AA.VV.

CD-Rom

A Certain Arrogance

Evica George Michael
2011

Conspiracy Book. "The Sacrificing of Lee Harvey Oswald and the Cold War Manipulation of Religious Groups by US Intelligence."
"In eight interrelated essays, the late George Michael Evica begins with the spectacle of Earl Warren deflecting and quickly burying an inconvenient FBI report on Oswald, then launches the reader into a world of lies, deception and cynical manipulation, where spymasters of the U.S. and Soviet Union actually worked together when their espionage industry was threatened by dreaded peace initiatives."

A cruel and shocking act
[The secret history of the Kennedy assassination]

Philip Shenon
2013

From back cover:
A groundbreaking, explosive account of the Kennedy assassination that will rewrite the history of the 20th century's most controversial murder investigation
The questions have haunted USA for half a century: Was the President killed by a single gunman? Was Lee Harvey Oswald part of a conspiracy? Did the Warren Commission discover the whole truth of what happened on November 22, 1963?
Philip Shenon, a veteran investigative journalist who spent most of his career at The New York Times, finally provides many of the answers. Though A Cruel and Shocking Act began as Shenon's attempt to write the first insider's history of the Warren Commission, it quickly became something much larger and more important when he discovered startling information that was withheld from the Warren Commission by the CIA, FBI and others in power in Washington. Shenon shows how the commission's ten-month investigation was doomed to fail because the man leading it – Chief Justice Earl Warren – was more committed to protecting the Kennedy family than getting to the full truth about what happened on that tragic day. A taut, page-turning narrative, Shenon's book features some of the most compelling figures of the twentieth century—Bobby Kennedy, Jackie Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, J. Edgar Hoover, Chief Justice Warren, CIA spymasters Allen Dulles and Richard Helms, as well as the CIA's treacherous “molehunter,” James Jesus Angleton.
Based on hundreds of interviews and unprecedented access to the surviving commission staffers and many other key players, Philip Shenon's authoritative, scrupulously researched book will forever change the way we think about the Kennedy assassination and about the deeply flawed investigation that followed.

A Secret Order
[Investigating the High Strangeness and Synchronicity in the JFK Assassination]

Albarelli H.P. Jr
2013

From back cover :
"H.P.Albarelli's A Secret Order is a stunning, surprising and shocking journey down one of history's deepest and most confusing rabbit holes : the assassination of President John F.Kennedy. No event in the history of the United States has been more studied, investigated and written about than the grisly murder of the 35th President of US. Credibly and consistently, Albarelli reveals many new details surrounding the assassination that not only set the official stories - along with ample conspiracy theories - on their heads, but perhaps even redefine the term "conspiracy theory" in the process.
A Secret Order offers readers amazingly fresh insights into alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald and his much-ignored boyhood sojourn in New York City, as well as unique and mesmerizing portraits of many of the overlooked characters surrounding the assassination. Albarelli's revelations about Lee Harvey Oswald's time in Mexico City are intriguing and further explain what actually occurred there. Also revelatory is the author's astounding information on the nexus between behavior modification and assassinations."

Act of Treason
[The role of J.Edgar Hoover in the Assassination of President Kennedy]

Mark North
1991

Conspiracy book.
In this meticulously researched classic of the JFK conspiracy genre, Mark North argues that President John F. Kennedy died as the result of a plot masterminded by Louisiana Mafia chieftain Carlos Marcello—and, more importantly, that FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover learned early on about the plan but did nothing to stop it. Hoover warned no one—not the Dallas police, not the Secret Service. His motives, North suggests, stemmed from a fervent hatred of Kennedy and fear that the President would eventually fire him. He is documented as a close confidant of Vice President Lyndon Johnson—a man Hoover "controlled" due to blackmail and scandals. Hoover’s day–to–day running of the FBI, his strange personality, and his backroom dealings are brought to life using an extensive collection of press clippings, government documents, and other original sources.

A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of 2013

Appointment in Dallas:
the final solution to the assassination of JFK

McDonald Hugh C.
1975

Conspiracy book.
from the Publishers:
"In June 1975, a reputable literary agent introduced Zebra Books to a man and a story. The story was hard to believe; the man was not.
High C.McDonald is a veteran law enforcement officer who supplied credentials which, to us, were outstanding.
We are aware that APPOINTMENT IN DALLAS is a controversial book. The story Hugh McDonald tells adds further doubt to the already questioned Warren Commission Report. There will be those who will try to smear McDonald's story. Andpheraps if this story was told by a man with credentials other than those of Hugh McDonald, it would be inconceivable.
Zebra is publishing APPOINTMENT IN DALLAS because we believe no one has the right to hold back a shred of information that may possibly throw even the faintest light on one of the darkest moment in our history".

