In this small book is the radical idea that our federal government has from the 1960's on conducted a dangerous and deadly mission against Tupac Shakur and many other minority leaders. Author John Potash divides the book into 190 pages of discursive argument and nearly 100 pages with 900 references to support all his work. This may be because if his thesis is currect or government has committed deadly crimes against the public that are prosecutorial. Tupac Shakur, one of the early rappers, was gunned down at the age of twenty-five after at least 5 attempts at his young life.

John Potash after two decades of revolutionary research comes up with an FBI organization called COINTELPRO involving several state local,and of course Federal Government police state officials who are named and interviewed in the deaths of Bobby Seale, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Robert F. Kennedy, Fred Hampton and many more minority activists. In the 1970's, the so-called "Gansta Rappers", were chased down one by one and attacked, killed or imprisioned by the federal agents of COINTELPRO.

By the end of this small book you are numb to the atrocities of the government and that they "Got Away With Murder". You would think that George W. Bush, who is included in this book, was just following older precedents of spying and torture that already has existed for forty years. John Potash names the men who he thinks killed Tupac Shakur and arrested many of his family. Remember that he includes so many interviews, Freedom of Information, FBI, CIA and other information agencies files, scholarly and underground articles, many publications. I can only conclude that I'm surprised nothing has been printed in the newspapers of his controversial thesis, and no real action has come about. Maybe our new President Barack Obama will try
to bring all these people to justice.

This is an awesome and clear account of what "is" taking place in the black community. I have always suspected this, but this book brings names and places to light.

This shows how the FBI can infiltrate almost any organization. From MLK,Malcolm X,The Black Panthers and Tupac Shakur. Most everyday Americans have no clue what the government does to people of color to keep them down. Buy this book now! I highly salute Mr. Potash for this wonderful book. You will never look at things the same again.

This book is either all the way wrong or all the way right! this information is crazy and it just let's you know there is more than meets the eye and the government has their hands in things you would not want to believe.

Bought this book for my husband. He loved it and recommends it to anyone who is interested in the black era of the 60's and 70's

I picked it up....couldn't sit it down. Whenever I did, my wife picked it up. Had to take it back from her in order to keep reading....enough said, you know what to do now.

This is a great book that outlines how the CIA, FBI and the BOSS unit of the LAPD, always aimed to kill tupac and his influencial Black Panther Mother, step father and other leaders. It also discusses the killings of other famous Black Leaders. the chapter on MARTIN LUTHER KING is very well written with evidence provided by MLK's own lawyer, William Pepper. CIA personel testimonials provide the evidence that MLK's death (as well as potentially Malcolm X's) was orchestrated by the CIA.
GET THIS BOOK!

People should listen to the debate I had with this author on YouTube...

Here is the book summed up in a single paragraph.

The most powerful government in the annals of history isn't able to kill someone like Tupac after 5 tries. Even when Tupac was in prison, of all places, the U.S. federal government still can't seem to have him killed. So they pick the busy streets of Vegas to "finally" get the job done after shooting Tupac in places that are often times non-fatal just hours after Tupac coincidently picked a fight with a member of the Crips, which was a rival gang to the gang which many prominent members of Death Row belonged to. Why would the government would killed Tupac? Because he did something that no other person ever does: gave a few talks and joined a few political organizations which Tupac cared so much about nobody even knew about it.

The "proof" in this book amounts to zero, and is more along the lines of a book supposedly written by Tupac about how he faked his death and went into hiding.
