mohammed ali is like figuring out a parlor game. here's just so many different facets and to me very interesting. >> questions? any other? [inaudible] >> so when -- when mohamed switch today more orthodox islam that would embrace -- would that have been a transition for mohammed ali and was he tempted to join -- [inaudible] >> you mentioned that mohammed ali had separate views before he joined the nation of islam so when elija mohamed's son, wallaced. mohamed decided to make the nation in a direction of orthodox islam, why did mohammed ali choose to go with him as oppose to going with lewis? >> i don't think he had any problems going that direction. in many ways he had always lived in an integrated world. he is first sponsoring group were white, his trainer throughout his career was white. he had many white friends. and so i think it was actually more comfortable. and in some ways, he was moving the direction that malcolm had started to move when malcolm was assassinated. so no, there was never any reservations that i was able to asc

if you lived through the 1960s at 1970s, mohammed ali was your champion. in the ring he was your champion. what is even rarer, outside of the ring he was my champion. so i thought wow. i would like to write a book about that. johnny and i started to work on it and the more we worked on it the more we decided what is really interesting is how casias marsalis clay became mohammed ali. what went into that? the more we looked at it the more we realized it was malcolm x. cassius clay was almost inhabiting the mind of malcolm x. we decided that is an interesting story. a short period of time, we could look at it fully and deal with all the sources we could dig up on it. it is a moment that changed american history. i think from that period, the first half of the 1960s, the three great black leaders, martin luther king, malcolm x, and casias marsalis clay. >> you can watch this and other programs online on booktv.org. >> here's a look at some others recently featured on booktv's afterwards with our weekly author interview program. peter marks remember bob ben mos

so the political leaders, mohamed ali, founder of packets and argue till the of the way muslims could be safe after the british left is if they had a state of their room where they were majority, where they ran the government. you know, that was at the very top level. what happened as political leaders come as you say, you have to be very careful how you talk about these, what you say. they would paint pictures for followers of the terrible things that were going to happen if they didn't get their own state. not only would she be forced to traverse come her daughters would be kidnapped in your grandfathers would be killed and so on. this filters down from the top level to the political leadership in new delhi. once you get down to the ground level, the message becomes very simple to do becomes kill or be killed. a year before partition by some terrible right broke out in calcutta. it is still unclear who started the, but something around 10, 15,000 people were killed over the span of four days. this gave indians of all stripes of vision of what would happen is if they didn't defend th

think a more honorable thing would be for a soldier to have not fought in the war, something like mohammed aliid when he did not fight, that was more honorable to me and i think it was a huge mistake. host: can i ask how old you are? caller: i am 20. host: what do you think the war means for your generation in america? weler: it is something that as a lot of people -- we don't give a lineal credit for, we look this stuff up, it is important for us to study our history, and i think those conflicts -- they speak volumes about a lot of the things that go on today, those narratives saying that we go in we fight these wars, defending our freedom, but realistically, that is not what is going on. we are fighting for other people , alter your motives. -- all cheerier -- all ultieror motives. host: what do you think, ed? caller: i think the worst thing you could say to a vietnam veteran is that we lost that war. i don't think that any veteran who served in vietnam felt like we lost that war. we did what our country asked us to do and we followed our obligation, and we did not lose any battles. i person
