Killing the Dream: James Earl Ray and the Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.

Book • 1998
In this exhaustive and thorough examination, Gerald Posner tracks James Earl Ray's movements before and after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. and persuasively debunks various conspiracy theories.

The book provides a detailed profile of Ray, a career criminal from a dysfunctional family, and reconstructs the events leading up to and following the assassination.

Posner's research includes new interviews, confidential files, and previously undisclosed evidence, concluding that Ray planned and executed the assassination alone.

The book also explores the aftermath, including Ray's flight across four countries and his eventual capture and conviction.
