Summary: Balanced examination of a controversial subject
Comment: I haven't ever given a lot of thought to James Earl Ray as Martin Luther King's lone assassin, despite the press that has been given to it over the past few months. I assumed, like many others, that the truth about his death was locked up in some government vault somewhere. Only in the future, would we know the truth.
I saw Mr. Posner on one of the early morning talk shows, and found him to be one of the most articulate and straightforward guests I had seen in a while, who offered some thought provoking views on the current conspiracy theories relating to King's death. I was so intrigued by this short interview that I purchased the book. I was not disappointed. I soon learned that the truth about the King Assassination was complex, but available to those who had an open mind.
Posner's clear, efficient writing style, and straight ahead delivery of the facts, as he has discovered them, were facinating. What I appreciated most about his work was the balanced and objective manner in which the facts in this case were presented. In an era when conspiracy theories abound, it is refreshing to read something where rational thought, common sense and exemplary research are found on every page.
I think Posner has done our country a valuable service by setting the record straight on such an important social issue.
Not only has this book contributed to clarifying history, once started, I couldn't set it down.

Summary: Questions Answered: LIFE IS GOOD
Comment: You might wonder if the author of "Case Closed" deemed it merely obligatory to debunk yet another batch of conspiracy theories, this time surrounding the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. Not so. Some of the same conspiratorial characters who cascaded in and out of the murky John F. Kennedy tale have transitioned into the Martin Luther King tragedy without so much as a blink of an eye. Gerald Posner takes them on once again with no less fervor and no less a flair for exhaustive research than he did in "Case Closed," the fruits of which are compellingly told to a fact-hungry America. If you're tired of tabloidisms about the Monica Lewinsky/Ken Starr mess, jump right into Gerald Posner's highly readable "Killing the Dream." I loved it.
The footnotes themselves are a richly textured book within a book, sprinkles of wisdom delivered with the sledgehammer of truth.
In "Killing the Dream" we find that James Earl Ray is not only a petty criminal, he's a jerk (parks his pale yellow Mustang sideways taking up two spaces so as not to expose his precious getaway car to bumps and bruises; a liar ("He was the most reluctant, sarcastic, overbearing liar I ever saw," said Alton police chief Harold Riggins in 1954); and a bigot.
And -- you will meet the real Raul in Posner's disturbing account of intrusion on an innocent by sarcastic, overbearing conspiracy buffs.
This exceptional book has put the Martin Luther King assassination in proper perspective, elevating it at the same time to its rightful place in history.

Summary: Silences the conspiracy theorists!
Comment: This excellent book quickly and effortlessly silences the conspiracy theorists who believe that James Earl Ray was not involved in the King assassination. While conceding that Ray may have been motivated by outstanding bountys on King's head, the author does a great job of proving, without a doubt, that James Earl Ray and Ray alone fired the shots that killed Martin Luther King, Jr. This excellent book is recommended for all people open-minded enough to accept the truth about this political murder.
