This review is from: Deep Politics II: Essays on Oswald, Mexico, and Cuba (Paperback)
People who have read Scott's work before will be happy to see that the footnotes are printed alongside the text rather than in the back. His footnotes have been an important part of his text and, as silly as this sounds, this difference was exciting.
This book is written for those that are serious about the case and requires the reader to have a more than basic knowledge of issues surrounding the early cold war, the Kennedy admin., the secret war with castro, and the assassination. This book is not a primer by any stretch (for a primer see: Summers' 'Conspiracy' or 'Deadly Secrets' by Hinckle and Turner). Also the book reads as a collection of essays rather than formulated to be a book ('Deep Politics and the Death of JFK' is thoughfully structured) so there is some repetition at the start of some of the essays. Peter Scott's 3 books on the assassination, Dallas/Watergate, Deep Politics I & II, are the best JFK assassination books out there (however, you do have to do your homework before you get to them). What you end up getting is not just an analysis of the assassination but a tour through the secret channels of power that fed and maintained the Cold War |
