by Joe Biles (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
More than 38 years after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Americans continue to be intrigued by the central mysteries of that murder. In 1967, New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison set out to answer those unanswered questions. Along the way he managed to indict three men in connection with that he perceived to be a New Orleans based conspiracy. With the 1969 acquittal of his prime suspect, Clay Shaw, Garrison's probe was universally criticized and has since been largely ignored. Few have examined Garrison's lesser-known evidence, such as his perjury case against Kerry Thornley, a Marine Corps associate of accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. Veteran researcher Joe G. Biles provides us with, for the first time, a book-length look at the life and lies of Kerry W. Thornley.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thought-Provoking Book is a Must-Read!, June 19, 2005

By	M. Shettel (Carlisle, PA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Mr. Biles has written an incredibly well thought-out book that I would recommend to anyone studying the Kennedy assassination. His extensive research into the case is evident from the very beginning. The book sorts fact from fiction and brings to light a compelling side to the Kennedy assassination that you have never seen before. A definite must-read!

By	Judson Meeks (Mineral Wells, TX USA) - See all my reviews

For someone of such a young age to write and publish a book of this caliber is just amazing. Moreover, the book examines the conspiracies of the JFK asassination in a very in-depth perspective. Bravo, Mr. Biles, Bravo!

1.0 out of 5 stars What a pity!, August 12, 2003

By	Evelyn Tremble (Gotha, Germany) - See all my reviews

I bought this book with the hope that after 40 years of lies and deception about the JFK assassination somebody finally connected the dots between Kerry Thornleys experiences and the doings of Lee Harvey Oswald as the title of this book suggests. Sadly nothing of this comes to pass. It seems as though the author hasn't read the books of Kerry Thornley since they are not listed in his bibliography. How can you write about somebody whose books you haven't read? All the author does is restate the absurd and officially disproven charges of Jim Garrison of the late 1960s. He even misinterprets the information Thornley gave to the FBI & the Secret Service right after the assassination of JFK, because he didn't care to check Thornleys own accounts on the matter. Anybody really interested in these issues may find Kerry Thornleys book 'Confession to Conspiracy to Assassinate JFK' for free on the internet by typing the title of the book in any of the internet search engines. More true research, please, because Thornleys real story still leaves many interesting questions open.
