AUDIE MURPHY UNDERCOVER

Description: AUDIE MURPHY WAS AN UNDERCOVER AGENT FOR THE FBI AND THE LOS ANGELES DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S ORGANIZED CRIME DIVISION FOR 22 YEARS. HE WAS KILLED WHILE ON ASSIGNMENT INVESTIGATING THE CARLOS MARCELLO ORGANIZED CRIME FAMILY. Terry Murphy, Audie's son, and I have spent almost 30 years interviewing people who knew Audie and seeking out official documents, collecting newspaper and magazine articles about Audie Murphy. In 1996 we formed the AUDIE MURPHY RESEARCH FOUNDATION (WWW.AUDIEMURPHY.COM), to facilitate our research. This book focuses on Audie Murphy’s law enforcement work. It was a huge part of his life and is something very few people know about. Because of this work, his reputation suffered. Audie’s boss, Clayton Anderson, Chief of the LADA Organized Crime Division said, “Audie paid a heavy price in damage to his personal reputation because the only way he could be effective was to create the impression of comradeship with the type of criminals we sent him in to investigate. Unfortunately, the negative image he purposely cultivated and projected in order to gain the trust of various criminals he was investigating has been picked up and perpetuated by some who fancy themselves historians, but whose work has been superficial at best.” Worse yet, some writers, without access to the facts, reported the little they picked up in a way that made Audie look like a man with emotional problems who was prone to walk on the wrong side of the law. Nothing could be farther from the truth. This book finally reveals the truth about Audie Murphy.
