Answer 1

Alexander Murray Palmer Haley (August 11, 1921–February 10, 1992) was an American writer. He is best known as the author of Roots: The Saga of an American Family, and of The Autobiography of Malcolm X, the latter of which he wrote in collaboration with Malcolm X.

Haley has been accused of fictionalizing true stories in both his book Roots and The Autobiography Of Malcolm X. Malcolm X's family and members of The Nation of Islam accused Haley of changing selected parts of his story.

In addition, the veracity of those aspects of Roots which Haley claimed to be true has also been challenged.Although Haley acknowledged the novel was primarily a work of fiction,

Then look it up on the internet.  I'm not doing that work for you.   Sorry to be so blunt, but looking it up is what anyone else here would do, then probably just copy and paste the answer.  You not looking it up yourself is just plain laziness.  Not using proper grammar and spelling is also laziness.

Answer 3

He did indeed write a book and it was called Roots. You should read it - it was a fascinating book. And he traced his own roots back to the village where his protagnoist came from.
