The Kennedy Conspiracy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kennedy Conspiracy? (ISBN 0-7515-1840-9; Publisher: Marlowe & Co; Updated edition; September 1998) is a completely revised and updated version of Anthony Summer's classic Conspiracy, which was published in 1980 following a congressional committee's findings that there was a conspiracy to kill President John F. Kennedy.
[edit] Overview
When it was released Conspiracy won rave reviews from such prestigious publications as Newsweek, The Washington Post, and The New York Times, and former Kennedy aides such as Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. and Pierre Salinger praised Summers for his thorough research and sensible approach to the problem. It also won the coveted "Golden Dagger" award as the best "true crime" book of 1980. Although there have been many "pro-conspiracy" books written on the Kennedy assassination, this book is considered one of the best-written, most reliable, and most persuasive.
Summers, a respected investigative reporter for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), did an exhaustive, years-long investigation into the Kennedy assassination. In this book he presents the various groups in America which had a good reason to try and kill Kennedy in 1963 - the mafia, the anti-Castro forces, rogue government agents, and of course Lee Harvey Oswald himself - and then presents the evidence he found for a conspiracy. Wisely, Summers doesn't advocate any single theory - he simply presents the evidence and leaves it to the reader to decide.
