"An outstanding work, In the Name of Elijah Muhammad provides an in-depth analysis of the most recent changes in leadership and structure of the Nation of Islam. Gardell's theological/ideological discussion is brilliant and insightful, while the chapter on the FBI's counterintelligence program on the Nation of Islam is a stroke of genius. Gardell's research is comprehensive, well documented, and powerful."--Clifton E. Marsh, author of From Black Muslims to Muslims
