NB: I've categorised this as Fiction as it's one of that breed of books based on supposedly true events, but a fictionalized account. I know when I got mine (after watching the TV series) I was under the impression it was non-fiction. Like Schindler's Ark/ List it is usually sold from the fiction section in UK bookshops. Alex Haley described it as 'faction'... (this comment is from another edition of this book)
