Additional Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy Information

For over forty years the truth about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy has been obscured. This book releases us from a crippling distortion of American history. This extraordinary and historic book required twenty years to research and write. The oft-challenged findings of the Warren Commission—Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, shot and killed President John F. Kennedy—are here confirmed beyond all doubt. But Reclaiming History does much more than that. In addition to providing a powerful and unprecedented narrative of events and a biography of the assassin, it confronts and destroys every one of the conspiracy theories that have grown up since the assassination, exposing their selective use of evidence, flawed logic, and outright deceptions. So thoroughly documented, so compellingly lucid in its conclusions, Reclaiming History is, in a sense, the investigation that completes the work of the Warren Commission. In it, Vincent Bugliosi, the nation's foremost prosecutor, takes on the most important murder in American history.

At 1:00 p.m. on November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was pronounced dead, the victim of a sniper attack during his motorcade through Dallas. That may be the only fact generally agreed upon in the vast literature spawned by the assassination. National polls reveal that an overwhelming majority of Americans (75%) believe that there was a high-level conspiracy behind Lee Harvey Oswald. Many even believe that Oswald was entirely innocent. In this continuously absorbing, powerful, ground-breaking book, Vincent Bugliosi shows how we have come to believe such lies about an event that changed the course of history.

The brilliant prosecutor of Charles Manson and the man who forged an iron-clad case of circumstantial guilt around O. J. Simpson in his best-selling Outrage Bugliosi is perhaps the only man in America capable of writing the definitive book on the Kennedy assassination. This is an achievement that has for years seemed beyond reach. No one imagined that such a book would ever be written: a single volume that once and for all resolves, beyond any reasonable doubt, every lingering question as to what happened in Dallas and who was responsible.

There have been hundreds of books about the assassination, but there has never been a book that covers the entire case, including addressing each and every conspiracy theory and the facts, or alleged facts, on which they are based. In this monumental work, the author has raised scholarship on the assassination to a new and final level, one that far surpasses all other books on the subject. It adds resonance, depth, and closure to the admirable work of the Warren Commission.

Reclaiming History is a narrative compendium of fact, forensic evidence, reexamination of key witnesses, and common sense. Every detail and nuance is accounted for, every conspiracy theory revealed as a fraud on the American public. Bugliosi's irresistible logic, command of the evidence, and ability to draw startling inferences shed fresh light on this American nightmare. At last it all makes sense. 32 pages of illustrations.

 

What Customers Say About Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy:

Now all I need to do is decide which of the doctors, policemen, CIA agents, and witnesses were working with which gunman. But fear not conspiracy buffs, there is a way around this evidence. Here's what they do; they draw a picture of Kennedy and Connelly seated directly in line and then they draw the path of a curving bullet and say, "Ah ha, there you have it, proof that the single bullet theory is wrong." But when you draw Kennedy and Connelly's postitions correctly, with Connelly on the jump seat slightly below and to the left of Kennedy, the wounds line up perfectly with a shot fired from the snipers nest. Jack Ruby, Jack Kennedy.

OH, I like this. Get it. (Can you even imagine the reaction of the buffs if it were the other way around, if 98% of the witnesses had said they heard shots from more than one location. Kennedy is clearly blocking the entry wound on Connelly.

Someone snuck into his home and replaced the curtain rods that he meant to take to work with him with a rifle that they bought under his name. If 95% of the earwitnesses had heard 4 or more shots they would be bouncing off the walls claiming this was proff of a second gunman. So not only is it possible that they were hit by the same bullet, it is IMPOSSIBLE that they weren't. Here's how the world works in Conspiracy Land. Think they'd take that to the bank as proof of a conspiracy.

A bit long and drawn out, but one more sane voice in the wilderness trying to talk the conspiracy theorists off the ledge. Ruby, as in Jack Ruby. Lee Harvey Oswald actually tried to prevent the assassination and THAT is how his prints got all over the snipers nest. And never mind that only 2% of those interviewed said the shots came from more than one location, that too is a trivial matter when you're convinced that a second shooter was on the grassy knoll. And, come on, his name was Jack. In the meantime, a second gunman was positioned behind the grassy knoll because if you're going to hire a marksman to shoot the president you are obviously willing to risk blowing the whole deal by having a second man exposed and vunerable to capture just to have a backup.

But it will be, I'm certain, to no avail. While Oswald was having lunch, a gunman shot Kennedy and then raced downstairs and persuaded him to flee the building, kill a police officer, and hide in a theater. (They also tricked him into posing with it for a picture taken by his wife). I think I'm on to something here, it was a murder/suicide plot by Kennedy, who once ate a Cuban sandwich while meeting with a CIA agent named Johnson at a Russian tea room where they talked about the mafia. Don't be naive people. It's so obvious, Kennedy must have been in on the conspiracy.

By shear coincidence two seperate groups picked the exact same moment to shoot the president.

