The Awful Grace of God offers the most comprehensive and up-to-date study of the King assassination and presents a roadmap for future investigation. The Awful Grace of God chronicles a multi-year effort to kill Martin Luther King Jr. by a group of the nation's most violent right-wing extremists. Impeccably researched and thoroughly documented, this examines figures like Sam Bowers, head of the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan of Mississippi, responsible for more than three hundred separate acts of violence in Mississippi alone; J.B. Stoner, who ran an organization that the California attorney general said was 'more active and dangerous than any other ultra-right organization;' and Reverend Wesley Swift, a religious demagogue who inspired two generations of violent extremists.
