A Must Read For Any JFK Researcher

This book by Sherry Fiester is an absolute classic and a must read for anyone interested in the Kennedy assassination from the person with just casual interest to the most detailed researcher. Her meticulous explanation of the forensics involved in the kill shot and the trajectory cone and back spatter brings the reader to the only possible conclusion, that the kill shot came from the South side front in Dealey Plaza, not the Grassy Knoll. Sherry's book goes into much more and I highly reccomend it.

Amazing! Helen O'Donnell is very good writer. She keeps you captivated through the whole story. I think that her dad would definitely would be proud of this book. This story gave me a new view of JFK from a political perspective. Now I am hungry for more,  going to start on her book that she wrote on her father and Robert Kennedy. I like how the book was not Just about Kennedy you get an birds eye view of those Kennedy had surrounding him. If your looking to read another JFK book I highly recommend this one.

I have researched the JFK assassination for over thirty years. I got this book as a gift and did not have high hopes that it would add anything of note. I was wrong.
The author is not a conspiracy theorist but he pulls no punches in criticizing the Warren Commission, the FBI, and the CIA for both shoddy work (the commission) or criminal destruction of evidence and lying under oath (FBI and CIA).
His background on the younger, hard-working members of the commission is fascinating and insightful. It was vindicating to know that many of those involved in the investigation have the same doubts and frustrations as we do.
The author even strongly criticized "saints" like Bobby Kennedy, Jackie Kennedy and Earl Warren for actions which blocked a thorough investigation of the assassination.  You don't see that very often.
I have a much clearer understanding of how the process worked (or didn't work). The commission investigators were not evil people - although many evil ones blocked their efforts.  A very important work of research.

My wife and I were so impressed with Ian Shircore's book on JFK that we ordered one for key clients and each of our company's board members for Christmas. The response was excellent so we plan to gift more of the books throughout the year.

The inserted notes and and documents provided us a wonderfully involved, tactile experience that we do not get from digital books.

Excellent investigation, excellent presentation and an excellent book.

This book by Peter Janney the son of cold war era CIA operative Wistar Janney gives as much insight into the JFK assasination as readers are ever likely to get. Make no mistake this is a subject that has fostered it's own cottage industry of conspiraccy books most of which raise more questions than they give answers. In this intriguing tome the author ties the October 12th 1964 murder of Mary Pinchot Meyer in Washington D.C. to the CIA (and subsequently JFK). She was having a very intense affair with JFK right up to his death and was the ex-wife of high level CIA agent Cord Meyer. After the publication of the Warren Commission Report on the assasination of JFK, she was threatening to blow the whistle on what really happened to expose the truth about our own government's involvement. For that she was shot at point blank range while walking through a park in D.C. The murder was then pinned on an apparently innocent black man (Ray Crump later found innocent in court) who just happened to be in the area at the wrong time. With painstaking detail and interviews with surviving participants in the murders and cover-up the author paints a very damaging picture of CIA men like James Jesus Angleton, Allen Dulles, Cord Meyer and even his own father mentioned above. He gives the WHO's HOW's and WHY's of JFK's assasination at the hands of the CIA which is largely based around JFK's intention to pull us out of Vietnam before it ever really got going and to make peace with Russia effectively ending the "cold war." Mary Meyer his mistress shared this vision along with sex, marijuana and apparently LSD. While the very thought that the CIA set Oswald up as the fall guy to cover up their own agenda along with purported shots from the "grassy knoll" is disturbing it is also the harsh truth finally coming to light almost fifty years after the events.... To borrow a quote from the bible and ironically used in CIA headquarters at Langley, Virginia: "And you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free." This book is an absolute MUST READ for anyone interested in the subject of JFK's assasination and the conspiracies & theories that have surrounded it!

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.

