What are your top 5 JFK assassination books?

Having met both Lane and Bugliosi I can say that they were actually quite similar. Both were lawyers to the bone.

A pair of killer sharks right there. My condolences.

Yes, it's a miracle he survived the bite at T-3.

Lane was a wild conspiracy theorist. Dangerous. Blood on his hands in Jonestown and then had the temerity to write a book saying the shooters were US forces. Absolutely disgraceful.

A masterpiece of self-indulgence.

The most in depth piece we have about the assassination. Incredible book. Think it took me about 3 years to read it on and off.

Manchester Affair is not about the assassination per se, it's about all the roadblocks put in the path of William Manchester (including trying to keep him from being paid) in his writing Death of a President.

11/22/63 by Stephen King.


Oh!  Sorry.

11/22/63 by Stephen King.

Oh!  Sorry.

That was an interesting fictional account of the assassination.

Not unlike the Warren Commission Report.

A good thread, seeing we all might find ourselves 'self isolating' for some considerable time. I've been listening to a lot of audio books at work.

In no particular order, but my fave audio books so far -

The Last Investigation - Gaeton Fonzi. Really informative stuff. I looked forward to listening to each chapter.

On The Trail of the JFK Assassins - Dick Russell. If you are interested in the CIA mind control theory re Oswald the 'patsy' - this is #1.

The Devil's Chessboard - David Talbot. Epic account of the opposition JFK faced, as a new POTUS, from the then era 'deep state'.

The Girl On The Stairs - Barry Ernest. Reading the physical book, nearly finished. Very good read so far. Backs up a lot of my own understanding of the Warren Commission's lack of real truth seeking. They couldn't afford to find a conspiracy -- hence cutting their cloth accordingly. 

Brothers - David Talbot. Helps explain why the Kennedy's, but Bobby in particular, remained mostly silent re the assassination of JFK. Never wait for tomorrow!
