Product Information
Killing King is not simply the story of a murder; it is the investigation and documentation of a conspiracy to murder Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that began in 1964, and evolved month by month and year by year. The secrecy and convoluted motives of the plotters and the network that bound them together obscured that conspiracy from those investigating Martin Luther King Jr.'s death. Only one man was charged and convicted of the crime. The murder of Dr. King was not the act of a single man, certainly not one whose motive was never made clear, even in his conviction. The murder was the culmination of a conspiracy involving many characters, many strands, and many twists. James Earl Ray, the man convicted of King's murder, remains the only person historically associated with the crime. In Killing King, we will show that Ray's travels, plans, and contacts from the time of his escape from prison in 1967 to his ultimate appearance in Memphis, in a boardinghouse across from the Lorraine Motel where King and his aides were staying, are an important part of the conspiracy story. But Ray was neither a rabid racist nor an ideological fanatic. His entire criminal career was motivated solely by a desire to make money. And while he asserted, behind prison bars, his absolute innocence for decades until his death in 1997, his protests do not hold up to scrutiny. We will demonstrate that Ray was only one of the people involved and his role is only one strand in the web of the conspiracy. Building on research from the authors' two previous works-The Awful Grace of God and Americas Secret Jihad-we will show how two other men, one a criminal on parole, the other a right-wing terrorist, connect the diverse strands of the conspiracy.

Reviews
Praise for Killing King "A fascinating and disturbing look at complexities underlying a shameful historical epoch." -- Kirkus Reviews "In this intricately woven, impressively researched, and painstakingly delineated analysis, investigative researchers Wexler and Hancock place King's assassination and its investigation by a sometimes woefully inept FBI within the racial and cultural mores of the time. Published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Dr. King's death, this elaborately documented examination of one of the defining crimes of the twentieth century brings new light to a dark period in the nation's history." -- Booklist Praise for The Awful Grace of God "A timely study." -- Kirkus Reviews "A step in the [right] direction of a better understanding of a national tragedy." -- Booklist Praise for America's Secret Jihad "[Wexler] convincingly makes the case that America has been victimized by significant domestic terrorism for over half a century... He links atrocities familiar (the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995) and less so (attacks on synagogues in the South during the 1950s) to paint a disturbing picture with practical implications for the War on Terror... Wexler's deliberate and critical review of the evidence is also likely to prompt reconsideration of the possibility of wider conspiracies behind Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination and the Atlanta child murders of 1979-1981." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "An impassioned investigative report tracing a deeply religious theme to the spate of civil rights violence from the 1950s until today. With urgency and zeal... Wexler carefully differentiates the religiously motivated extremists from the merely white supremacists... [A] compelling study." -- Kirkus Reviews "[T]his book is a fascinating attempt to see beyond conventional narratives and reveal an overlooked facet of religious terrorism." -- Library Journal "Stuart Wexler has done a wonderful service to those ignorant of the fact that Islamic fundamentalism does not own the copyright on terrorism. By shining light on religious terrorism in the U.S., Wexler shows us that human nature is capable of the most vile acts when ignorance and extremism is allowed to flourish." --Tigre Hill, director of The Shame of a City "Stuart Wexler's brilliant new book is a major contribution to recent American history. On one level he provides the first coherent overview of a dangerous white anti-Semitic insurrectionary movement in the last half of the 1900s. He shows for example how this movement's sizable bounty offer is probably a key to the assassination of Martin Luther King. Just as importantly, Wexler analyzes the FBI's dilemmas in breaking this movement, between acting too soon (and failing to assemble a winnable case) and acting too late (allowing a crime to occur). A similar dilemma arises from the FBI's reliance on informants, protection of whom has encouraged a distorted prosecution of movement terrorists as loners. Wexler's analysis throws important new light on the Birmingham Church bombing of 1963, the King assassination, and the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995. Both the research in this book (much of it his own) and Wexler's insightful interpretations set a new standard for future scholars in this important field." --Peter Dale Scott, author of The American Deep State: Wall Street, Big Oil, and the Attack on U.S. Democracy, Praise for Killing King "This book provides an eye-opening, well-researched new perspective on King's murder." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A fascinating and disturbing look at complexities underlying a shameful historical epoch." -- Kirkus Reviews "In this intricately woven, impressively researched, and painstakingly delineated analysis, investigative researchers Wexler and Hancock place King's assassination and its investigation by a sometimes woefully inept FBI within the racial and cultural mores of the time.