Fagin Stephen
2013

The shots that killed President John F.Kennedy in Novembre 1963 were fired from the sixth floor of a nondescript warehouse at the edge of Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas. That floor in Texas School Book Depository became a museum exhibit in 1989 and was designated part of a National Historic Landmark District in 1993.
This book recounts the slow and painful process by which a city and a nation came to terms with their collective memory of the assassination and its aftermath.

Beyond the fence line

Quinlan Casey J. and Edwards Brian K.

 The Eyewitness account of Ed Hoffman and the murder of President Kennedy.
From the back cover of this book :
"On November 22,1963, President John Kennedy was murdered in front of hundreds of people in Dealey Plaza.

Broken Silence

Brown Ray "Tex"
with Don Lasseter
1996

 From the back cover of this book:
"After thirty years of silence, Ray "Tex" Brown reveals :

- the shocking private conversations between Ruby and Brown prior to his murder of Oswald

Frankly a not-credible book, in my opinion.

Carlos Marcello, il boss che odiava i Kennedy
Vaccara Stefano
2013

Italian book.
Journalist born in Sicily, Stefano Vaccara teaches two courses in Mafia history at Herbert Lehman College, CUNY. He lives with his wife and son in Brooklyn, New York.
New Orleans is the true birthplace of the Sicilian mafia in America. Carlos Marcello controlled organized crime in Louisiana and across the southeast in the 1950s and 60s. He was untouchable until he met the Kennedy Brothers. Once Robert Kennedy became attorney general, Marcello was deported to Guatemala and swore to seek revenge. It became a duel to the death.
This is a conspiracy book, linking Carlos Marcello, New Orleans Mafia boss, to JFK Assassination.

Clay Shaw Trial Transcripts
AA.VV.
1969

On March 1, 1967, New Orleans businessman Clay Shaw was arrested for conspiracy in the murder of President John F. Kennedy. The arrest followed an investigation by the office of New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, and the murder of prime suspect David Ferrie. Nearly two years later, the case went to trial (see the Orleans Parish Grand Jury transcripts for grand jury testimony during the intervening period).
The trial opened with witnesses from Clinton, Louisiana, who described an event wherein they witnessed Shaw and Oswald together. There was also testimony on the question of whether Clay Shaw was Clay Bertrand, an alias for the man Dean Andrews told the Warren Commission tried to hire him to defend Oswald after the assassination. Ultimately, the case for a murder conspiracy hung on the testimony of Perry Russo, who described being at a party with Shaw, Ferrie, and Oswald, in which a murder plot involving triangulation of gunfire was discussed.
The trial lasted about three weeks, and went to the jury on the evening of February 28, 1969. In the wee hours of March 1, almost exactly two years after his arrest, Clay Shaw was acquitted.

Conspiracy Files : The JFK Assassination
DVD
Discovery Channel
2006

It's been more than 45 yrs since John F.Kennedy was gunned down while driving past Dallas's Dealey plaza, and most Americans are still not sure who was responsible.
The majority believes Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone, infact recent polls show that up to 70% feel it was part of a broader plot. Was it a shadow government of the rich and right wing that ordered Kennedy killed? Did Cuban exiles or even Fidel Castro organize the murder? Or was it a plot by a national or international agency? The CIA perhaps? The FBI? Or the KGB? This programme delves into many of the various conspiracy theories that surround this infamous assassination and aims to find exactly which theory seems the most plausible.

Conspiracy of One
Moore Jim
1990

"The definitive book on the Kennedy Assassination"
"With publishers rushing to release sensational books without substance, it takes nerve to reverse that trend. 'Conspiracy of One' is a return to sound thinking and research. It is a must read chronicle of an investigation...its conclusions are most thought-provoking".

Contract on America
Scheim David E.
1988

Conspiracy book.
Author David E.Scheim offers what he thinks it is a chilling underwood scheme to control the government of the United States of America through fear, extortion and cold-blooded murder...a terrifying conspiracy that,he thinks, didn't end on a Dallas street on Nov.63, but continued unabated to his days (he wrote the book in 1988).

