Editor reviews
Philip F. Nelson hopes to show that Lyndon B. Johnson played a major role in the Kennedy assassination, and unlike the baseless speculation and second-hand hearsay found elsewhere, Nelson grounds his claims with historical and biographical fact in a well-structured narrative that connects LBJ's youthful character flaws to the shady dealings in his early political life, and finally to the mentality that led him to - as Nelson asserts - assassinate JFK. Nelson is assisted in part by the convincing work of Fred Sanders, who is able to convey a believable curiosity and confidence while boldly implicating the 36th president.
Summary
The case against Lyndon B. Johnson and his role in Kennedy's assassination has never been sounder. LBJ aims to prove that Vice President Johnson played an active role in the assassination of President Kennedy and that he began planning his takeover of the U.S. presidency even before being named the vice presidential nominee in 1960.
Lyndon B. Johnson's flawed personality and character traits, formed as a child, grew unchecked for the rest of his life as he suffered severe bouts of manic-depressive illness. He successfully hid this disorder from the public as he bartered, stole, and finessed his way through the corridors of power on Capitol Hill, though it's recorded that some of his aides knew of his struggle with bipolar disorder.
After years of researching Johnson and the JFK assassination, Phillip F. Nelson conclusively shows that LBJ had an active role in JFK's assassination, and he includes newly uncovered photographic evidence proving that Johnson knew when and where Kennedy's assassination would take place. Nelson's careful and meticulous research has led him to uncover secrets from one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in our country's history.

Superb
Thoroughly enjoyed this wonderfully in-depth look at LBJ. Backed up by evidence and supported by facts, it builds an irresistible picture of the man behind the JFK assassination.

Great detail.
The paradox of all revolutions is that it paralyzes the creative Impulse from which it sprang. It's origin a principle, it's end a formula. Such is its fatal cycle.

woa!
This book is wonderful although painful to read... how many people got away with so many murders and how just for power LBJ killed a president, a spouse and a father.
The performance was great. This book gives one so many information and I hope to read an update from it if the release documents during Trump's time were also giving new information or evidence.

Shocking, extraordinary
I've never had much time for what I considered to be conspiracy theories around the JFK assassination, but having listened to all 4 of Robert Caro's books on LBJ a few times, I felt I already had a bit of an insight into the man's character, so gave this a go mainly because it was included in my membership. To say it is eye opening is a major understatement. This book in a way doesn't surprise me - I was already aware of the man's unbelievable ambition and his ruthless, manipulative nature - but this is by turns stunning, shocking, exhilarating and depressing. I would urge you to listen to it - and even if you decide it's all nonsense, it is beautifully written and read, so there's that too. Personally, though, it doesn't seem like nonsense to me...

No mention of Meyer Lansky or Mossad.
I enjoyed the book, there’s a lot of detail about LBJ however it is very long and you might want to reserve “Final Judgement” until you read around a little more.

THE DEFINITIVE BOOK BY FAR
This has to be THE book to read for anyone interested in gaining a wide and fact-based knowledge of the most likely conspirator(s) and the likely chief (LBJ) behind the JFK assassination. It's a long journey (27hrs or so) however it is a gripping listen, I never got bored and everything is laid out clearly and concisely, backed with evidence. There is little conjecture in this book - as there has been with other books linking LBJ to the assassination - as it draws it's unavoidable conclusions. I loved this book!!!
