Thirty years after his death on a Memphis motel balcony, this work re-examines the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. Using interviews and previously undisclosed evidence, the author uncovers the errors of previous investigations and resolves speculation about whether the FBI, CIA or the Mafia was involved in the murder of one of the twentieth century's most luminous icons. From King's rousing ""mountaintop"" speech the night before he was killed, to the shock in the courtroom when Ray suddenly pled guilty and the truth seemed lost forever, Posner re-creates the memorable dramas of the case, and produces a fascinating portrait of this career criminal from one of the most forsaken parts of poor, white America. Ray's recent death in prison prompted speculation that he had taken his secrets to the grave, but Killing the Dream ends those fears, laying to rest over three decades of conjecture and distortion about what really happened on that April morning in 1968.

Based on interviews with the children of leading Nazi figures, including Hess, Mengele, Goering, Frank and Doenitz, this book discusses how they judge their fathers' roles and cope with a criminal legacy. Many of them grew up in the privileged atmosphere of Hitler's inner circle and remember the Third Reich through a child's eyes. The book reveals some of their innermost feelings, ranging from shame and condemnation to strident defence and revisionism. The author also wrote "Mengele", "War Lords of Crime" and "The Bio-Assassins".

Based on exclusive and unrestricted access to more than 5,000 pages of personal writings and family photos, this definitive biography of German physician and SS-Hauptsturmfuhrer Josef Mengele (1911-1979) probes the personality and motivations of Auschwitz's "Angel of Death." From May 1943 through January 1945, Mengele selected who would be gassed immediately, who would be worked to death, and who would serve as involuntary guinea pigs for his spurious and ghastly human experiments (twins were Mengele's particular obsession). With authority and insight, Mengele examines the entire life of the world's most infamous doctor.

In its final report, the 9/11 Commission famously called the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia “a problematic ally in combating Islamic extremism.” To Gerald Posner, the bestselling author of Why America Slept: The Failure to Prevent 9/11, this is a gross understatement. In his new book, Secrets of the Kingdom, Posner exposes the undeniable truth about U.S.-Saudi relations–and how the Saudis’ influence on American business and politics poses a grave threat to our security. The result of an intensive two-year investigation, Secrets of the Kingdom penetrates the innermost layers of the shielded House of Saud and presents indisputable evidence of complicity and deceit at the highest levels–evidence that the 9/11 Commission, either deliberately or negligently, failed to consider. Using bank records and other previously undisclosed information, Posner unearths many disturbing truths and shattering revelations about the ties that bind the Saudi and U.S. governments, including • how countless failures in U.S. intelligence and law enforcement gave extraordinary preferential treatment to prominent Saudis living in the United States, including members of the bin Laden family, in the days after 9/11 • a likely close connection between a powerful member of the House of Saud and Abu Zubeydah, the highest-ranking al-Qaeda operative captured so far by the United States • how the Saudi government has turned a blind eye to the role Saudi charities–including many controlled or supported by Kingdom officials– have played in bankrolling al-Qaeda and Islamic terror groups • the never-before-revealed Saudi and U.S. emergency plans in the event of a national crisis in the Kingdom, plans that could affect the security of the United States and the entire Middle East Secrets of the Kingdom is an explosive study that will have a profound impact on both U.S. policy and Americans’ perception of their government and its extensive ties to a foreign power. Posner uncovers a disturbing picture of how two nations, despite their differing agendas, have become inextricably entwined.
