Lamar Waldron brings forth the culmination of decades worth of excellent research with this truly definitive account of how and why the 35th President of the United States was murdered in Dallas fifty years ago. This streamlined book completes this brilliant historian's study of the crime of the century.
Unlike the recent mountains of books from the standard "establishment" sources who are still (!) pushing the insulting conclusions of the 1964 Warren Commission(Gerald Posner,Vince Bugliosi,Bill O'Reilly,etc), and the wacky hucksters who routinely push transparently ridiculous theories about the case, Waldron has now proven himself as the pre-eminent historian of this case. His meticulously-detailed research has clearly set him apart from the pack.
And why is it so hard for some to believe this evidence?! Waldron convincing outlines the truth:
how Oswald, the military-intelligence fake Russian defector and 'pseudo-Communist' was managed into creating a purposefully-obvious trail of fake domestic US pro-Castro activities by his CIA and mafia-connected handlers Guy Bannister and David Ferrie. Oswald was exactly the "perfect Patsy" for Carlos Marcello,Santo Trafficante, and Johnny Roselli to use as their fall guy for the assassination precisely because the godfathers knew that the US government would conceal any effort to expose Oswald's true identity as a long-time US intelligence asset. Pinning the crime on Oswald to deflect attention, they then had him quickly killed by Marcello's bag man Jack Ruby, standard procedure in these type of hits.
For a long time I thougt the truth in this case would never be exposed; with this latest Waldron tour-de-force, I believe that the fullness of time has changed that calculation.
I have read hundreds of JFK books. I wan't to believe there was a conspiracy to kill JFK. The official facts lean toward a conspiracy. But the story is complex. And almost all of the JFK assassination books - while compelling - still leave the lawyer in me not convinced. I want the truth and I want it verified. Every JFK conspiracy book leaves me wanting.
This book is the most compelling narrative I have ever read. It makes total sense. it provides a lens to view other conflicting/complimentary JFK assassination works, with one over-arching theory, that is the most plausible narrative ever written.
First, though a disclaimer. And its why I make a distinction between a narrative and conclusive evidence. The author doesn't provide the same kind of footnotes that other serious works have used. Even when the author makes certain claims others have made - he doesn't bother to provide the same footnotes of the other authors. Whether that is because of the publisher or the author I don't know.
The author also generously uses private conversations with government principles and supporting players. There is no way to footnote private conversations. The author seems honest enough. But its impossible to corroborate private conversations.
The main new foundation of the book are the following: a confidential FBI 1980s program wiring conversations by Carlos Marcello in prison where he admits his guilt, a JFK-RFK plot to work with Castro's number three official (army chief of staff behind Fidel and Raul Castro) to overthrow the Castro regime scheduled on December 1, 1963 and Carlos Marcello being in court waiting on a verdict on November 23rd with David Ferrie sitting next to him.
