Blood, Money, & Power exposes the secret, high-level conspiracy in Texas that led to President John F. Kennedy’s death and the succession of Lyndon B. Johnson as president in 1963. Attorney Barr McClellan, a former member of L.B.J.’s legal team, uses hundreds of newly released documents, including insider interviews, court papers, and the Warren Commission, to illuminate the maneuvers, payoffs, and power plays that revolved around the assassination of Kennedy and to expose L.B.J.’s involvement in the murder plot.

In addition to revealing new information, McClellan answers common questions surrounding the assassination of our thirty-fifth president. Who had the opportunity, motive, and means to assassinate J.F.K.? Who controlled the investigation and findings of the Warren Commission? This historically significant book is proof that absolute power, money, blood, corruption, and deception were at the heart of politics in the early 1960s, and it represents the very best investigative journalism has to offer.

Compelling

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book was very persuasive. So many wanted Kennedy dead for many reasons. He didn't want Israel to have The Bomb. He wanted to destroy the CIA. He took the first step to take control of the dollar back from the illegal and unconstitutional Fed bloodsuckers by executive order 11110. He wasn't hip to American involvement in Vietnam beyond training and support.

But the evidence of one of LBJ's errand boys being in the Depository building makes it likely that his people were involved. I would recommend this book to anyone, not just for the assassination related material, but also for the information about Texas politics and the rise of LBJ.

Unfortunately, it’s still going on

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book gives a good insight and plausible theory showing that LBJ called for the assassination of Kennedy. The motive was to put an end to investigations into LBJ’s corruption. What I found most discomforting was the blatant manipulation and control by Johnson’s good old boy network. And it is easy to see how the same methodology is alive and well today at the highest levels.

A Really Great Summary of How LBJ Killed JFK.

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2020

Verified Purchase

I wrote a much more detailed review on Goodreads. But this book ties up a lot of loose ends about the involvement of LBJ in JFK's murder. I have read about 20 complete books on the subject, & this book is one of the best in the genre. I have researched JFK's murder since 1988, when I was 12 years old. I have technically read about 50 books on the subject along with extensive research on the subject for about 30 years, & this book is very close to what actually happened. The only issue that is lacking is his neglect of the issue of the CIA helping to frame Oswald. Other than that it is still a great book. A must read.

What an eye opener

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2018

Verified Purchase

I have to admit that I was shocked at how far back corruption goes in our government. I probably shouldn’t have been but I was. I knew that Johnson was cruel, just didn’t know how cruel. I knew he never rose in position without crawling over a dead body so I’ve always wondered. Very well written although at times it seems to get bogged down. Very enlightening. Very enjoyable.

LBJ may have orchestrated JFK's death...and maybe not

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2021

Verified Purchase

The book was on time and in good condition. Many professional reviewers wrote words such as this: "...his evidence is meager and murky, even by the standards of Kennedy conspiracy scholarship" But I bought the book just the same. Maybe this lawyer/author doesn't have conclusive evidence of LBJ's collusion but all the other warts and malfeasance associated with LBJ is clearly delineated. So, even if the Texan had no hand in the demise of the Boston boy he seems to have led a life that earned him all the anguish he suffered in his final years. Good book, IMO

The LBJ legacy is going downhill, as it should.

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent book of the life of Lyndon Johnson. The LBJ legacy has been deteriorating badly over the past 40 years as more and more
evidence of his character become available. His indiscretions reached in all directions, and included corruption, money-laundering, ego, meanness,
hatred of the Kennedy brothers, and many more to numerous to mention. When he left the presidency in 1969, he was deeply depressed with
the Vietnam war. I was in Vietnam when JFK was killed. They notified us in the middle of the night, and we could scarily believe what had happened.
LBJ wanted to be president so badly that he let his intentions be known in 1961. There are witnesses to this statement. LBJ was the Texas power
politics guru all his political life. Over 70% of Americans now believe he was connected to the murder and the cover-up.

Very well documented account.

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is a very well documented account of LBJ's political life from its beginning until his death. It reveals many associations--with Estes, Baker, Murchison, and others who were involved in unbelievable corruption added by LBJ's long time lawyer. It reviews the blatant corruption of Texas politics as well as the crimes--including murder--which LBJ had a hand in. It also shows that LBJ had at least before or after JFK's assassination. His exact role is blurred by time and a well planned cover up. It also goes into LBJ's psychiatric problems after he left the White House although it can't be too specific because of privacy laws. It's a real page turner.

