JFK: The Smoking Gun

by Colin McLaren

It's the gunshot that echoed around the world - but who pulled the trigger? McLaren unravels the cold case of the 20th century.' Andrew Rule, bestselling author of Underbelly

Assassination? Conspiracy? Evidence of the shocking truth is finally revealed.

On 22nd November 1963, the 35th president of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, and his wife Jackie were taking part in a presidential motorcade through Dallas. Thousands lined the streets cheering; others hung out of windows to catch a glimpse of the much-loved First Lady and President. Suddenly, the unthinkable: three shots - bang???bang, bang - rang out. In front of the world, John F Kennedy was fatally wounded.

Lee Harvey Oswald was caught.
But did he fire the fatal bullet?

Who REALLY killed JFK?

Fifty years after the tragic events in Dallas, JFK: The Smoking Gun solves the ultimate cold case. With the forensic eye of a highly regarded ex-cop, Colin McLaren gathered the evidence, studied 10,000 pages of transcripts, discovered the witnesses the Warren Commission failed to call, and uncovered the exhibits and testimonies that were hidden until now. What he found is far more outrageous than any fanciful conspiracy theory could ever be.

JFK: The Smoking Gun proves, once and for all, who did kill the President.

What a book! Probably the most fascinating book I e read in recent memory. I’ve always thought there was a simpler, more common sense solution to the assassination. I have specifically looked for the secret service service weapons and have been unable to verify that they ever had the AR-15. Now we know. It all comes together. I can understand why they covered it up at the time but I think our population and the world can stand the truth, for once. Great book. I highly recommend it.
