Earling Carothers "Jim" Garrison, Democratic District Attorney of Orleans Parish, Louisiana from 1962 to 1973 was absolutely convinced the assassination of John F. Kennedy involved more shooters than Oswald, who was a government agent, and included in the conspiracy Jack Ruby. Guy Banister - employee of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, an Assistant Superintendent of the New Orleans Police Department, and a private investigator - was an avid anti-communist, fixer for anti-Castro forces show more and viewed by Garrison as a key link for Oswald to the shadowy underworld that led to a coup on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dealey Plaza. This quick read is a litany of conspiracy-supporting facts that were dismissed by government investigators with a quick efficiency that sure makes it look like a cover-up. show less
Why 4 stars:
- I like the author's writing style.
- The content of this book may be controversial, but it makes you wonder/question/think.

Who should read this?
Anyone interested in the subject, I guess.
Mycket intressant bok. Ganska så tydligt att någon form av konspiration ägt rum. Blir dock lite tråkigt i längden med Garrisons "bäst i klassen och jag vet om det" attityd.

Una storia vera,l'unica azione legale intrapresa da un procuratore per l'omicidio di John Kennedy. Credo che la ricostruzione di Garrison sia fondata e che l'azione legale non sia riuscita perchè forze molto in alto l'hanno fermata. Avvicente come un romanzo, mai noioso è un libro da leggere.
