Product Description

Product Description

Thirty years after his death on a Memphis motel balcony, this work re-examines the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. Using interviews and previously undisclosed evidence, the author uncovers the errors of previous investigations and resolves speculation about whether the FBI, CIA or the Mafia was involved in the murder of one of the twentieth century's most luminous icons. From King's rousing ""mountaintop"" speech the night before he was killed, to the shock in the courtroom when Ray suddenly pled guilty and the truth seemed lost forever, Posner re-creates the memorable dramas of the case, and produces a fascinating portrait of this career criminal from one of the most forsaken parts of poor, white America. Ray's recent death in prison prompted speculation that he had taken his secrets to the grave, but Killing the Dream ends those fears, laying to rest over three decades of conjecture and distortion about what really happened on that April morning in 1968.

5.0 out of 5 stars Common Sense Prevails, 10 Jul 2001
By A Customer
Gerald Posner's research has been unrivalled in this subject.He clearly demonstrates the ridiculous nature of the conspiracy advocates' arguments.Not only has the author put to rest many myths surrounding this tragic tale but he has uncovered much in the case which is fake, including Ray lawyer William Pepper's spurious allegation that the military were involved in the "conspiracy".Posner also demonstrates the disgraceful way Pepper accused an innocent soldier and an innocent civilian of having conspired to murder the civil rights leader.The book is well-written and his arguments are very persuasive.Only readers who are convinced conspiracy advocates will reject his work.A monumental and historical book.
