LONG ISLAND, N.Y., June 19, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- It has been more than twenty-five years since Dr. Walter Rodney, a prominent historian and politician of Guyana, died in a mysterious explosion. While the public believes his death was a planned assassination, authors William Gregory Smith and Anne R. Wagner dispute such findings and together began their quest to prove that Rodney was not assassinated. This is the message behind their compelling new book, Assassination Cry of a Failed Revolution: The Truth About Dr. Walter Rodney's Death, released by Xlibris.
Assassination Cry of a Failed Revolution featuring the gripping account of William Gregory Smith (aka Cyril Johnson) is indicative of twenty-five years of deception, abuse of power and character assassination by the Working People Alliance (WPA). The authors depict a full detailed account of the association between Dr. Walter Rodney and William Gregory Smith. In its quest to uncover the truth about Rodney's death, the book exposes with great detail the lies, political agenda, cover-ups and many attempts on his life by the WPA.
Assassination Cry of a Failed Revolution is living proof that accepted history is not always accurate as William and Anne expose the deliberate distortion of Guyana's history. With these striking details about the WPA's and its beliefs, as well as the allegations against William Gregory Smith and Dr. Walter Rodney's tragic death, this book is bound to spark a new wave of political debates and crime investigation among its readers. Assassination Cry of a Failed Revolution: The Truth About Dr.Walter Rodney's Death is now available for purchasing online at Xlibris.com and at your nearest bookstore.
