An Act of State: The Execution of Martin Luther King 

On April 4 1968, Martin Luther King was in Memphis supporting a workers’ strike. By nightfall, army snipers were in position, military officers were on a nearby roof with cameras, and Lloyd Jowers had been paid to remove the gun after the fatal shot was fired. When the dust had settled, King had been hit and a clean-up operation was set in motion-James Earl Ray was framed, the crime scene was destroyed, and witnesses were killed. William Pepper, attorney and friend of King, has conducted a thirty-year investigation into his assassination. In 1999, Loyd Jowers and other co-conspirators were brought to trial in a civil action suit on behalf of the King family. Seventy witnesses set out the details of a conspiracy that involved J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI, Richard Helms and the CIA, the military, Memphis police, and organized crime. The jury took an hour to find for the King family. In An Act of State, you finally have the truth before you-how the US government shut down a movement for social change by stopping its leader dead in his tracks.

I was born in 1958 and have lived through JFK's, RFK's and MLK's assassinations. I have read dozens of books on the JFK case and came across some podcasts and this book regarding the MLK killing. Others have reviewed the book in detail and have spelled out much of the results. I am here to say that if you really want to know what goes on in the dark rooms of power and government, read this. MLK was an enemy of the state and had to be taken out. The network of surveillance, payoffs, recruitment and diversion are all interwoven and spelled out.BUY NOW!

I think this is an extremely important book for everyone to read. I think that even if you end up not believing the authors point of view, it is still really important to consider the possibilities, especially in relation to other events that have occurred in this country since Martin Luther King's death.

This book seeks to provide actual evidence where possible, and corroborating testimony where possible, rather than just theories and "maybes". Most people in this country will not have heard this additional information. Most people in this country will not have known that there was a civil trial. Of course, most people in this country don't even know who was accused of killing King.

I disagree with some of the authors historical perspective on the swapping of religious power for economic over the ears of history, but I am no scholar, so that will just have to remain my opinion.

This book is much more than a "conspiracy theory" text. It should be regarded as historically important information that should be provided to all citizens. GET YOUR COPY ON AMAZON

This book is a real eye opener and I am so thankful for William Pepper writing it. Confirmed information read in other books about the other executions done around that time. Read again about some of the same people who were involved with the Kennedy murders and their tie in with the mafia. What a sicking time that was to grow up in, but grow up I did. Well written and lots of time and interest and energy went into the uncovering of this book, by the author and it shows through when I read it. This was a book that needed writing. Some times when a lot of time has passed one is able to better understand and to see more clearly the situation and people involved in an a bygone era. Fell that we have learned more about our own country and government and am nowhere as naive about American government as I used to be. Still believe in the Constitution it is a shame more of our politicians do not.
