The Ugly Secrets of Private Roy (Paperback)

"Fifty years have passed since the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and seventy-five percent of the American people still don't believe a single gunman was responsible for his death," says author Roy. "This year marks the forty eighth anniversary of the assassination of Malcolm X, and the FBI continues to withhold information of the role it played in his death." Riveting, dramatic, and based on the facts, his novel sheds new light on those who orchestrated the killings of both JFK and Malcolm X as it explores the synergy between both events and raises many heated questions: Who was really responsible for the execution of President John F. Kennedy? Why exactly did the French Government deny Malcolm X entry into France on February 9, 1965? Was the AIDS virus developed as a lethal weapon? Why are the great Buffalo Soldiers, members of the previously all black 24th Infantry Regiment, still waiting for their record of the performance in Korea to be cleared? Guaranteed to agitate, inspire, and enlighten historians, conspiracy theorists, college students, urbanites, and both Americans and Europeans, this creditable story is told from a personal perspective by an author convinced that ugly anti-Americans are still at work in this country. Read about: The Original Black Panthers The Ultimate Weapon The Bitch of Buchenwald Ozark Red Lipstick Blood on the Risers Cries of a Wounded Soul The American Praetorian Guard A distinctive blend of intrigue, controversy, love, and war, The Ugly Secrets of Private Roy is gritty, raw, and honest in its analysis of the most significant events in American history. Based upon a true story, it is written in the memory of Sergeant Lonzo and the millions of American soldiers of African slave decent whose unheralded sacrifices for the United States are buried on battlefields and in cemeteries spread around the globe. From the horrors of the holocaust in WWII, the clash in Korea, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam conflict, the Cold War in Europe and the weaponization of the AIDS virus, emerges the story of Private Edward Roy, a.k.a. "The Milkman." Private Roy is a young brother from Harlem who reluctantly joins the US Army in 1962 in search of his true American Identity. Providing a unique personal perspective on the events that occurred between 1962 and 1965, The Ugly Secrets of Private Roy chronicles the three-year army career of a young soldier as he embarks on his journey. Born in the Jim Crow south and raised on the harsh streets of Harlem, NY, Edward Roy was not only mentored by a black hero who fought with General Patton in WWII, but also by Malcolm X, who fought against America's evil impulses to consume its black youth. In 1962, this American of African slave decent finds himself torn between writing the next chapter of America's black military history and joining the black resistance movement. Reluctantly, he joins the US Army, and he is cast into the middle of the most tumultuous events in American history, which totally alters both his psyche and personality.
