The true story of one conscientious objector’s journey through the Federal Prison system in 1966-67 after refusing military induction. Arriving at his ninth prison, America’s most maximum security, he’s stripped of his name becoming only a number, 9307. Here he’s told under extremely unusual circumstances that James Earl Ray will kill Martin Luther King. About 6 ½ months later, this occurred. Out on parole, he immediately calls the F.B.I. with information about co-conspirators. They could care less and have him off the phone in about 45 seconds.
By chance in 1970, he goes to a remote Western Pacific Island, Ponape, and ends up staying the next 40 years. Painting a scene from this island in prison, seen on this book cover, he never imagined he’d ever go there. Haunted by his connection to Martin Luther King, he agrees to help a German Businessman with land problems fueled by racism. It escalates over 20 years, cost 4 lives and the Author barely survives several attempts on his. All the while, he’s occasionally contacting the F.B.I and Attorney Generals Office in Tennessee, trying to generate a response. Finally he decided to write this book. Find out who some of these co-conspirators are.
