Claude Brown is a black man who made it out of the ghetto, who pulled himself up from Harlem, from the gang wars, the crime, the dope pushing to become a law student at one of America's leading universities. Manchild in the Promise Land is his story. It is one of the most extrodinary autobiographies of our time.
