About the author

Earling Carothers "Jim" Garrison, who changed his first name to Jim in the early 1960s — was the Democratic District Attorney of Orleans Parish, Louisiana from 1962 to 1973. He is best known for his investigations into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (JFK).

Garrison remains a controversial figure. Opinions differ as to whether he uncovered a conspiracy behind the John F. Kennedy assassination but was blocked from successful prosecution by a federal government cover up, whether he bungled his chance to uncover a conspiracy, or whether the entire case was an unproductive waste of resources.

Reviews

[Tim Mode · Rating 3 out of 5]

I expected more insight from Jim Garrison, one of the leading investigators of the JFK assassination. : I expected more insight into the secret-government centered around the CIA and the Bush family, operating behind the scenes in the interest of the 0.001% that controls the US government and runs most of the secret US-backed wars being created in the world today. It was a good-read, but not the great-read I had hoped for. Entertaining but disappointing.
