If you read no other book on the assassination of MLK read this one.
I cannot believe there are no reviews for this book. Today is not a good day for me to review any of Phil's wonderful books, he just died. But that said, if you like a really well-written "who done it?" read this. I read it several years ago when it was first published and read many parts of it aloud to my husband Erick. It's that good. I could not put it down, even in the car (No, I ...

Another fine job by the LAPD
An exceptional work, easily the best book on the subject available, and comprehensively researched and detailed. Instead of the usual diatribe by conspiracy buffs relying on half truths, I found it rock solid. It's hard to imagine any impartial, intelligent, logical reader concluding anything but that there was more than one gunman in the kitchen, and that the LAPD engaged in an almost wild and ...

Vince Palamara, Secret Service expert, deceived us
As a proud former member of the United States Secret Service, I believe that this product is worth your time and money...and I also feel it is my perogative to inform everyone here that, while Vince Palamara is to be commended for his notable research acumen and getting many of my colleagues-and myself- to speak to him, he has also done so at the expense of many of their feelings, beliefs, and ...

??????
This book exposes the faults and failures of the government's case against James Earl Ray as glaringly as television exposed the faults in the state's case against O.J. Whether or not, and it seems plausible he did not, James Earl Ray shot Martin Luther King, Jr. the state would have had no chance of convicting him in court. (Perhaps that is why his lawyers were co-erced into pleading the ...

Not so enigmatic anymore...
This was the first book I read about the Secret Service, and I was very pleased with it. It is true that for some this may read like a dry textbook, but I was so interested in the material that it didn't matter. If you're looking for an entertaining read, like an action novel or something, you need to look elsewhere. You can read random chapters and still get what you need out of it if the dry ...

A Must Read
I literally tore through this book. I couldn't put it down. Fascinating and frustrating with regards to the failure of the justice system.

An Expose of the Cover-Up of the Conspiracy
Philip H. Melanson is a professor of political science and a specialist in the study of political violence. This book is an authoritative expose of brazen official manipulation of the legal process used to cover-up the conspiracy to kill RFK. The numerous glaring and unanswered questions in this case, with the simplistic official solution, caused the author to research for additional unexamined ...
The Martin Luther King Assassination

Ivy Books
, 1992
"After following Melanson's meticulous pursuit of seemingly every lead in the case there can be little doubt in the reader's mind that neither of the two official versions of what happened could have been the whole truth." - Publisher's Weekly - The Reverend Martin Luther King was not merely targeted by white supremacists or the gun of James Earl Ray. Agents of the U.S. Government plotted to silence this civil rights leader's opposition to ...

Get Melanson's 2005 volume "The Secret Service" instead
This work is o.k., especially for 1984, but he listened to some of my criticisms AND included my work in his latest book, essentially an updated and expanded version of this tome. If you are a collector, get this...if not, get Melanson's "The Secret Service: The Hidden History of an Enigmatic Agency" instead. Vince Palamara Secret Service expert, History Channel, author of 2 books, in over 32 ...
