Yes, Rene Dussaq is an interesting character, and Mr. Wilcox is fascinated by him. He goes to great lengths to give as much detail to the many exploits of Dussaq, but he takes too long to get to the part about President Kennedy. After all, the title suggests that this story is about the President's death. At Chapter 22, I began to lose interest- still no mention of Kennedy. The story is only to the 1950's. I am disappointed and feel a bit tricked by the title.

Title of the book mentions JFK, but he isn't even mentioned until the second half of the book, and even then barely. This book should really be titled "The Life of Rene Dussaq" or something like that. Maybe then I wouldn't have wasted multiple hours of my life thinking I would learn something about the JFK assignation.

Merged review:

I wrote it. I like it. Great story and hopefully it will be a breakthrough in the mystery of JFK's assassination. It is based on secret diaries. They come from the heart of clandestine at the time JFK was murdered. While the book begins during World War II, the story has its genesis in Cuba of the 1930s and continues until the present day. At it's heart, it's the story of an OSS hero, master spy, Olympic athlete, Hollywood stuntman and world adventurer. He was a man of many talents and great courage. The question is: was he also a black knight? That's for the reader to decide - and why this book is an exciting read. It's an untold story that even JFK researchers have never heard. The book will be published in November 2016. Pre-orders will get buyers the first editions before books are on the shelves. Once you've read it, let me know on my website what you think - Robert K.

Target: JFK The Spy Who Killed Kennedy? Is more of a WWII adventure than an assessment of Rene Dussaq's possible involvement in the plot to assassinate Kennedy. Very little of the book is devoted to the events leading up to and following the assassination, but it is interesting nonetheless. Dussaq and Bazata, both WWII heroes with CIA connections, bring enough excitement to this story even without much on the actual assassination.

[Shawn McCormick · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a book about Rene Dussaq and is potential involvement in the assassination of President Kennedy in Dallas in November of 1963. It's a book of some 337 pages. The name 'Kennedy' first appears on page 212 and thereafter is mentioned sparingly until the assassination theory is actually laid out on pages 303-307. If you want to learn how Rene supposedly was involved in the crime, jump directly to page 303.

All that said, it is a bit of an interesting read about a war hero, stuntman, deep sea treasure hunter turned Prudential salesman. I knew going into this that it wasn't all about Kennedy, so I'm fine with it. But only fine. It's not a great book but has a few nuggets to tuck into my Kennedy assassination trunk of knowledge.

[Mr · Rating 1 out of 5]

Weak argument for this stuntman as assassin or conspirator. First 90% of book doesn't even mention JFK , it is a biography of Rene Dussaq. I have no doubt he was an Argentinian Cuban communist national but the details of the assassination are all conveniently after the fact, e.g. let's leave bullet marks here and there, let's have people shouting out misdirection of shots fired. Easy to say, now.

I have mixed opinions about this book. I like how Mr. Wilcox presented the information and let me decide if what he had found during his research was plausible. There are two main characters in the book: Rene A. Dussaq and Douglas Bazata.
The information presented on Dussaq was disjointed and hard to follow. I didn't care for that.

The information presented on Bazata was written much more logically. It was almost like two separate people wrote this book, then put it together.

[Ellison · Rating 3 out of 5]

Goes on for over two hundred pages of character study and background. The a rant against Kennedy followed by how the whole thing could possible have gone. B/W photos.

[Nelson Young · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very interesting read - I'm not convinced that the premise was necessarily "proven" but the author does present a fair amount of information that at the very least makes you consider that it could possibly be plausible, maybe...... Overall, I gave it four stars because it was interesting and entertaining.
