Coup d'etat: The assassination of President John F. Kennedy

by Jerry Kroth

Prof. Jerry Kroth's 50th anniversary edition presents the single, most plausible theory of the assassination. It is based on the admissions of grassy knoll gunman, James Files, the deathbed confession of CIA spymaster, E. Howard Hunt, and the most recent scholarship to appear in the last decade. Based also in part on his earlier work, Conspiracy in Camelot, Dr. Kroth proposes that Lyndon Johnson, the CIA, and Mafia, acting in concert, carried one of the greatest crimes in American history. Published by Genotype, Coup d'etat (2013) is a concise, well-documented expose of a brazen overthrow of the United States government by force of arms on November 22, 1963. Reviews (from the publisher)Coup d’etat is the definitive book on the Kennedy assassination! It should be required reading in every American high school.—Marvin Forrest, Ph.D.,Psychotherapist, Santa BarbaraDr. Kroth cuts to the heart of the matter laying out a hard to dispute argument for what actually happened that distant half century ago when everything changed for all of us. At a time when apologists have seemed to dominate the trend in regarding Kennedy assassination publishing, it is important to swing the pendulum back toward the rational conclusion that something was deliberately taken from us, the course of our future was compromised, and it was those we most trusted, not a crazed outlier, who engineered it all. This is a very important book and a must read for those of us who care.—Steve Stelle, author of On shaky ground. Coup d'etat, is a must-read for those of us who were of voting age during those turbulent times at the end of Camelot and who recall the strange goings on of the Warren Commission Hearings.  There were so many loose ends that have never been woven into a concise and believable explanation until now.—David Hall, author of The Rose

Great book. I had to read this in my grad class The Kennedy Assassination. Unlike the Warren Commission and Gerald Posner's "Case Closed," this book embraces recent conspiracy theories, new statements and Garrison's efforts at convicting Clay Shaw, whereas the Warren Commission and Posner deny that any conspiracies took place and try to tear books like this apart. This is a very well thought out, well written book.

Thought provoking

We were told or suggested to believe in the line gunman theory. Which didn't really make sense at the time. Too many things unfolded quickly. The motorcade reroute witnesses told you probably heard it this way or saw this differently
Too many close to this died mysteriously were afraid to talk and didn't for many years. Good book.

Puzzle Complete!

As the twelth book read on this subject, the other eleven present ample documented facts leading to conspiracy. This the twelth, puts all of the jigsaw pieces together to complete the picture. The author even questions his own belief of his decision and adequately justifies it.

Good synopsis

The book helps keep new and mid level researchers on track. Some of the conclusions are spot on and some are a leap of faith. Still a very well researched book that I wholeheartedly recommend for any SERIOUS researcher into the crime of the century.

Succinct and detailed research.

This finally pulls all the theories together making the case for a whodunit where the answer is EVERYBODY.
Final analysis that makes sense and explains ALL the confusing evidence from the past 50 years.

This is the first time I read a book about JFK assassination that had a viable link to LBJ.
I never thought he was involved but now I don't know.

Interesting Assumptions & Facts brought to light.

This writing seemed to be more objective yet informative. It made you ponder both sides of the equation. In the end, I believe the writer's perspectives, and NOTHING will change my opinion unless exhumation exonerates.

Best assassination theory based on true facts
