This dual biography of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King upends longstanding preconceptions to transform our understanding of the 20th 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.

Peniel Joseph gives an excellent overview of the lives, philosophies and civil rights careers of MLK, Jr. and Malcolm X. It was fascinating to learn about them chronologically and to see how they developed in comparison along a timeline. I was also introduced to James Baldwin as a fellow activist, opening my eyes to yet another interesting and important African American I never learned about in school.

Excellent!

Read this book after hearing the author on a podcast. Thoroughly enjoyed the book and the compare and contrast of the two leaders who became The Movement’s pillars. The examination of the end of MLK’s life and his leaning into a more radical and revolutionary vision was expertly detailed.

Voice actor was perfect. It is hard to copy the voices of these leaders but he does a fine job of covering tone and delivery.

Feeling I knew about these men, I didn't expect I to learn. I was wrong, a knew far too little about either!
This audio book opened my eyes, I learned and will be the change I want to see.

An excellent read

I would have to read this book 7 times or more to pick up all the detailed information. The book is crammed with facts, quotes, and exstensively research sited. It is too much to catch it all in an audible version. I did really enjoy the narrator's impersonations of Malcolm X, King, and the Kennedys! So much history and challenge yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Too much information to even process!!

The extensive research into the totality of both men’s lives as well as their evolution as activists is amazing. If you enjoy biographical research and want to dive in deep to both El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., this book allows you to do so.

Outstanding look into two amazing Black men!
