wonderfully detailed book

I really enjoyed this take on the Kennedy assassination, which is historically detailed, but happily not sensational regarding either JFK's life or death. I have to say I have reassessed the Kennedy Presidency after listening to this book. My only irritant was it could be slightly repetitive in parts or overly explain simple things, like who someone is over and over. I suspect in print this might not be as annoying as it is in audio. Good book, a must read for anyone interested in JFK, the cold war and for anyone that hopes for peace.

Excellent

By far the best book on JFK. The reader is very good. I'd read the book before, but listening to it was a whole new experience.

Good content, well narrated

I enjoyed this book and thought that it flowed well in the narration. I felt it was a little light on sourcing evidence, but overall very good.

Credible Chilling and Inspiring

Insufficiently appreciated story of corruption inside USA deepstate contrasted with the tremendous courage insight and leadership of the then acting president- explains why JFK is such a revered figure in history. Well researched, written and narrated- more entertaining than any fictional spy thriller.

The only JFK assassination book you need to read

This book is a captivating exploration into the enigmatic circumstances surrounding the assassination of President Kennedy. It delves deep into the intricate web of motives behind this tragic event, unraveling a complex narrative that sheds light on why powerful interests sought to eliminate a man who was committed to fostering global peace and fostering diplomatic ties with Soviet Russia.

What sets this book apart is its meticulous examination of Kennedy's political landscape, delving into unprecedented levels of detail. While this depth of information might be overwhelming for some readers, I found it invaluable in deciphering the intricate plot against Kennedy and why they had to get rid of him. In essence, the book convincingly argues that peace was a dire threat to the military-industrial complex and the ruling class, and it meticulously lays out the reasons they had to eliminate Kennedy.

The audiobook version of this work demands a high level of concentration, and I found myself constantly amazed by the profound revelations that unfolded during its more intricate sections. I frequently had to rewind passages to fully grasp the factual, documented information presented. The significance of this is that the revelations within are not mere conjecture; they are supported by hard evidence.

The book unveils shocking details, such as the close friendship between a police officer allegedly killed by Oswald and a CIA operator who happened to be in Dallas that fateful day. The fact that the officer's distraught widow called the CIA operator's wife immediately after the shooting raises alarming questions. Listening to the book, it becomes glaringly evident that Oswald was unwittingly manipulated by the CIA, used as a convenient scapegoat.

I thought I knew Oswald's story, but this book revealed that I barely scratched the surface. It also exposes the less-than-masterful side of the CIA, showcasing instances where their actions were so blatantly obvious that they resembled children leaving cookie crumbs to their hideout while denying any involvement. The sheer number of individuals involved in the assassination is staggering, highlighting the extent of corruption and deception present in 1963, even within mainstream media.

The book also uncovers the disturbing reality that Kennedy had advisors pushing him to authorize a first nuclear strike against Russia. In one chilling meeting, he was presented with information, claiming that a strike could eliminate 100 million Russians with only 20 million American casualties. Kennedy's refusal to comply with this request was just one of many factors that made him a target for removal.

The assassination itself was riddled with unexpected complications, as evidenced by Oswald's survival of the initial arrest and the subsequent bizarre execution at the police station. Ultimately, this book paints a disturbing portrait of the CIA in 1963, not long after its inception, revealing it as a sinister and corrupt force. It underscores the notion that the CIA has been a devastating and detrimental influence on America and suggests that the events of 1963 marked a pivotal moment when democracy literally died on that fateful day of Kennedy's assassination.

In sum, this book is an incredibly thought-provoking exposé that delves into the shadowy world of politics, espionage, and power, offering a fresh perspective on the Kennedy assassination and the forces at play in 1963. It leaves readers with a sobering understanding of the dark underbelly of American democracy and the enduring impact of that fateful day.

The CIA is still there run by the same types it was run by in 1963. One can only imagine the level of corruption, deceit, murder and destruction it continues to seed in America today and around the world. To truly absorb this book I have decided to buy the hard copy and will have to read it at least twice.

Best book on jfk assassination

loved this. little heavy at times on Vietnam but overall the best book on the assassination that I've read. some stunning witness accounts, strikingly that of Ed Hoffman who had a full view as events unfolded behind the stockade fence. Remarkable stuff.
