CINCSTRIKE. ~ On April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stepped out onto a motel balcony and into his killer's line of fire. One shot ended Dr. King's life and the dream he had for "a new birth of freedom," and began a massive cover~up that has withstood a quarter~century of scrutiny. Here, for the first time, Dr. William F. Pepper tears away the veil of subterfuge that has hidden the truth of King's death, to prove James Earl Ray's innocence and to reveal the cabal of government leaders and organized crime figures that masterminded the assassination of one of the most influential leaders of our age. From 1967 to 1968, William Pepper was an associate of Dr. King and executive director of the independent political coalition that hoped to put King forward as a third party presidential candidate in 1968. After the murder he walked away from political activity. Then, in 1977, Rev. Ralph Abernathy asked Pepper to interview James Earl Ray. Initially skeptical, Pepper became convinced that Ray was innocent of the crime. He came to believe that, as Ray had always claimed, he had been manipulated by a man named Raul and was the victim of a set up. But who was ultimately behind the set up and why? The intertwined injustices~to King's memory and unfinished work, and Ray's freedom~compelled Pepper to devote much of the next eighteen years of his life to finding answers to these questions. The story of Pepper's single~minded pursuit of justice is fully as fascinating and unnerving as the revelations he offers. His investigation took him from the corridors of the Capitol to the backroads of rural Tennessee and the streets of South Memphis, from New York's majestic Riverside Church to Orlando's steamy ghettos, New Orleans' French Quarter and Houston's docks. It snared him in an intricate web of official obfuscation on the local, state and national level, as he unearthed facts and documents deep within government files and archives that directly contradicted the government's verdict in the case, and encountered witness after witness silenced by their fear or their own vested interests. Pepper overcame all these obstacles and more to set forth a new, detailed and profoundly unsettling picture of America in the 1960s, of a society racked by racial conflict, of powerful men whose paranoia moved them to view King~one of the country's greatest champions of peaceful change~as a Communist bent on inciting violent revolution. As a true~life detective story and as a historical document, William Pepper's story is unprecedented. DR. WILLIAM F. PEPPER is James Earl Ray's attorney. He is a Barrister in England, a U. S. Attorney and an Associate of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. He practices international, human rights and constitutional law from London, has represented governments and heads of state, and appeared as an expert on internatio.
