An Act of State: The Execution of Martin Luther King

William Pepper
Edition: pb
ISBN: 9781859846957
Publisher: Verso
Release Date: 2008-04-29
ITEM OVERVIEW
An Act of State lays out the extraordinary facts of the King story — of the huge groundswell of optimism engendered by his charismatic radicalism, of how plans for his execution were laid at the very heart of government and the military, of the disinformation and media cover-ups that followed every attempt to search out the truth. As shocking as it is tragic, An Act of State remains the most compelling and authoritative account of how King's challenge to the US establishment led inexorably to his murder.

This is the first paperback edition of the definitive account of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., published on the 40th anniversary of his death.
