Hardback, 1st UK edn. Rumours about the assassination of Kennedy were multiplying. Conflicting statements made by the authorities, and the substitution of one set of "facts" by another in regard to matters of vital importance, made this inevitable. The author has brought an acute mind to bear on what, true or false, had been published, and presents a study of President Kennedy's assassination which may well come as close to the truth as was possible at the time. A vital clue to Kennedy's murder, he claims, is to be found in previous attempts against American Presidents from Lincoln onwards. Though in each case it was at first thought that the assassin was a lone wolf and a near madman, history has proved the contrary. This clue he applies to the assassination of President Kennedy on November 22 in Dallas. His brilliant and detailed analysis would seem utterly to destroy the version apparently accepted by the FBI and the Dallas authorities. Lee Oswald did not fire the fatal shot; there was a second assassin; Ruby was not an innocent onlooker; and at least 8 persons were actively concerned in the plot. The author points an accusing finger at those he believes to have been the leaders of the conspiracy. With 1 map. 192pp. 8vo. h/back.
