was televised as a successful
miniseries in 1977, resulted in a number of awards for Haley, including the
National Book Award, a special Pulitzer Prize and the NAACP's
Spingarn Medal as well as several honorary doctor of letters degrees for
his research, which spanned 12 years. Torn at upper left edge. Ink stamps
on verso. Fine condition.
