In 1962, boxing authors and lovers considered Cassius Clay an obnoxious self-promoter, and few believed that he'd end up being the heavyweight champion of the world. But Malcolm X, the most well-known minister in the Nation of Islam - a sect many white People in the usa considered a hate cult - found the in Clay, not just for boxing greatness but as a means of spreading the Nation's message. Both became fast friends, keeping their connections secret from the press for concern with jeopardizing Clay's job. Clay began living a double life - a patriotic "good Negro" in public and a radical reformer behind the moments. Soon, however, their a friendly relationship would sour, with disastrous and far-reaching effects. Based on previously untapped resources, from Malcolm's personal papers to FBI details, Bloodstream Brothers is the first reserve to offer an in-depth portrait of this intricate relationship. Acclaimed historians Randy Roberts and Johnny Smith reconstruct the worlds that formed Malcolm and Clay, from the boxing arenas and mosques to postwar NY and civil rights-era Miami.
