[Ruth Dean · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book has explained many of the questions surrounding the assassinations of four great Americans by our government. With all we know about these murders why has nothing been done? I fear that we are living in a world where justice is not being applied equally.

Learned a lot about MLK and Malcolm X, as well as JFK's clash with Ben Gurion and Israel over the Dimona reactor. I also learned much about Malcolm's travels in Africa, his meetings with leaders of the Nonaligned movement, like Kwame Nkrumah, and his push near the end of his life to bring the human rights violations of black people in America to the United Nations General Assembly. A good book for introductory material to all four men's journeys toward class consciousness and open defiance of the capitalist class, and their tragic murders by the state.

No new information. Very disappointed. It was blatantly obvious when some pages were half citations instead of new information. Why read this book when Imcan read the prior publications (which I already have).

[Sam Alves · Rating 5 out of 5]

A remarkable achievement. Ominous and hopeful.
