Who killed JFK? Ever since that fateful day in Dallas, theories
about President Kennedy's murder have proliferated, running the
gamut from the official "lone gunman" verdict to both serious and
utterly screwball conspiracy theories. Michael Kurtz, a
distinguished historian who has plumbed every crevice of this
controversial case for more than thirty years, now sums up and
critiques four decades of debate, while also offering provocative
new perspectives.
Kurtz presents an objective accounting of what we actually know
and don't know about the assassination, underlining both the logic
and the limitations of the major theories about the case. He then
offers unique interpretations of the physical and forensic evidence
and of existing areas of controversy, leading him to new
conclusions that readers will find hard to dismiss.
Kurtz shows how the official investigation's egregious
mishandling of the crime-scene evidence--related to virtually every
aspect of the case--is largely responsible for the lone
gunman/conspiracy schism that confronts us today. Those responsible
for that investigation (including the Dallas police, the FBI, and
the Warren Commission) failed so miserably in their efforts that
they would have been laughed off the air if they had been portrayed
on any of TV's popular CSI series.
One of the few experts writing on the subject who actually met
Oswald, Kurtz also provides new information about the accused
assassin's activities around the time of the assassination and
about his double life, analyzing Oswald's ties to the intelligence
community, to organized crime, and to both anti- and pro-Castro
Cuban activists. Mustering extraordinary documentation-including
exclusive interviews with key figures and extensive materials
declassified by the Assassination Records Review Board-he both
confirms and alters much previous speculation about Oswald and
other aspects of the case.
Who really killed JFK? Forty years later, most Americans still
feel they don't know the truth and that their own government isn't
telling them the whole story. This book offers a corrective to even
the most recent "final verdicts" and establishes a sound baseline
for future research.
