“Passionate, disturbing, and well-researched.”

Booklist

On April 4 1968,Martin Luther King was in Memphis supporting a worker’s strike. By nightfall, army snipers were in position, military officers were on a nearby roof with cameras, and Loyd 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 Dr. King has conducted a thirty- year investigation into his assassination. In 1999, Loyd Jowers and other co-conspirators were brought to trail 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.

“Within the first chapter, An Act Of State presents enough circumstantial evidence to raise questions about Ray’s involvement as the sole assassin.”

Washington Post

“Pepper has gathered an impressive array of testimony and evidence that, even to determined skeptics, throws a major doubt over the state’s case against James Earl Ray”

Kirkus

“No-one has done more than Dr. William F. Pepper to keep alive the quest for truth concerning the violent death of Martin Luther King.”

Ramsey Clark, US Attorney General, 1967-69

At the height of the Cold War, JFK risked committing the greatest crime in human history: starting a nuclear war. Horrified by the specter of nuclear annihilation, Kennedy gradually turned away from his long-held Cold Warrior beliefs and toward a policy of lasting peace. But to the military and intelligence agencies in the United States, who were committed to winning the Cold War at any cost, Kennedy’s change of heart was a direct threat to their power and influence. Once the dark “Unspeakable” forces recognized that Kennedy’s interests were in direct opposition to their own, they tagged him as a dangerous traitor, plotted his assassination, and orchestrated the subsequent cover-up.

Douglass takes readers into the Oval Office during the tense days of the Cuban Missile Crisis, along on the strange journey of Lee Harvey Oswald and his shadowy handlers, and to the winding road in Dallas where an ambush awaited the President’s motorcade. As Douglass convincingly documents, at every step along the way these forces of the Unspeakable were present, moving people like pawns on a chessboard to promote a dangerous and deadly agenda.
