review 1: The FBI's finest hour, with credit also going to RM Canadian police and Scotland Yard. Finding and capturing MLK's killer seemed impossible. I appreciated the blunt assessment of characters like J Edgar Hoover, George Wallace, and civil rights leaders. The author cuts them no slack. Sides is very good at taking you there and it's never boring. Excellent vocabulary choices throughout also put this work a cut above. Warning: James Earl Ray is hard to stomach.
review 2: This is the story of James Earl Ray, the assassin of Martin Luther King, Jr., although we don’t hear his true name until close to the end of the book since he used so many aliases. While most of the book focuses on Ray, there is a good bit about Dr. King and his movements in the mont... morehs before his death. This is a well-written and quite interesting book with lots of information that was completely new to me. Listened to audio. less
