Prayer Man: More Than a Fuzzy Picture
Not since the release of Oliver Stone’s landmark film JFK has the world’s attention been so focused upon details relating to the assassination of President Kennedy. With the President of the United States issuing a declassification executive order, and the appointment of Rep. Anna Luna (R-Fla.) as chairwoman of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, renewed interest in the release of JFK assassination documents is at an all-time high. Introduced into this extraordinary moment, Bart Kamp’s Prayer More Than a Fuzzy Picture is an unprecedented decade-long investigation of the hidden and unpublicized facts associated with Lee Harvey Oswald’s last 48 hours.
Bart Kamp has produced a meticulous accounting of Lee Harvey Oswald, his movements, and the specific locations of other Texas School Book Depository employees inside the building during and shortly after President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas on November 22nd 1963.
Prayer Man also examines the period of Oswald’s incarceration and interrogations. It presents an entirely new and multi-dimensional chronical of how local and federal law enforcement agencies gathered their evidence and took contemporaneous notes during Oswald’s interrogations that weekend. It reveals a dramatic new context in relation to understanding Lee Harvey Oswald's innocence. And it examines, with impartial precision, the much discussed proposition that two cameramen, NBC’s Dave Wiegman and WBAP’s James Darnell, may have captured alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald exactly where he had claimed to be, standing near to the top of the stairs at the Elm Street entrance of the Texas Schoolbook Depository building seconds after the attack on President Kennedy’s motorcade; a revelation that is now being brought to the attention of congressional investigators.
Within these pages are many new and never-before published details that contrast the altered witness accounts that were represented before the Warren Commission and challenge many commonly accepted assumptions and interpretations. This work is a major contribution to JFK Assassination research, demystifying and correcting much of what has been erroneously reported, falsely assumed, and repeatedly passed along without critical reevaluation.

A must-read for anyone interested in JFK
One thing Bart Kamp's "Prayer Man" makes clear is that there is/was a recurring theme in the Warren Commission's records concerning the assassination of JFK. Several people felt sure that their official statements had been modified after they signed their name. Things they did not say had been added, and things they DID say were not in their statements. Too many for each of them to simply be mistaken about their statements. Making matters worse, and more predictable, every single modification changed the overall conclusion to assign guilt to Lee Harvey Oswald.
Focusing on reports made by multiple "detectives" and interviewers from several angles, Kamp highlights the frightening incompetence of the 1960s Dallas Police Department, the FBI, and the Secret Service. The FBI was not incompetent. They just needed the evidence to point to Oswald, and didn't care who did it.
Kamp also took the time to link to the URLs he references. While I appreciate the effort, many of the links are broken, and don't work, for a variety of reasons. When I add a link to a resource in any of MY books, I add the resource to my server and link my book to it do that I can control it. I would never provide a link that had a chance of going 404.
The manuscript desperately needed a couple more rounds of editing. There are a few duplications and multiple errors and inconsistencies throughout. But don't let that stop you from reading it. This book must have taken years to research, compile, and present in a cleverly organized format.
If you are curious about JFK or Oswald, or if you are a seasoned JFK researcher, you're going to want to read this book.

Get a free copy of the Warren Commission and read it. Over two-thirds of this book is a complete repeat of WC testimony with authors added comments. Highly disappointed in this book and its premise. Into the dustbin of conspiracy theories run amuck. Zzzzzzz.

Fantastic read
So full of information
Nothing to dispute. Really confirms the mess they made of it. You need a good memory to be a liar.
