About this listen

Groundbreaking scientific analysis that breaks the JFK assassination wide open! Did a shot from the "grassy knoll" kill President Kennedy? If so, was Oswald part of a conspiracy or an innocent patsy? Why have scientific experts who examined the evidence failed to put such questions to rest?

In 2001, scientist Dr. Donald Byron Thomas published a peer-reviewed article that revived the debate over the finding by the House Select Committee on Assassinations that there had indeed been a shot from the grassy knoll, caught on a police dictabelt recording. The Washington Post said, "The House Assassinations Committee may well have been right after all." In Hear No Evil, Thomas explains the acoustics evidence in detail, placing it in the context of an analysis of all the scientific evidence in the Kennedy assassination. Revering no sacred cows, he demolishes myths promulgated by both Warren Commission adherents and conspiracy advocates, and presents a novel and compelling reinterpretation of the "single bullet theory." More than a scientific tome, Hear No Evil is a searing indictment of the government's handpicked experts, who failed the public trust to be fair and impartial arbiters of the evidence.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Editor reviews

David Rapkin’s audio talent brings gravitas to this detailed and extremely well-researched tome, Hear No Evil: Scientific Analysis of the Forensic Evidence in the Kennedy Assassination, by Donald Byron Thomas. By carefully analyzing the acoustics evidence in the case, Thomas sheds light on the single-bullet theory and offers a fascinating and complex new take on that fateful day in Dallas. With Rapkin’s clear and dispassionate style, listeners will easily soak in the myriad forensic and scientific analyses that help unlock one of the most important mysteries in American history.

All stars

A truly dispassionate and in my opinion masterful and neutral analysis of all aspects surrounding the actual day of the assassination of JFK. I have listened to everything I can find on the assassination and JFK's life generally on audible and this is one of, and probably the best of the lot. Mr Thomas admirably dissects all aspects of the shooting, from whether Oswald did bring in the rifle on the day, to the dishonesty of the Dallas Police and the many shortcomings of the Warren Commission and lies we have been fed since 1963. Conversely many conspiracy myths are disproved and challenged. It's a fascinating and easy listen, well moderated and read, and I got so much more out of facts I thought I already knew.

Mr Thomas does not come from a conspiracy or lone nut angle and because he presents in depth insight into every aspect of the day, he supports and dismantles accepted arguments, facts and myths on both sides.I was particularly interested in his take on Oswald's involvement. This audible is the difference between a black and white and a colour picture!

Highly recommended.

A must have for the JFK Assassination!

the level of detail is astounding. but is way too deep for a casual listen. would be 5 star across the board except for this detail, which slows the pace.

amazing, but....

I've read a fair few books about the Kennedy Assassination and found this to be one of the best by a long way. It does tend to get very technical in places but, as a previous reviewer said, the summaries at the end of each chapter draw the information together in a concise and cogent way.

One tip, when trying to follow some of the more involved explanations, I found it helped to turn the reading speed down one notch.

Interesting and Well Argued

The book was forensic in its scope and breadth with no stone unturned and from a scientific basis

The narrator has a voice that makes the book a very easy listen on a book that in certain sections is extremely complicated.

Best audio book I have listened to in ages.

Exceptionally Detailed Book

Fantastic insight into the killing, lots of information but maybe a little too detailed in places for the average reader.. The autopsy & all the algebraic equations tended to get very confusing to listen to.
May be better if read with diagrams but a hard listen

Overly detailed
