"Explosive-too powerful to be ignored"

Or so says the Chicago Sun-Times. I found it quite an entertaining read 10 years ago, entertaining enough to remember most of the plot. I don't really find it believable but it is a lot of fun. Apparently by reading the reviews in the book I would have been in the minority (LOL) when the book was published. I would/have recommended it to my friends.

Louis Farrakhan--the Previous Generation

In this story, William Gray, a contemporary of Malcolm X comes to a decision that ironically mirrors that of the Klan--integration doesn't work. He reasons that the black man will only get justice in his own nation. So he sets out to capture Manhattan as a hostage to the land he really wants--New Jersey. But in this book, Gray shares the limelight with a black Marine general he manipulates into heading up a military operation. It's a bit dated in the way everything boils down to politics and activism, but contemporary readers who are used to the "me" orientation across the entire spectrum of modern American society will still find a good story here.
