The FBI’s war against Tupac Shakur – Book

Description

Contents

After twelve years of intensive research, the American author John Potash has developed an explosive theory on the events before and after the murder of Tupac Shakur.
Potash argues that Tupac was murdered deliberately and for political motives.
He details how the FBI and the US government had been conspiring to crush emerging activist groups by systematically eliminating their leaders since the early days of the African-American civil rights movement.
From icons like Martin Luther King and Malcolm X to Fred Hampton and the Black Panther Party, the federal authorities’ methods were brutal and effective.
But Potash shows that these tactics were not limited to the ’60s and ’70s: They continued to be used in the ’80s and ’90s against revolutionary groups and influential black musicians who served as voices of resistance.
This uncompromising analysis, translated into German for the first time by Jan Euler, not only offers frightening insights into the workings of the authorities, but also supplements this with valuable background information on Tupac Shakur’s life and work.
It shows him as an influential, revolutionary figure whose fight against an oppressive system brought him into the sights of the powerful.
A work that presents Tupac as a symbol of resistance against state repression far beyond his role as a musician. Details: 336 pages By John Potash (Author), Jan Euler (Translator) Hardcover, Paperback
