Download Who's Who In The JFK Assassination: An A to Z Encyclopedia fb2

I first obtained this book in the softcover edition some years back. The kindle edition is very welcome. The kindle edition takes its place with the Warren Report (two different digital editions; Jim Marrs' Crossire; The Book of Facts; The Report of the HSCA. Its summaries of the people who were involved and those who became involved in the President's assassination is invaluable. For those of us who are old enough, this book is a good memory enhancer. What the reader thinks he/she knows about the main facts and events pales in the face of some of the information. No one actually knows what the original sniper's nest looks like because because boxes were moved and rearranged as anyone and everyone tramped through the 6th Floor of the TSBD and those same boxes were staged into a "sniper's nest" arrangement for news crew filming the search for evidence several times. A reminder that the TSBD was not immediately sealed by the Dallas Police as reported in the Warren Report. All of the information contained in this book focuses on the people involved which makes the information that much more vibrant and poignant. It is a must have book. It is vital for its bibliography as well.

in my government's failure to respect you when asking about [what are State Crimes] where as this work is most strongly recommended for non-electronic, "hard copy record" of historically proven, documented evidence of a criminal takeover of my government back in 1963.

I love my country but I hate & fear the way my government or elements within my government has conducted business because this publication validates what Sylivia Meagher created in a way that eventually, piss poor leadership skills validate a lack of respect for your fellow man. She pointed it out in 1967 where as this Encyclopedia, initially created in 1993 has enhanced that observation.

I feel fortunate I came across this amazing work a couple of years ago by Michael Benson because there's thousands of published works out there and it's overwhelming trying to weed out the BS, compared to what the historical, factual evidence presents. I say BS because I am the living example of one of those Americans who's been at the receiving end of the mushroom dinners regarding what happened to JFK and how that public execution was distorted by officialdom until just the last couple of years.

Specifically, I was born in January 63 where as I come from that generation of Americans abused with specific exposure to mass media's influence/distortion about my society. The proof of this is this Encyclopedia and what this material can reveal to one that's willing to look into the dark history of America. It is time specific and it limited in that it's not on Kindle but that means nothing until the day the power fails. Just one of those must have books for me personally in that your gas mileage might differ in that it does not get the hard work out it deserves but I feel that any material I have not read within the book is presented reasonability as what I've read elsewhere in the Encyclopedia. I recommend this publication to those who require mature and comprehensible information.

"Who's Who in the JFK Assassination" is yet another in a long line of well-researched and documented reports on this deeply troubling subject. It was actually possible to learn something new from reading. In fact, that is exactly what happens every time this reviewer reads more on the JFK murder.

"Who's Who" is notable in that there is no true narrative. The text is arrayed in a pure research format. Every single person who has any possible connection with the events of November 22, 1963 is listed in straight alphabetical order. Some entries are a mere single sentence, others go on for pages. Each entry is annotated to help the reader do deeper research. This review will not attempt to skewer the Warren Commission, the CIA or the other bad guys. That has been done vey capably before. Instead it will list new unanswered questions or new facts (new to this reviewer) concerning JFK's murder. These are listed here:

>Why did then Vice-President Johnson attempt to move Texas Governor Connally out of the President's limo? What did LBJ know in advance?

>Why did the Dallas office of the FBI wait until the very day (!) of Connally's burial to ask permission to examine his wrist for bullet fragments? An examination might have proven that there was more than one shooter in Dallas that afternoon and destroyed the positively daft "Magic Bullet" theory. For more insight into the "theory" and an inclusive time frame of the President's murder, one should read "Six Seconds in Dallas" by Josiah Thompson.

> This review will list without comment a direct quote from Jesse Curry, Dallas Chief of Police at the time of the murder: "We don't have any proof that Oswald fired that weapon and never did. Nobody yet has been able to place him in that building (the Book Depository) with a gun in his hand"

>Also listed without comment is this quote from John J. McCloy. That gentlemen was a Warren Commission member and former President of the World Bank. He asserted that the WC agenda was "to show that America is not a banana republic where a government can be changed by conspiracy"

"Who's Who" also relates many instances of the botched autopsies of JFK and the myriad of suspicious deaths of men and women with any connections to the murder, however remote.
This reviewer read "Who's Who" sequentially, as in a regular publication. Others, especially those doing research may wish to concentrate on a particular aspect or specific individuals. "Who's Who" grants that flexibility.

Those misguided naysayers who cling to the fantasy that JFK was murdered by a lone gunmen should read "Who's Who". WW does not espouse a certain point but lays out the facts, allowing the reader to decide independently where the responsibilities lie for the terrible events of November 22, 1963. That is its strength.

This is a great reference book for anyone that researches the JFK assassination. There are more than 1400 write ups on people who are somehow linked to the assassination. An essential book to acquaint or reacquaint the researcher with the many personalities that may be encountered while studying this topic.
