As for me, I loved the book. This was a story that needed to be told and tell it did Jeffrey Haas.When the discussion of assassinations comes up the main names mentioned are JFK, MLK, and Malcolm X. Sadly, there were many more, better disguised assassinations that happened during the 60's that lots of people have never heard of. Fred Hampton was one of them. Although Fred Hampton's murder caused outrage amongst some in Chicago, it didn't register as largely on the national scale.Not only did this story need to be told, it needed to be told by someone connected to it who could provide information not readily available. The author, Jeffrey Haas, was the main attorney going after the State Attorney, Hanrahan and the Chicago PD after the fateful morning of December 4, 1969. When he failed to get an indictment he then proceeded to present a civil rights suit against the city of Chicago, Cook County and the FBI. He doggedly pursued to reveal the slaying and the subsequent cover up for 13 years. While reading this book I only paused to catch my breath or to calm down from the fury and anger I had towards the FBI, the Chicago PD, the State Attorney, Judge Perry and the lap dog attorneys representing the perpetrators. This book will elicit strong emotions if you have any kind of passion for justice.Jeffery Haas tells this story in the simplest and truest form. This book wouldn't be confused with an Edgar Allen Poe piece known for literary genius but it was compelling none the less. There is little biographical information about Fred Hampton as he was killed at the young age of 21. I would say that there is more biographical information about Jeffrey Haas than Fred Hampton yet it doesn't detract from the story at all.I couldn't help but notice parallels between this story and that of Geronimo Pratt. Both were Black Panther Party leaders, both wronged, FBI involvement, local law enforcement involvement, massive cover up, pit bull like Jewish lawyers dedicating years to right the wrong. If anyone has read "Last Man Standing" then the similarities are eery. In fact, Geronimo Pratt's and Fred Hampton's families are from Louisiana as well.I'm so glad this book was written and I'm equally pleased that I got a chance to read it. Whether you liked the Black Panther Party or not, whether you agreed with their rhetoric or not, murder is murder and then to lie and cover it up is almost just as abhorrent. This book was an excellent account, it would have been so nice to see what Fred Hampton could have become. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exact, meticulous, absorbing, horrific, and revelatory *by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2022* Although by its very nature not life-transforming or paradigm-shifting [except for those who would never consider reading it] this book recounts one of the most spectacular acts of domestic terrorism perpetrated by our governing authorities. FBI director J Edgar Hoover regarded Hampton as a potential "black messiah" and wanted him dead. Hampton was an awesome leader, organizer, and intellectual of the American left, who might well have changed the course of history and replaced the [also murdered] Martin Luther King and Malcolm X as an international leader. Hoover conspired with numerous local "law enforcement" agencies to murder him in a very public fashion whose significance would be lost on no one. They could have killed him in a quiet and deniable fashion, as they did so many others; their agent who drugged him into near oblivion could have inconspicuously poisoned him. They made so many outlandish errors that their role and motives would become obvious, and inform every potential dissident of the likely fate of radicals. They reveled in their nature as ongoing terrorist organizations, such as the later Taliban and ISIS; they wanted all of us to know. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If he had the backing of the Government - he could have done so much more good for the people! *by A***� on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2021* (I am still reading this - but can update on more later).Besides reading this book,Read “Killing The Mob” by Bill O’ReillyWatch “Judas and the Black Messiah”J. Edgar Hoover was shady. I have read several FBI profiling books and his name has come up on how others did not like working for him or when he “ran” the FBI. He wanted credit for everything. He would use the same methods to “get” the criminals, as they would (ie: straight out murder, not arresting. Hence why these criminals would kill officers in the first place.) He was rumored to be gay, yet would prosecute homosexuals for the same reason.{The others I mentioned above give the same info on him. This is not my opinion. It has been backed by facts.}The reason I am mentioning this - because he wanted Fred Hampton dead. He would stop at nothing. I am sure The Black Panthers have done some wrong, but yet the right(s) they did - were defaced by law enforcement (because Hoover allowed it).I have read about The Black Panthers about 20 years ago when I had to process an in-depth paper for school.I am glad I am finding more on the subject because I like to educate myself on the past. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/11165390-the-assassination-of-fred-hampton-how-the-fbi-and-chicago](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/11165390-the-assassination-of-fred-hampton-how-the-fbi-and-chicago) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-01*
