Gerold Frank (August 2, 1907 – September 17, 1998) was an American author and ghostwriter. He wrote several celebrity memoirs and was considered a pioneer of the "as told to" form of (auto)biography. His two best-known books, however, are The Boston Strangler (1966), which was adapted as the 1968 movie starring Tony Curtis and Henry Fonda, and An American Death (1972), about the assassination of Martin Luther King. Frank was a war correspondent in the Middle East during World War II, and he collaborated with Bartley Crum on a book about the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry on Palestine, Behind the Silken Curtain: a Personal Account of Anglo-American Diplomacy in Palestine and the Middle East (Simon & Schuster, 1947). The true story of the assassination of Dr Martin Luther King Jr. And the greatest manhunt of our time. Who really killed Dr Martin Luther King Jr.? Was it the hired assassin of a group of Southern white supremacists. Was it someone within Kings own organization, who disagreed with his non-violent principles and wanted a more militant leader. Was it a racist fanatic. The agent of a foreign power. Was it perhaps a man with a purely personal grudge. Was it possible that one man alone, without any outside help at all, could both conceive and execute such a plan. Could an ordinary person shoot down a well-guarded public figure in the midst of his friends. Could he then walk away and virtually disappear? Condition: Very good / Fair.
