 ____________________________________&nbsp\;<br /><br />&nbsp\;<br /><br 
 />John Williams recounts the life of Michael X\, aka Michael de Freitas\
 , aka Abdul Malik\, who\, as Williams&rsquo\; fascinating biography make
 s clear\, was a more complex figure than the simple monster of popular l
 ore (which is not to say he didn't act in monstrous ways).&nbsp\;<br /><
 br />Tracing his days as a Rachman-era Notting Hill hustler\, to a &rsqu
 o\;60s counter-culture revolutionary\, black power activist\, and his ul
 timate descent into Manson-like madness in Trinidad\, Williams skilfully
  captures the era and the man.&nbsp\;<br /><br />'The life of Black Powe
 r leader Michael X is worth recalling even without its grisly ending...t
 his biography tells a story that covers the great changes in London betw
 een the mid-Fifties and early Seventies.' Nicholas Blincoe\, Telegraph&n
