An Act of State: The Execution of Martin Luther King

This definitive account of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s assassination compiles extensive testimony and evidence to provide a fresh outlook on the conspiracy that significantly impacted American history. The assassination took place on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, where King was actively supporting a workers' strike. As the evening progressed, a clandestine operation unfolded involving army snipers, military surveillance, and Loyd Jowers, a restaurant owner, who was implicated in the concealment of the murder weapon. Following the assassination, James Earl Ray faced wrongful framing, while the crime scene was deliberately compromised, and multiple witnesses were silenced.
