The Man Who Killed Kennedy - Roger Stone
341766
I've been researching JFK on and off since the assassination 50 yrs. ago.  What I found interesting is that very often the 'Why'  is far more intriguing than 'Who'.  Roger Stone's book is just such a read.  A revealing look into just how down & dirty LBJ and Texas politics really were.  And we name national monuments after him??  We may as well do the same for Charles Manson.

Book Review: JFK Has Been Shot by Dr Charles A. Crenshaw with Jens Hansen and Gary Shaw

This is a revised edition of a book that was published as the JFK Conspiracy in 1992. Dr Crenshaw as one of the doctors (surgeons/physicians) who examined the dead body of President JF Kennedy after he was shot at Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas on 23 November 1963.

Dr Crenshaw provides a fascinating account of what really happened when JFK was brought into Trauma Room 1 of Parkland Hospital, Dallas. Dr Crenshaw provides evidence that JFK was shot by at least 4 bullets, 2 in the back and 2 in the head and neck. There was at least two snipers. The head and neck wounds of JFK were definitely caused by high projectile bullets which entered the President from the front while the other bullet (s) were from the rear. There was also a bullet which entered Governor Connolly which was previously regarded by the US Government Warren Commission as also passing through the body of JFK and being fired from the Texas Book Depository by Lee Harvey Oswald. This means that at least three shooters were involved. Also there was at least one bullet reported that missed both Connolly and JFK which hit the concrete pavement and some cement fragments apparently hit the face of JFK during the shooting.

Crenshaw clearly shows that the US Government covered up the events surrounding JFKs death, especially the autopsy which should have been undertaken at Parkland Hospital by the doctors there. However, JFKs body was forcefully removed by agents to Air Force One where it was flown to the Bethesda Naval Hospital, Maryland where it was examined and modified by untrained military (naval) doctors there. New replacement photos were taken of the modified wounds of JFK at Bethesda. Apparently his head wound was clogged up with putty and what remained of his scalp, glued over this putty. In addition, his frontal neck wound was made larger, apparently in order to disguise the original wound which showed a neat entrance bullet hole.

Th first time that I viewed the Zapruder film of the assassination, I knew that from the head movements of JFK sitting in the back of the limousine, that he was struck in the head from the front and not from the back by the bullets. It is clear to me from this book that there was a massive conspiracy and cover-up using Secret Service agents, FBI agents, Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby and others. All of this points to LB Johnson as a major conspirator as he displayed strange behavior soon after the death of the President. Dr Crenshaw also received a strange telephone call from Johnson which was unexpected and did not follow normal protocol.

This is a riveting book which is hard to put down. It is fascinating and illustrated with graphic photos, some of which I had never seen before. In this 2013 revised edition, there are informative updates by Jens Henson and Gary Shaw as well as reflections by Dr Cyril Wecht.

This book is an important document which shows that the Warren Commission provided erroneous data and conclusions. Lee Harvey Oswald was definitely a patsy, just as he screamed when he was captured, and maybe his bullets from his ancient Mannlicher-Carcano gun went through the back of JFK without killing him. Ruby definitely killed Oswald to shut him up about the conspiracy and was obviously aware of the conspiracy as well.

A very interesting book which is highly recommended.

"The Assassination Of JFK" is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen related to the JFK assassination. It's full of great footage and dialogue that gives it's impact with it's words. This is a documentary  to listen to closely. I've seen it more than once, there's just so much  information in here! It makes it's case clear and presents facts and an  overwhelming amount of evidence indicating that Kennedy was killed by a  conspiracy. I would rank this by Oliver Stone's masterpiece,  "JFK." This is a great documentary that everyone should watch to  be informed on the workings of power.

I was 12 years old when Kennedy was assassinated and I remember that almost immediately conspiracy theories emerged. Over the next 49 years most of what written about this chapter of American history was colored by supposition and distortion of facts. "Killing Kennedy" clearly lays out the facts in a time line showing the tragic convergence of the lives of John F. Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald. I thoroughly enjoyed reading "Killing Kennedy" and I recommend it to any student of history.

Before reading get some background on Roger Stone so you can put his words into perspective.  I wouldn't take his version of things at face value.

A very compelling read, a real eye-opener. The evidence revealed is astonishing. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is still trying to understand the assassination and the events that led up to this national tragedy.

Both Killing Lincoln and Killng Kennedy are written in a way where you flip back and forth between the killer and the assassinated to understand what's going on in their lives as the plot unfolds.  A lot of interesting facts about the plot to take out several high ranking officials simultaneously which I was not aware of until reading the book.  Paints the depressing aftermath of the miscalculations of John Wilkes Booth.

In a world run by US politics more corrupt than the old Roman Senate, there was one who's "es prit de corps" is right on the truth, Gaeton Fonzi.  About the only thing Fonzi omits is the hate associated with JFK over the plotting to kill Castro with cancer CIA trick that was being run out of Oak Ridge and New Orleans.  The key element to the JFK assassination is Jack Ruby went to school with a key Oak Ridge player in the assassination, and Oak Ridge had/has extensive shady side CIA contacts----all of which came to hate JFK.  The deal was JFK was going to shift to make peace with Cuba and Russia and that was not good for the CIA dirty tricks games, nor for the production of nuclear weapons.  JFK was going to quash both.

