Editorial Review:
Since the sixties, musicians have been outspoken and powerful proponents for social change, making them a threat to those eager to maintain the status quo. Typically fond of drugs, they also make easy targets for investigation and exploitation. In this comprehensive look at more than a dozen suspect rock star deaths, conspiracy researcher Alex Constantine delves into the secrets that the record industry, organized crime, and even the FBI and CIA don't want uncovered. Unearthing recent - and successful - assassination plots against Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. as well as new information on the tragic deaths of Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, and John Lennon, this long-overdue report offers disturbing evidence that there may be more behind these deaths than accident, psychosis, and indulgence.

The Covert War Against Rock: What You Don't Know About the Deaths of Jim Morrison, Tupac Shakur, Michael Hutchence, Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Phil Ochs, ... Tosh, John Lennon, and The Notorious B.I.G. Reviews:
What the CIA is doing right now against political activists
2008-04-17 - One of the reviewers said there are other rock star deaths Alex Constantine didn't mention. True. Constantine's ¨Anti-Fascist research Bin¨ web site shows deaths of a young journalist(Duncan) and her boyfriend. If you follow this story to Bill Knott's blog, a professor from Emerson College writes that Duncan's death was not a suicide, and says, ¨They killed Theresa Duncan for trying to expose them, and they'll kill me for the same reason.¨ A professor worried about being killed! I would not believe all this if it weren't for the fact I am group stalked as described by private investigator David Lawson. To read excerpts from his book, go to www.raven1.net The CIA has a program to marry off all us liberals and political activists. They found out how to get conservatives to marry us. I had no boyfriend for 15 years, but now I can't keep these men away from me.

Good but not great read. Interesting none the less.
2006-11-20 - The Covert War Against Rock explores the unanswered questions and disinformation surrounding the deaths of several rock stars. This was good, but not great. Lots of interesting stuff in this but I think in most of these cases Constantine tries way too hard to connect the dots and show government and/or organized crime complicity in some of these deaths. Just because the FBI had a file on them or they associated with gangsters in the music business doesn't mean they were murdered. That being said, although there is no definitive proof, I lean heavily toward there being government or criminal involvement in the deaths of John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix and Brian Jones. All you people that think Jim Morrison faked his death should just forget about it. I think he just got into his girlfriends heroin stash and overdosed.

Alex is insane
2005-10-03 - What a terrible book. To even entertain the theory that Bob Marley died b/c the CIA INJECTED melanoma skin cancer into him is insane. It can not be done, so to push that conspiracy is plain irresponsible.

Bad excuse for a book. The author is a joke.

Dopey people on dope.
2005-01-05 - You'll get no congratulations here on your book: This is just another paranoid attempt to slam the U.S. government, for the deaths of some dopey rockers on dope. Wake up" there should be no big mystery as to why these people died. They all lived lives of excess filled with drugs and alcohol, a bunch of fallen stars who burned out way before their time, except for lennon and topac who were shot to death, the others died the way they lived FAST" You see there's no big mystery to their deaths after all, just a few star struck americans who refuse to see their rock and roll idols, for what they really were.

Get An Editor!
2004-05-01 - With a writing style vaguely reminescent of Francis E. Deck, Alex Constantine has produced what is surely one of the most badly written books in publication today. I actually found myself howling with laughter at the sheer inelegance of it. There are many interesting allegations in this book, but most of the footnotes reference other books rather than actual source documents. Get an editor, Alex!!!!
