By Manning Marable, Viking Penguin, New York, N.Y. 594 pages, $30

Before his assassination at age 39 in February 1965, Malcolm X was the most provocative human rights activist of his generation. In the years since his death, his legend has continued to grow, aided by a posthumous autobiography that has been read by millions, but which told only a part of his compelling story. Now, in the twilight of his own life, the late Manning Marable has produced a magisterial biography that fills in much but not all of the rest of the canvas.
