Download Killing the Dream: James Earl Ray and the Assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. AudioBook Free
Inside the three decades since Apr 4, 1968, when Martin Luther Ruler, Jr., was shot to death in Memphis, results of literature and articles have questioned whether Adam Earl Ray, King's killer, acted by itself or was part of a more substantial conspiracy. Now, predicated on explosive new interviews, confidential files, and previously undisclosed data, best-selling publisher Gerald Posner finally resolves the easy truth of the previous great political murder enigma of the 1960s, definitively demonstrating that Ray acted by itself. Beginning with a straightforward narrative of the occurrences before, during, and after the taking, Posner untangles the case's leading puzzles: Was there a mysterious person called Raoul who directed Ray in the entire year leading up to the murder? Were the FBI, the CIA, or an arm of the Mafia involved? Did the armed forces have a covert team of snipers in Memphis on the day King perished? Was Adam Earl Ray a patsy, as the Ruler family has publicly announced? At the heart of this e book can be an in-depth profile of Ray himself, a fascinating profile of any career criminal from one of the most forsaken elements of poor white America. Posner re-creates the memorable dramas of the circumstance: Dr. King's rousing "mountaintop" speech the night before his death; the chilling moments of the assassination; Ray's frantic airfare across four countries as he tried to escape justice; and the distress of the Ruler family's embrace of Ray right before his own death in prison. A riveting search for justice, Eliminating the Fantasy finally thwarts Adam Earl Ray's initiatives to take his secrets to the grave, and proves the identification of King's killer beyond a shadow of a doubt.
