Description: The assassination of President Kennedy was an appalling and grisly conspiracy. Kaiser shows that the events of November 22, 1963, cannot be understood without fully grasping the two larger stories of which they were a part: the U.S. government's campaign against organized crime; and the furtive quest of two administrations to eliminate Castro.
Brief description:
David Kaiser is an independent scholar.
Review Quotes: Finally a historian, without preconceptions, has looked at the voluminous, once secret documents produced by the CIA, the FBI, and other government agencies in response to the JFK Assassination Records Act of 1992. Kaiser's nuanced conclusions on Oswald's guilt and the ominous issue of conspiracy will command respect from even those who disagree with them. Comprehensive, beautifully crafted, and well-reasoned. An essential addition to the JFK corpus.--G. Robert Blakey, Notre Dame Law School, and former Chief Counsel of the House Select Committee on Assassinations