Joseph McBride began researching JFK back in 1963, and he hasn't stopped investigating since.  His overall grasp of all things relating to JFK is impressive, yet should not dissuade from welcoming newcomers to the subject read it.  The killing of Officer J.D. Tippit on 11/22/63 sealed any hope Lee Harvey Oswald had of a fair play from authorities in Dallas. The evidence presented seems to exonerate Oswald from any guilt in this crime.  The Tippit killing has been one area of the case that has actually gone under-investigated, that is until now.  Joseph McBride gives us the benefit of his extensive research into Tippit, and makes the facts clear.  The author separates facts from fiction, and solid evidence from rumor.  The interview he sought out with the gather of Officer Tippit alone makes the book indispensable.  This is highly recommended, and stands out among the titles that report on this subject so essential in understanding our history.  -Thank you, Professor McBride.

With the publication of this book, James W. Douglass emerges as the most competent analyst of the assassination of JFK.  Future generations of historians will trace the history of JFK's assassination to this paradigmatic book.  Douglass's abilities to survey and penetrate the conundrums swirling around the assassination and the coverup seem nothing short of remarkable.  If you read only one book on the assassination of JFK - this should be the one.

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.

Mr. Biles has written an incredibly well thought-out book that I would recommend to anyone studying the Kennedy assassination.  His extensive research into the case is evident from the very beginning.  The book sorts fact from fiction and brings to light a compelling side to the Kennedy assassination that you have never seen before.  A definite must-read!

I came away with a deep appreciation for what Lance Moore has done here. The author explains why its not simply a entertaining mystery or an academic curiosity to seek the truth in the JFK coverup. If your on the fence and doubting that its a conspiracy then reading this book will cure that.
Just finished JFK: The Dead Witnesses and I think that compliments this book well.

It is my pleasure to review this book as another of Vince Palamara's great work on the secret service. As I sit here at the Cyril Wecht JFK Conference Passing the Torch, David Talbot, author of Brothers, looked for expert advice on the secret service during his presentation by saying, "Is Vince Palamara here for expert advice on the JFK Secret Service?" I can't imagine any better review if Mr. Palamara's new book. A great work!

Ed Haslam has produced an extremely well researched volume. The book is easy reading (large print) well illustrated and loaded with pertinent information. The author is well focused on his topic and dosen't wander along the path. I initially found the book as a sidetrack to my JFK assasination research. If you never quite understood how humans became infected with viruses from monkeys, (I never quite did.) this book provides all the answers. The death of Dr. Mary Sherman remains a mystery, but Mr Haslam lays all the groundwork for a solid hypothesis. And I do mean solid. Haslam also provides an excellent character assessment of Dr. Alton Ocshner.
A frequent traveler to New Orleans, I find the ariel maps particularly usefull to my research and pleasure. Lafayette Square is a great place to stay if you're in town. Quiet, Safe, and only six blocks from the Quarter. Most of the places referred to in the book are very close to Lafayette. I shiver as I walk it's streets. Oswald, Bannister, Ferrie, Shaw, Ocshner, and wonderful beautiful DR. Mary Sherman all walked the same streets. DR Mary's Monkey will put you right there!

This book is a treasure:  One of the many things from Jacqueline Kennedy's brief stay in the White House for which we must be very grateful!  Highly recommended for anyone interested in the history of this country, for all age groups!

I could not stop reading this book. From JFK's upbringing, PT109, their polotical lives together,his marriage to Jackie, the love of their children, the tragedy of the assasination and Jackie's life thereafter. I highly recommend Killing Kennedy. Will read again!

Being born and raised in Massachusetts and also working within local politics, I have read many, many books on the Kennedy family. Talbot's "Brothers" is without question my favorite. The insight that he provides into the inner workers of JFK's White House incredibly detailed and provides an entirely fresh perspective for which some of the most important decisions in our nation's history were made. The premise of the book doesn't necessarily center around RFK and JFK. Talbot's emphasis is on the deep, unsurpassed loyalty within the Kennedy inner-circle. As in any presidential administration, there are innumerable amount of tensions, conflicts and political posturing. Talbot dives right into these many (often overlooked) variables within the context of the "brothers" that quite possibly saved the world for unfathomable disaster.

If you're a fan of politics or a fan of history, you must read this.
