One of the more ridiculous books I've ever taken time to read. It began as a study; one of my students wanted to discuss what he had read in it. I obliged him by reading it, but couldn't stop watching the hypocrisy of the prologue proclaiming the NON-racism while the rest of the book tore the white race to pieces.

By the time I read about the "Mother Plane" I felt like I was mixing Scientology with Black Supremacy. The idea that Black scientists dropped bombs from a plane forty miles up to create mountains at the time of the creation was the sort of levity I was hoping for; sadly Muhammad actually believes this.

This book is a necessity to possess due to the fact that the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad lays out the history and destiny of America that is unfolding right before our eyes. This book was/is a wakeup call to America, a saving grace if you will, to correct its ills and atone for her sins. Otherwise, she will experience a most terrible fall and destruction. Subjects include the decline of the dollar, degeneracy of the American culture, educational system etc. The basis of the Messenger's teachings is Biblical and Quranic scripture. He ends the book by describing how America will be destroyed. This book is a must have by a prophetic voice, The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

A dark tome that pretends to prophesy an end to the United States, presenting that country as the focus of all evil; the domain of satan and sin, the modern Babylon. The argument is given an appropriate support from the writings of the Islamic Q'uran holy book, in view of the history of Muhammad, its founder, as a raider of caravans and killer of assorted Jews and infidels. The entire book is studded with exaggerations, baseless assumptions and misperceptions of reality, not to mention numerous actual falsehoods.
I have given this book two stars, one because I believe that persons of education should read it and recognize the potential problems this type of writers and their followers can cause, and a second to call attention to its siren song of hatred and fear.
The sorry aspect of the book is that this black god-shouter will (and does) have a following and an audience for his ignorant rant, much as an earlier white man, Jim Jones did.

I gave this book five stars because it deserves five stars for its telling
of the "Fall of America." However I must state that this message "The Fall of America" and the rest of the messages in the book is written for Black people. It is written for Black people as the Bible is written to the Jews as all other religions are written to and for the people that the specific message is sent to. If one can read this book for the facts and not get caught up in the message to Black people then this book is a must read for everyone interested in the future of failed execution of justice for all. It also is excellent in letting people know what God expects people to do for themselves. As you can see this is written from a white person's view. If one is Black then by all means you need to see just how much God has come to you and done for you. If one is white then you need to know just how much God does love the Black people.

If one is used to the Bible, then I just personally would recommend the "Book of Enoch or 1 Enoch by R.H. Charles, D. Litt., D.D." (all one and the same book). This book is not written to any race or people. This will put balance to all the books written to a specific people.
