For forty years, the plea bargain of James Earl Ray for the
assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. has been the subject of
intense inquiry and debate among historians and researchers. Was
Ray--a small-town petty thief--really the criminal mastermind the
Shelby County, Tennessee, prosecutors said he was? Or was he a pawn
in a broader conspiracy that involved an entity much more powerful:
the U.S. government?
In reality, evidence reveals James Earl Ray was inducted into the
CIA as a young man in the U.S. Army and subjected to mind control
experimentation--in the same era when psychological drugs are known
to have been administered by the armed services to unknowing
recruits in an attempt to control human behavior. Later, in the two
years prior to the King assassination, Ray was under the influence
of several government-connected hypnotists seemingly working to
make him an obedient patsy.
Ray's case never went to trial, and many, including the King
family, concluded that there had been a conspiracy, yet a
government investigation in 2000 revealed that there was no
evidence to suggest it.
In Truth At Last, Ray's eldest brother John Larry Ray and Martin
Luther King Jr. historian Lyndon Barsten, offer incontrovertible
evidence that James Earl Ray could not have assassinated Dr. King.
John Larry Ray reveals the true secret history of his infamous
brother, who for a lifetime claimed, "The Army put me on the road
to ruin." Barsten documents John Larry Ray's assertions by drawing
on scores of personal interviews and more than 4,000 Freedom of
Information Act requests--including Ray's Army unit records.
Together, they offer a startling new look at Ray's life, his
encounters with theFeds and the Mob, and the crime that shook the
world.
