Walter Reuther was wounded by a shotgun blast in 1948. No one was ever convicted of the attack, and the FBI refused to investigate. Reuther's enemies were successful in assassinating him in 1970 in a sabotaged plane. The FBI was responsible for an investigation but never conducted one.

This partially declassified FBI memo falsely identifies Reuther as a communist just months before his assassination. Researchers recently learned that the redaction "referred to another government agency" was made by the CIA. The FBI has refused to declassify this.

Walter Reuther was the most progressive and effective labor leader of his era, an ally of the Kennedys and MLK. This book raises the most serious questions that his final plane flight was not an accident, but an act of sabotage. James DiEugenio, writer JFK Revisited, us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Walter Reuther on the AFL-CIO in 1967, said, “ What is wrong with the American labor Movement, is it has no soul. It has wealth. It has power. It has no soul.” How much has changed?

On 5/9/70 under rainy night time conditions Walter Reuther's plane was inexplicable diverted to a runway without runway end identifying lights. This was a death sentence as it forced the pilot to rely on an altimeter made for the military reading 250 ft too high due to 7 defects.
