What's the worst JFK assassination related book you ever came across?

[Steve M. Galbraith]

The Gagne book - "Thinking Critically...." - is especially good on the question of how exactly such a secret conspiracy could be planned in advance (no one said no?), executed (no one saw this being done?) and then covered up (no one blew the whistle?) when we have the problem of bureaucratic independence and inertia and rivalries. There is no such thing as "the government", not in the US. It's a series of agencies and departments and divisions filled with people of various backgrounds and views and interests.

Gagne makes this point: "Conspiracists are often silent on this matter [of how a bureaucracy could pull such a conspiracy off] but anyone who has studied the way institutional bureaucracies behave - with their particular chains of command, methods of internal communication, and bureaucratic trappings - might find it difficult to believe that a seamless conspiracy can be conduced by rival government agencies. It becomes even more questionable when we compound the number of agents and White House aides still faithful to Kennedy who maintained access to the evidence [and the investigation]."

Remember that LBJ kept *all* of JFK's people in his Administration, not only heading the departments and agencies but the Kennedy people, the Irish mafia, were kept onboard too. Why would he do this if he wanted to keep this quiet? It makes no sense.

So where was this plot planned out? Who led or initiated it? Where did they meet? How did they communicate? How were those who carried it out paid? Directed? Instructed? Where is the money trail? Where are the orders? I've read dozens of conspiracy books, more than I care to admit, and none of them lay this out. It's all "the conspiracy was off the books" replies if we get one at all.

We know the the civil service, the Administrative state, the bureaucracy of the US government cannot be controlled the way conspiracists say it was. It doesn't work that way. And multiple generations of people too? But in conspiracy world it doesn't work this way; "the government" is a single entity with the various agencies and departments and divisions - and all of the people in them - working together. It's a fantasy world they've created; not the real one.

The worst JFK Assassination related book , " BY FAR " is that Joke of a book written by Vincent Bugliosi called " Reclaiming History" . It has 1,648 pages and is as useless as the Warren Report . Did any of you read it ? Vincent has to be a 3rd cousin to Gerald Posner !!!!!

Always liked Marina and Lee by Priscilla McMillan

[Fergus O'Brien]

Some of the best books on this subject are:

Beyond Reasonable Doubt: The Warren Report and Lee Harvey Oswald's Guilt and Motive 50 Years on
The JFK Myths: A Scientific Investigation of the Kennedy Assassination
Conspiracy of One: The Definitive Book on the Kennedy Assassination
Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy
JFK Assassination Logic: How to Think about Claims of Conspiracy
Thinking Critically About the Kennedy Assassination: Debunking the Myths and Conspiracy Theories
Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK

All these truth-orientated titles provide an honest and unbiased evaluation of the evidence. The authors who have placed the historical truth over financial gain—a trait utterly foreign to the prevaricating deceptive writings of their conspiracy adversaries—should be commended for their invaluable work.

how much was the bug paid to write reclaiming history ? how much did tom hanks pay him for the rights to make a documentary series (later would become the movie parkland ) ? . how much was Dale myers paid for his SBT animation ? .

"authors who have placed the historical truth over financial gain" paul

you can read and like any book and hold an opinion that oswald and oswald alone acted here . that is your right , but please dont insult the intelligence of people who know (seemingly a lot better than you ) just how much the above named two have made from jfks death , its multiple of millions between them . and i am not including Myers ghost writing on RH in this .

Don't fool yourself, O'Brien. Oh, and by the way, go back to school and learn how to write property.

And you do, David?

[David Von Pein]

And you do, David?

Well, I'm not arrogant enough to think I know for a fact that Bugliosi (and others) made "millions" of dollars off their books. I have no idea what they made----and neither do any of the know-it-all CTers.

And the "Myers Was Bugliosi's Ghostwriter" crap is just that-----crappola!
