The Assassinations: Dallas and Beyond, A Guide to Cover-Ups and Investigations Hardcover – January 1, 1976

4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 10 ratings

An extensive anthology of articles & book extracts dealing with the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy & Martin Luther King, plus the Warren & Rockefeller Commission investigations thereof. The editors promise that, rather than pegging the real assassins, they will "tell alert readers about important covert processes of politics in America" & probe the curious intrigues & unanswered questions from Dallas to Watergate. It's an anthology that reads like a thriller. The reader plays role of master sleuth, trying to find answers to such questions did Presidents Johnson & Nixon doubt that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone? What evidence is there that Oswald was telling the truth when he claimed his innocence? What is the connection between Dallas & Watergate? Russell Stetler was an aide to Bertrand Russell & author of "The Battle of The Effects of Riot-control Technology in Northern Ireland" (1970). Peter Dale Scott was a Canadian diplomat, Berkeley English professor and poet.

  • Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2003
    Lee Harvey Oswald became the most hated man in America after the tragic death of John F. Kennedy. But did Oswald actually do it? If he did was he alone? The Assassinations Dallas and Beyond contemplates these questions as well as the integrity of the commission composed to answer them. The book is a compilation of several official reports, which were both rewritten and analyzed by editor Peter Dale Scott. The books main points focus on the credibility of the Warren Report by evaluating several disregarded pieces of evidence and witnesses that may have proved Oswald's innocence. The Assassinations also describes Oswald's social life, including his communist ties. Although packed with an insurmountable amount of information, this book has a gross redundancy. Still after reading through it all, I feel Oswald was innocent. Only someone with a passion for either JFK or Lee Oswald could stand the long nights of reading a lot of the same information only written differently. However, if you enjoy bleeding from your eyes, or just have trouble sleeping at night, then feel free to read The Assassinations Dallas and Beyond. Take my word for it; don't waste your money on this one and check it out at your local library.

    The author was a top secret researched that consulted for the CIA during the 1970s.

    Google "jfk files" and on the official government website, his top secret report from the 70s (to the CIA) comes up. Its free and super interesting.