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2015

Amazing facts I did not know about the assassination and it all seems to make sense when put together. But goes deep into Johnson's life and career and political life, some of which is hard to understand unless you are a politician. I was looking for more about the assassination itself,and it does go into that, but I guess you have to get a picture of the Johnson early years and beyond in order to understand why he and his cronies would commit such an atrocious crime.

Near the Truth

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 2, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is a major work on the assassination of President Kennedy; probably as direct from the horse's mouth as anything that can be available to us now. Barry McClellan was on the front line with Johnson and Clark from 1966 to 1971 working through the sea of corruption and the influence of LBJ in which so many sank. The personalities of both men are presented which, even though not providing proof of any kind in themselves, are substantial indication of the conspiracy that manifestly took place.

The only reservation I have is the method of 'faction' that McClellan employs to describe what he thinks probably happened. Not actually in the case of Don Thomas' visit to LBJ, one month before the former president died, because there is no indication of what occurred and the imagined dialogue could well be near the truth. It is in the shooting from the sixth floor which has Oswald taking a shot from the window, in the company of Mac Wallace, which is doubtful. There are comparatively reliable witness claims from Book Depository secretary Carolyn Arnold, police officer Marion Baker with Book Depository superintendent Roy Truly and workers James Jarman and Harold Norman who stated that they encountered the alleged assassin on the first and second floors around the time of the shooting. Coupled with this is the statement of bystander, Arnold Rowland, who saw two men in the window neither of which matched the likeness of Oswald.

McClellan seems to have disregarded this and it could equally have been that Oswald was duped into a false attempt to protect the president and the first thing he knew of the assassination plan was when the shots rang out. At that moment he realised he was the patsy and took off. What is also disregarded is the opinion of Dr.Crenshaw, and others, at Parkland hospital that Kennedy's throat wound was an entry wound from the front.

Even so the remarkable machinations come through, although with rather more underlining than is necessary. What is also evident is the integrity of Barr McClellan. We can only hope that his plea at the end for everything remaining to be released for scrutiny will eventually happen.

Useful insider's partial knowledge.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 20, 2020

Verified Purchase

Would fit into the factition category. Very useful factual info from an insider into LBJ's law firm and its potential role in the JFK assassination. The fiction part occurs when the author reconstruct conversations in his story (scenarios) using hearsay info, from partners allegedly involved in the planned assassination of JFK. Sometimes it's hard to separate facts from the fiction. But a plausible account about he alleged plotters.

Robert Jones

Not entirely convincing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 15, 2014

Verified Purchase

I found this book interesting rather than compelling. McClellan makes a very detailed case based on his inside knowledge of the people involved.The history of politics in Texas I found particularly interesting.

However, I'm somewhat cautious in this respect: the record of some of the key conversations.

I don't see where he can state verbatim the conversation between LBJ and Edward Clark when the whole thing was set up in a private meeting between the two alone near the LBJ ranch. I can't see that Clark would have told him (McClellan) and LBJ was dead by the time McClellan was involved in the story.

Also I don't see where the record of the conversation between Clark and Mac Wallace setting the whole thing up came from. Again I don't see Clark as passing on this information and Wallace died in 1971.

There is also the conversation between LBJ and Don Thomas shortly before LBJ died re what the psychiatrist knew and might tell. This I find slightly more credible as Thomas was a good friend to McClellan and might well have passed this on.

I stand to be corrected on these points; I found the book very interesting but not entirely convincing. However, although I regard myself as a cynic, I am genuinely shocked at the thesis in this book.

Proves incontrovertibly that LBJ was one of the most disgusting, foul and evil men that has ever existed

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 25, 2015

Interminable detail about LBJ's youth and rise to power, very little about his part in the conspiracy to assassinate JFK. Proves incontrovertibly that LBJ was one of the most disgusting, foul and evil men that has ever existed; I felt dirty just reading about the abominable things he did. JFK had his faults but he was one of the most intelligent, far-sighted, empathetic presidents America has ever had, and to think of what the world lost that terrible day in Dallas still makes me feel physically sick 50 years on.