There has long been a theory, rejected by many, that "renegade" CIA agents were involved in the assassination of John Kennedy.  The CIA part is correct, but they were not renegades.  They had an agenda, as did many others who expected to make millions off arms sales and/or make their anti-Communist ideology prevail.  Betrayed by traitors with in his own circle, some his own appointees, a massive plot to kill Kennedy took root and ultimately succeeded.  Had he shown the same kind of tenacity and brutality of his enemies, Kennedy might have survived.  Certainly his family had the money to build up a counter-force.  But did he believe a "shadow" government existed made of those who would kill if they had to, even a president?  Likely not.  What normal person would.  The CIA had so infilitrated every aspect of the United States Government and its foreign policy that even J. Edgar Hoover was intimidated, or pretended to be since he did not like the Kennedys either.  James Douglass does a brilliant job of looking at the various levels of evil that carried out the assassination, some perps directly, others indirectly.  Had they not succeeded, there would be no Vietnam memorial in the nation's capital. Well-researched and documented, Douglass' book proves there was not only a conspiracy, but a more complex and widespread one than most of us would have believed.  Anyone interested in the integrity of the American government and its agencies will profit from reading this book.  It is an eye-opener that most will find difficult to absorb.

Great book! Couldn't put it down! Loved learning more about Kennedy and his life. Such a tragic end to such an impressionable person.

Jim Marrs along with Wim Dankbaar who wrote Files On JFK .. have put their selves on the line to bring us this information. What is different from a lot of people who are branded a nutty conspiracy theorist is that CrossFire and Files On JFK have much truth in it. Truth that consists of murders of innocent Americans in a sustained effort to cover up the real facts of JFKs murder and protect the people and agencies involved. When I say that it has much truth in it, I mean just that .. it will reveal to you much about the who did it .. who plotted it .. the why .. and when read CrossFire and combine that with Wim Dankbaar's Files On JFK .. you gain even more. However there is much that will probably never be known. Facts that people who have died have taken to their graves with them. If it was up to me these two books would become required college courses all over the USA. I will tell you this, I believe that there are still entities with in specific areas of government who still exercise control over the media in all its forms, who still exert effort to keep the real truth from coming out. You still see the highest levels of media still touting the lone nut theory and still painting Lee Harvey Oswald as the assassin. After reading Files On JFK that raises a question with me though. What did Lee Harvey Oswald think was up when he was driving James Files around and watching him sight in his rifles a few days before the JFK was due in Dallas. I believe Files when he says they never discussed the issue of JFK being assassinated. And I believe that Oswald never fired a shot and was as oblivious of the events occurring and especially as it would subsequently relate to him at the moment Kennedy was being murdered. But what in the heck was he thinking he was driving files around for and what did he think Files was calibrating high powered rifles and their scopes for? When you look at his actions that were controlled over the course of the preceding months of the assassination that were carefully groomed to make him appear more of a communist, a pro Castro nut. Was he just a very naive individual? We can only speculate.
CrossFire by Jim Marrs and Files on JFK by Wim Dankbaar are must read books for every American in my opinion. I combine them because they compliment each other so totally in bringing more of the truth out of this great American tragedy that subsequently effected the entire world.

This is the first of its kind.
The Tippit killing is the most overlooked portion of the Kennedy assasination puzzle and Myers has worked hard to put together what some might see as definitive proof that Lee  Oswald killed Tippit.
The problem is, that no one other than Tippit and  Oswald, both dead, can explain why Tippit stopped Oswald, if it is was  him.
Myers can not explain the source of the Dallas Police dispatchers  description of a similar person to Oswald, although Warren Commission  supporters will point to Howard Brennan. Without writing a book within this  review, it has been proven by Brennan's own testimony that he did not give  a description until after the time of Oswald's arrest.
Still, this book  brings together a lot of evidence and concentrates solely on the Tippit  angle which is refreshing.
I personally think there are too many  contradictory facts to make an open and shut case here and I would suggest  that any would be reader takes note of Anthony Summers' writing in the  editorial review section above.
I would still buy this book despite the  above because it is the first of its kind.

Assumptions, nothing proven. While I don't believe the Government's version of who killed Kennedy I think the whole truth is still out there.

Bugliosi has still not adequately addressed the question of who Jack Ruby was and what his motivation was for gunning down Oswald. This is precisely where his argument falls to the ground completely. Oswald did not act alone, and Ruby was assigned to get rid of him before he could turn state's witness.

Written by former New Orleans District Attorney, Jim Garrison - the only individual to ever pursue a defendant (Clay Shaw) for their involvement in the Kennedy assassination.  Jim Garrison was played by Kevin Costner in the Oliver Stone movie "JFK".  Although Clay Shaw was ultimately acquitted, many believe that Garrison unearthed some troubling issues concerning the assassination.  This book invites you into the DA's office for an inside look at an investigation that had national attention.  Garrison even appeared on the Johnny Carson Show while the investigation was in progress

Wonderful book!  Just as good as Killing Lincoln!  O'Reilly is not only a good journalist, but also a terrific writer.  Couldn't put it down.  The Kennedy assassination still breaks my heart.  I remember it like it was yesterday.  This book gave great insight into what Lee Harvey Oswald was all about.  I've read many books about the Kennedys, but this one delved into Oswald's psyche like no other book has done.  Being Irish Catholic, my Republican parents switched parties because of Jack Kennedy.  It was devastating watching everything unfold on TV, especially seeing the grief on Jackies's face during the funeral procession.  It's a landmark moment I'll never forget.

He got it right. Oswald was the only shooter in the JFK assassination. There was no conspiracy. Sadly, Oswald also shot and killed Dallas policeman J.D. Tippit about 45 minutes after shooting the President.
