On April 4, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was shot and killed in Memphis, Tennessee. Although James Earl Ray was arrested and charged with the crime in a prearranged and rehearsed hearing conducted without cross-examination or challenge by defense, he later insisted he was a pawn in a far-reaching conspiracy. Coinciding with the 25th anniversary, Murder in Memphis provides explosive information and invites readers to decide for themselves what really happened. Photographs.

Murder in Memphis,
By Jennifer R Faulkner (San Antonio, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Murder in Memphis (Paperback)
As it is a particular field of interest to me, I have probably read more about the trilogy of 1960's assassinations than most. Most conspiracy theories, however, involve a certain suspension of disbelief, and the reader, as investigator, must decide what they believe or not. Not so in Mark Lane and Dick Gregory's Murder in Memphis; without pointedly trying to be, their simple stating of the facts is the single most damning, disturbing, and convincing indictment of the FBI and others involved that I have ever read. Brilliantly written, the book is also meticulously researched; every source used is clearly identified and the reader gets the impression they could independently verify every statement made with relative ease. A non-stop page-turner from beginning to end; it is a must read for anyone who enjoys non-fiction.

Not as good as orders to kill,
By A Customer
This review is from: Murder in Memphis (Paperback)
This is a fairly good book but nothing like Orders to Kill by William Pepper which is much more detailed and conclusive in it's arguments. Thinking about it I guess these guys probably re-released to cash in on the time, effort and money that Pepper spent on the the case. Still it is much better than Posner so...
