The Men on the Sixth Floor: The "Must Have" JFK Assassination Book for the Serious Researcher.

Rate this book
The web of murder and greed is clearly explained in this book that was the first to reveal the strong ties that developed from Malcolm Wallace all the way to the Johnson White House - encircling the richest and most influential men in Texas - oil barons, weapons manufacturers, and businessmen who would consider the removal of John Kennedy an act of patriotism.

I thought this was a three star book, because I finished it after just a few hours. It must be pointed out that this book was written back in the 1990's and some of Glen Sample's startling claims were broadcast by the History Channel in 2003 as part of Nigel Turner's series 'The Men Who Killed Kennedy'. Of course, any accusation that a former President was a key part of a murder plot had to be suppressed and further TV broadcasts and DVD sales of this series were halted when the LBJ clan and friends gagged the H.C. The series is now only available on You Tube and is a must view for those opposed to any kind of state censorship, and for those seeking the truth of the coup d'état of 1963. 'The Men on the Sixth Floor' has now been revised and has two extra chapters in this 2011 publication.
The thrust of Sample and Collom's research is the placing of LBJ's hired killer Mac Wallace on the sixth floor of the TSBD, along with Lee Oswald and the information source Loy Factor. Personally I do not buy the Loy Factor story or believe that Oswald was anywhere near the sixth floor during the shooting. However, Wallace's involvement in the plot must be considered on account of the fingerprint found on one of the boxes in the sniper's nest. Other 2011 publications 'LBJ-The Mastermind of the JFK Assassination' by Phillip F. Nelson and Barr McClennan's 'Blood, Money & Power' have also covered this interesting angle of the puzzle. Related revelations came with the four letters written by an attorney for Billy Sol Estes to the U.S. Justice Department and the replies from the U.S. Justice Dept., regarding Billy Sol's knowledge of the killings of Henry Marshall, George Krutilek, Ike Rogers and his secretary, Harold Orr, Coleman Wade, Josefa Johnson (LBJ's sister), John Kinser and JFK, all with Wallace's involvement and 'that polecat Lyndon's' direction.

include this book as one of the top informative works on LBJ’s connection to murder of President Kennedy

I recommend this book to everyone that is hungry for the truth of our government and the murder of President Kennedy. I have read dozens of books on the subject of JFK assassination - The men on the sixth floor opened up new avenues into the subject I had never read about before.

Ties up loose ends in my personal research

I have been looking for a book that would lay some basic groundwork regarding LBJ's complicity in the assassination of President Kennedy. Barr McCllelan's book was an introduction in this dark affair and certainly opened my eyes to a different aspect of the case.

Very informative

I read it because I heard an interview where I heard for the first time, the name Malcolm Wallace, as the JFK shooter. Researching that led me to read this. I always believed it was a conspiracy & I always believed LBJ was behind it & I thought the CIA & maybe the FBI too or at least the latter in the cover up. The Warren Commission results just added to my suspicions. This book confirmed a lot.

Some goods some not so good

I have read over two dozen books on the assassination. Some of them agree with this book's conclusions, but I cannot recommend any book that claims Oswald was a shooter. He was seen on lower floors just a minute or two after the shots by several witnesses.

I do believe that Mr. Wallace was one shooter; LBJ
was involved directly, as the author claims.

The most in depth account of JFK’s assassination I’ve found.

I liked the author’s approach to annalizing the facts presented in this book. I would recommend this book to those who are interested in the truth behind the story. It is very thorough.

If you're into the whole JFK assassination then this book is a great read as it divulges information about the assassination that you may not have heard before but ties in with other evidence and theories that have been given by other researchers. Really enjoyed this one.

Loy Factor is described as an Indian man with Choctaw blood who claimed to the writers of this book to be on the sixth floor of the infamous school book depository on that fateful day in November of 1963. According to Loy, Lee Harvey Oswald was also there. Factor said that he never fired a shot and later escaped through the back of the building.
Billie Sol Estes is the most important link of the complicated puzzle. The wheeler-dealer was a main source of cash for Lyndon Johnson and through legal correspondence, offered to testify to LBJs involvement in several murders, including the assassination of JFK. Kennedy was about to dump Johnson from the 1964 ticket and the VPs corruption was under intense investigation in 1963. In the weeks before his death, the president put forth plans to withdraw troops from Vietnam. LBJ reversed the policy and profited through his investments in arms; sounds familiar presently in 2024.
Madeleine Brown was Johnson's long time mistress and attended a party the night before the assassination and was told by LBJ that "after tomorrow my problems with that Irish-Mafia bastard" would end.
The book is a short one but is another in my constant library of material on the never ending and fascinating subject.

