A Cruel and Shocking Act The Secret History of the Kennedy Assassination, by Philip Shenon (read 20 Nov 2020) This book, published in 2013, has 556 pages of text, 35 pages of notes, and a 6 page bibliography as well as an index. My view of the event has long been that the Warren Commission got it right--that Oswald acted alone and that there was no conspiracy. That view was induced by Gerald Posner's book, Case Closed, (read 31 Dec 1993) and Vincent Bugliosi's magnum opus, Reclaiming History, (read 24 Nov 2007). This book raises lots of question and shows that some things the Warren Commission did not cover or get right but does not show that its conclusions were wrong One could spend years studying the facts and the available material. This book was easy to read and of high interest. Det här är en av LibraryThings förhandsrecensioner. If there is anything you need to know about the assassination of JFK, this is the book. I barely remember this happening but I do know that this made an indelible mark in both of my parents and reading this book brought me closer to understanding their sorrow. I would encourage anyone who wants to know more to turn to this book for answers.
Fifty years out, we have hundreds of thousands of pages dedicated to undoing and redoing the work of the Warren Commission. But the more we find out, Shenon suggests, the more we realize how little we know. “In many ways,” he concludes, “this book is an account of my discovery of how much of the truth about the Kennedy assassination has still not been told.” Priser
"Groundbreaking new history of the Kennedy assassination, investigative reporter and bestselling author Phil Shenon writes the ultimate inside account of what has become the most controversial murder investigation of the 20th century, the aftermath of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Based on groundbreaking research, deep reporting, and unprecedented access, the book is character driven, dialogue rich, with facts and incidents that will stun and surprise."-- Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

At the time the Warren Commission was issued, 87% of Americans felt Oswald was the lone killer. Only after conspiracy books, which laid out their narratives with completely false and misleading information, did the public start to lean towards conspiracy. If wild theories go unanswered without context, you have theories put out there that are repeated again and again until people think that that is the real story. This books explains all of the misconceptions and crazy conspiracy theories and puts them to rest with proof and answers that are backed up by facts and dozens of footnotes from the people who lived through and went on the record with the author or other reporters.
I implore all who are seriously interested in this subject to read this book. ( )
