An American Death:
The True Story of the Assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
by Gerold Frank Garden City, NY: Doubleday & Company, 1972. An uncorrected proof copy of an objective investigation into the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-April 4, 1968) by American author and ghostwriter Gerold Frank (1907-1998). Frank raises all the right questions about who actually performed the murder: Was it a hired assassin hired by White Supremists? Someone within King's own organization who disagreed with his non-violent methods? A lone racist fanatic? An agent of a foreign power? Someone with a personal grudge? And most importantly, could an ordinary person shoot a well-guarded public figure in the midst of his friends, then walk away and virtually disappear? Extremely well researched; how Frank deals with these questions is both unique and explosive. Only a handful of comb-bound proofs of a particular book are made by the publisher - they are very rare. Bluish-green softback, plastic comb-bound, with black titles to front. Long quarto: size is 6" by 11". 338 pages. FREE SHIPPING to USA. PLEASE VIEW FOR MORE GREAT FIRST EDITION BOOKS THANKS! |