Or, better still, what if the two gunmen didn't KNOW about each other.

You see, Kennedy must have shot Connelly.

This only makes sense.

But when 95% of the witnesses claim there were 3 shots or less, as they actually do, it proves nothing to a conspiracy buff.

That's it, I'm starting my book.

After all, wasn't Jackie wearing a RUBY ring.

Hmmm).

(Isn't there always).

Wake up world, Oswald was in the wrong place at the right time. Mafia leaders hired killers to take out JFK to get back at his brother because Bobby was harassing the mob. The Mafia knew if they killed JFK, Bobby would lose his power in trying to jail some of the Mafia leaders. If this author thinks that Oswald was involved in killing JFK then he is living in a dream world. Oswald didn't even fire a shot. Oswald was their "pasty" Oswald even said it himself. Just ask the Mafia. Jack Rudy was working with the Mafia and they hired him to take out Oswald because they were afraid he would talk about how the Mafia was working with the CIA in Cuba to take out Castro.

It teaches you how to reach a rational, compelling conclusion based on evidence and reason not on emotion or conjecture. This book does much more that establish the truth for what happened on November 22 - it teaches you how to think logically. Unquestionably the book of the year for me. It recaptures your ability to think historically once again. >How to stick to the evidence. >How to stick to common sense.

All this clearly points to Oswald as the trigger man and plainly refutes any opinion to the contrary. Chapter upon chapter and fact upon fact follow in sections devoted to the autopsy, the Zapruder film, Oswald's actions/character and the conspiracy possibility. Tippet and all the other theories have at best circumstantial attributes and pure nonsense at worse. Again, it didn't take me long to realize that this evidence made perfect sense to the thinking person.Admittedly it is a struggle to get through this monolith.most reviewers report months and sometimes years of reading to finish (I finished in 8 months), but if one is truly after the facts and the natural conclusion of those facts than it's worth the journey. I don't think it's possible.In reading this book one is constantly hammered with clear thought and evidence of Oswald's crime. I have long been puzzled by the notion that JFK was killed by someone other than Lee Harvey Oswald.

It wasn't until Vince Bugliosi penned this marvelous paragon to the crime that my feelings were affirmed.To say that this work is comprehensive is short changing it.over 1500 pages of text and 800 pages of endnotes filled with detailed research and clear logic should certainly be enough to convince even the most strident THOUGHTFUL conspiracy theorist that there IS an answer to this crime: Oswald acted alone both in the murder of JFK and J.D. Bugliosi's mastering of the Warren Commission report and supporting evidence used in that report clearly debunk the detractors of that document. My early uninformed reading and research on this matter naturally led me to believe that a conspiracy was possible (if it wasn't than why so much dispute). The first section "Four Days in November" recounts the assassination in narrative form similar in pace and detail to his account of the Manson murders in "Helter Skelter". Read it and decide for yourself. As I read further, it became clear to me that these theories were incomplete and pejorative.how could anyone who approached this crime thoughtfully and with a modicum of common sense conclude that someone other than Oswald killed JFK.

I'd challenge anyone who is reasonably open minded to come away from this work without at least some doubt concerning a conspiracy and some motivation to find evidence to the contrary.

It was not. Even the references to Meyer Lansky did not mention "Jews" or "Israel."Backing up this claim, is a book, listed on Amazon, in its sixth edition, "Final Judgment" by Michael Collins Piper, 2005; this book supposedly details this alleged Israel, Mossad, CIA conspiracy (motive: JFK was holding up Israel's development of the "Bomb"). I am a retired forensic pathologist and agree completely with the autopsy analysis. Since the author mentions every least crackpot who has ever been unearthed in this horrible affair, I find this lack of coverage, unbelievable and probably negligent, unless I am somehow way off the mark for a reason I can't figure out. So I replied, "I'm sure Bugliosi covered that in his exhaustive book." I looked through the index and the CD of endnotes, and astonishingly could not find ONE WORD mentioning those alleged conspirators. I have placed these remarks concerning Mr.

I have read, very carefully 1/3 of the book, and skimmed the rest, becoming more and more impressed by the meticulous assemblage of facts and details and the logic with which the author has seemingly dismantled every possible conspiracy theory. Surely this plot should have been covered by Bugliosi, even with a quick dismissal. Bugliosi's book as a comment elsewhere. None, nada. I'll mention, I have not (yet) bought the Piper book, unwilling to chase phantom rabbits down holes unless I get some more clues. The book happened to be on sale for $10 last year, so I said, "why not try it." Lately there was a TV reminiscence of the assassination, and that renewed my attention to the subject.

Mr Bugliosi has put a tremendous effort into dismantling practically all the myths and folklore and scientific misconceptions about this affair.Recently, however, a friend brought up the issue of Israel and the Mossad (their spy agency), and an alleged CIA conspiracy with those two entities.
