For anyone interested in the events of 1968, then you simply must read "The cold six thousand" by james ellroy. The timeframe in this very long book is the day of JFK assasination right up to the assasination of Bobby Kennedy.

It is a work of part fact part fiction - it contains all the major protagonists of the time - MLK, howard hughes, sam giancana, jack ruby, james earl ray.

You might struggle to get to grips with the staccato writing style, but those who persevere are rewarded with a fantastic read.

the greatest book I have read ? quite possibly.

It's part of the Storyville strand of documentaries - look in the BBC Four section of iPlayer for last night.
