Thought provoking. If true, our government is more sinister than I ever thought.

Another "we solved it!" book. (I think I have about half a dozen books, all with different solutions). This is one of the more plausible ones.

I definitely don't believe the Warren Commission Report.
Common sense tells me WC members Gerald Ford later was appointed Prez and pardoned Nixon when he threatened to spill the beans on the WC fantasy. Fords VP was none other than Nelson Rockefeller and if you watched SNL out of Rockefeller Center you'll know that Squeaky Fromme and hapless others tried to kill Ford. Thankfully they failed.
Arlen Specter in a fit of genius came up with the magic bullet theory and then became a Senator in PA.
Just how gullible of a fella are you?

What a shame that the powers that were didn't bother with any facts or theories other than their own. Great reading and much food for thought.

Solid read into the Kennedy assassination. McDonald seems to be legit. Very little info of the author or his story on the Internet. Good read. Read in four days.

Uninteresting, badly written, seemed hard to believe, I mean it's possible but maybe if someone else had written it, I would have been more desirous of finishing.
