Reviews

"Dr. Pepper has waged a 37-year struggle for truth and justice on behalf of another scapegoat, James Earl Ray--the alleged assassin of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.--and the King family. This book is the culmination of that effort and reveals the truth about that assassination."--Sirhan Sirhan
