Description: From the creators of the hit podcast of the same name, Who Killed JFK? unravels a tangled web of evidence--including recently declassified documents, rare interview transcripts, and existing expert research--and presents the definitive analysis of the Kennedy assassination.
Since the fateful day in Dallas on November 22, 1963, journalists, historians, and investigators have examined the official record of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, yet a clear and conclusive explanation has remained elusive. Until now. Synthesizing decades of research with original investigative work, Rob Reiner, David Hoffman, and Dick Russell reconstruct the assassination with scholarly rigor and narrative urgency. As the conspiracy unfolds, we find a botched autopsy, two compromised investigations, numerous suspicious deaths, and countless cover-ups within the very institutions charged with uncovering the truth. This book assembles the long-scattered fragments of the investigation into a coherent and riveting case and finally decodes America's greatest murder mystery. At a time when political violence and distrust in the government are reaching new highs, this answer--and the reasons why--may be more important than ever.Brief description: Dick Russell has published sixteen books, among them three New York Times bestsellers coauthored with former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura. He is the author of two groundbreaking books on the Kennedy assassination, including The Man Who Knew Too Much, hailed by Publishers Weekly as "a masterpiece of historical reconstruction." Russell's natural history saga Eye of the Whale was named one of the best books of the year by three major newspapers. His latest is The Real RFK Jr: Trials of a Truth Warrior, an intimate biography of the son of Robert Kennedy. The second and third volumes of Russell's monumental biography of the pioneering founder of archetypal psychology, The Life and Ideas of James Hillman, were published in 2023. Russell served as a researcher and commentator for Who Killed JFK?, the ten-part podcast series about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, hosted by Rob Reiner and Soledad O'Brien.