A new light shi shone on a familiar topic. I’m of the mindset that Oswald assassinated President Kennedy, but I’m not opposed to the idea of conspiracy. I’m opposed to the idea of conspiracy without motive. I feel this is a book that take the assassination of the president and its official story and adds layers to it. It does fill in some gaps left by the official events that took place in Dallas over 60 years ago, but it also harmonizes some conspiracy theories together and there are some seemingly erroneous takes.

I’m still lost on the role of Loy Faxtor in the conspiracy and why he wasn’t used as the scapegoat. I still wonder why Oswald was scapegoated and taken out by Ruby, when there were allegedly others whonwerr present on the sixth floor that day.

The main character of this book does make the notion of conspiracy quite likely and if Lyndon Johnson was involved in the assassination of President Kennedy, the named assassin would most likely be the one he utilized and relied on to get the job done. The most damning piece of evidence against the named assassin is his fingerprint being found on the sixth floor of the TSBD. I feel this story and this view of the events that changed world history that day should be examined more than it has

A fresh look at the Kennedy Assassination, with a very plausible premise looking at LBJ and his cronies and their role in the assassination. Excellent book.

This was actually a pretty goof read. I'm not sure what to think about it or how much weight to give it. It does seem very wild. How could an Indian living mostly off the gird in Nowhere, Oklahoma know these things unless he was there? It's very improbable. It's also very improbable they would have let him live. Perhaps he was the one that was supposed to be framed but due to some unforeseen circumstance Oswald fit better? Who knows why people do what they do? But it's pretty hard for me to discount the guy altogether. Any fan of JFK assassination books will definitely wanna check this one out.

This book wasn’t bad, even the narration by virtual voice wasn’t that bad. From time to time it became a bit robotic but all over it was fine.

I don’t know but it seems as something is missing to this audible as stuff is mentioned, where you should be able to look at a fingerprint however there is no pictures included in this audible - that was quite annoying.

Overall the book is ok but comes across as quite dry, and a bit confusing. However the theory of the killing of JFK is very interesting.

So, That’s Who Did It

Well documented. Good cited sources. The telling and explanation of the whole conspiracy is done in such a way that the reader feels as if Collom and Sample are by his side leading and pointing the way. I have read several explanations of the Kennedy assassination, but Collom and Sample have put the final nail in the coffin. Good work and a good read

One of the most important books on the JFK assassination. These authors were the first to identify several keep players in the actual shooting.

A very quick read, and fascinating new information for it's time.

Brilliant!

This book is a must read for all Americans, absolutely credible. It makes total sense LBJ and his good ol boys were the perpetrators, as and empowered the CIA and FBI to orchestrate the cover up. Well done.

another conspiracy theory

Good book but another theory put forth by another author....if I believed every book I've read on the assassination, there would be possibly no one who wasn't involved...The CIA....The Mafia...Johnson...Castro...The Russians...or simply Oswald himself.

Average writing. Superficial analysis and inconclusive opinion: " LBJ masterminded it".


No proof, flimsy analysis. Sophomoric writing, reporting. This book is a waste of time, except it was nice to view the photos of the participants and locations I had not seen previously.

An Eye Opener!E

If you have any interest at all in the assassination of President Kennedy, you need to read this book. These men have done a spectacular job of following a trail without preconceived ideas about who all was involved in the "dastardly deed."

What a snake LBJ was!

Finally, clarity about who killed JFK. It was LBJ. Any doubts should be set aside after reading this book. Historically and factually based, this book paints a very clear picture of what truly happened leading up to and on 11/22/63.

There it is!

Now in black and white. Written down and documented. Now it should be accepted and left in history and to God's judgement.

Short and to the point. Undoubtedly more truth than fiction. Worth the time to read and ponder upon a time that changed everything Americans thought their country was.

Like many books about the assassination this one has one interesting central story to tell. The problem is that could have and should have been done in 20 pages not 200. The large majority of the text is old newspaper articles that help to prove the culpability of one of the supposed shooters. I won't spoil the authors story, just to say there is really not much to substantiate his claims.

I enjoyed reading The Men on the Sixth Floor as it brought together pieces and clues of the characters involved in the JFK assassination. The question should always have been "Who had the most to gain from the assassination?"

Interesting Take, Quick Read

This presents an interesting “corner piece” of the potential conspiracy around the JFK assassination. If this is an interesting topic to you, this is an interesting potential piece of the puzzle.
