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.
