Product Description
Here is the myth-shattering expose which reveals the truth behind the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Dramatic new evidence confirming the innocence of James Earl Ray and identifying the actual killers of Martin Luther King, Jr". -- Executive Intelligence Review
Shocking and controversial revelations from James Earl Ray's attorney
On April 4th, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stepped out onto the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, and into his killer's line of fire. One shot ended Dr. King's life and forever changed the course of American history -- setting into motion a massive cover-up that has withstood a quarter-century of scrutiny. Now, after 18 years of intensive investigation, William F. Pepper tears away the veil of subterfuge that has hidden the truth of King's death -- proving the innocence of convicted assassin James Earl Ray and revealing the evil conspiracy behind the murder of our nation's greatest civil rights leader.

William Pepper has over a period of thirty years conducted one of the most exhaustive, detailed and revealing investigations into the assassination of MLK. It is not based on speculation but is grounded in painstaking details which can and are provedto be correct time after time. It is unfortunate that by writing this book William Pepper, who had noothing to gain was attacked by so many people who had everything to lose Surely it should tell his detractors something that he a former friend of Dr King became James Earl Reys lawyer. If that is not enough then he also convinced the harshest of all possible critics, the King family.

What an incredibly researched book! The detail that Pepper goes into is amazing considering that this event took place 30 years ago. He has painstakingly pieced together the smallest details to form a cohesive and compelling argument that no reasonable openminded person could possibly ignore. The facts that he gives in this book are straightforward, easily verifiable and hard to contradict. For example he uses FBI reports that show that the sight on the gun was out and reveals that the policeman who brought in the states chief witness against Ray was so drunk he was passed out when he arrived. The best book on the case.

This book is a must read for anyone either interested in the murder of one of our best leaders in this century, or as an incredible murder mystery.The Military aspects remain conjecture, and this is where Pepper has caught the most media heat.This book at least the first half is excellent in detailing James Earl Ray's legal battles to reverse his plea from guilty to not guilty. I guarantee their is so many shennanigans pulled that you will not believe it.Percy Foreman Ray's 2nd Lawyer who got him to plead guilty was also an Attorney for Jack Ruby, Gen. Walker, and the Hunt Family. Pepper is especially strong in shooting down the St. Louis Racist theory, which was also the conspiracy theory for the House Select Committee and the new book by Gerald Posner Killing The Dream.
The average person after finishing this book I'm convinced will believe there is more to the Assassination than what they have been reading in their OP-ED pg.'s. There is alot more here than wild theorizing. A MUST READ.