Coup d'Etat in America
[The CIA and the Assassination of John F.Kennedy]
Alan J.Weberman
Michael Canfield

Covering the Body
[The Kennedy Assassination, the Media and the Shaping of Collective memory]
Zelizer Barbie
1992

Images of the assassination of John F.Kennedy are burned deeply into the memories of millions who watched the events of November 1963 unfold live on television. Never before had America seen an event of this magnitude as it happened.
But what is it we remember? How did the near chaos of the shooting and its aftermath get transformed into a seamless story of epic proportions? In this book, Barbie Selizer explores the way we learned about and came to make sense of the killing of the president.
COVERING THE BODY (the title refers to the charge given journalists to follow a president) is a powerful reassessment of the media's role in shaping our collective memory of the assassination. At the same time, it shows how the media used the assassination coverage to legitimize their role as official interpreters of American reality.
Of the more than fifty reporters covering Kennedy in Dallas, no one actually saw the assassination. And faced with a monumentally important story that was continually breaking, most journalists had no time to verify leads or substantiate reports. Rather, they took discrete moments of their stories and turned them into one coherent narrative, blurring what was and was not "professional" about their coverage.
Through incisive analyses of the many accounts and investigations in the years since the shooting, Zelizer reveals how journalists used the assassination not just to relay the news but to address the issues they saw as central to the profession and to promote themselves as cultural authorities. Indeed, argues Zelizer, these motivations are still alive and are at the core of the controversy surrounding Oliver Stone's movie, JFK.
At its heart, COVERING THE BODY raises serious questions about the role of the media in defining our reality, and shaping our myths and memories. In tracing how journalists attempted to answer questions that still trouble most Americans, Zelizer offers a fascinating analysis of the role of the media as cultural authorities.

Dallas Fifty years on : The murder of John F.Kennedy
Taylor Blaine
2013

Book written in the 50th Anniversary of JFK Assassination.
From back cover:
JFK had won the Presidency in 1960 by a razor thin majority, and his re-election campaign for 1964 was expected to be as close. He began it in November 1963 with a kick-off multi-city, four-day swing across the important state of Texas. It was going unexpectedly well when shots were fired into his triumphant motorcade in downtown Dallas that ripped history apart, changing it forever The assassination of American President John F. Kennedy in 1963 came at the very height of both the Cold War following the Second World War and the Pax Americana that was thought to exist at the war's conclusion in 1945. The United States and its allies possessed a far greater number of nuclear weapons than their Soviet adversaries, but the latter could unleash World War 3 and a nuclear Armageddon that would destroy them all. The sudden and totally unexpected murder in broad daylight in an American city of one of the most popular presidents in history was the murder mystery of the 20th century. The Cold War could have become hot and nuclear within minutes. The murderer had to be found and vital questions had to be answered quickly. Who did it, why and who ordered Kennedy's assassination? Was the deed part of a conspiracy: foreign, domestic or both? Were none of the these questions part of the bloody puzzle and was it entirely possible that only one man was responsible? The questions remain to this very day and "Dallas Fifty Years On: The Murder of John F. Kennedy" reveals sensational new evidence, eyewitness accounts and top secret documentation.

Deep Politics and the Death of JFK
Dale Scott Peter

"In his long awaited magnum opus... Scott does not offer a "who done it". Instead, he uses the assassination as a point of entry for an extended tour through little known, long buried, and truly disturbing regions of American politics"
Jonathan Marshall, Tikkun

  Did the Mob kill JFK?
Discovery Channel
2009

Based on historian Lamar Waldron' startling book, this programme presents compelling evidence that the Mafia was behind the assassination of President John F.Kennedy. After almost half a century in the shadows an FBI informant has come forward to give an explosive, never before seen interview that gives details of the very man who ordered the hit. This man shared a prison cell with Carlos Marcello, the notorius New Orleans godfather, who confessed to him that he had orchestrated the president's murder.
"Did the Mob kill JFK?" backs this up as it tracks Marcello's links with both Lee Harvey Oswald and Oswald's assassin, Jack Ruby. It also draws on the testimony of historians, investigators and eyewitnesses, including an interview with former Secret Service agent Abraham Bolden, who claims an aborted attempt on the President's life in Chicago early in November was covered up. This simply is a must-watch for all those intrigued by the mistery that surrounds the assassination of John F.Kennedy.

  Dr. Mary's Monkey
Haslam Edward T.

On the cover : "How the unsolved murder of a doctor, a secret laboratory in New Orleans and cancer-causing monkey viruses are linked to Lee Harvey Oswald, the JFK assassination and emerging global epidemics".
On the backcover : "When New Orleans native Ed Haslam began his modest investigation into the curious life and shocking death of the brilliant Tulane medical professor Dr. Mary Sherman, he couldn't have imagined that this inquiry would connect some of the city's most prominent citizens to "lone nut" Lee Harvey Oswald, to the Mafia, and to forces high inside the U.S. Government - nor that these new discoveries would ultimately change our understanding of a fateful November day in Dallas. But they have!".

Eddie Barker's Notebook
Barker Eddie & Dempsey John Mark
2006

November 22nd,1963. The date alone brings to mind a thousand images and a rush of emotion even to people who were not alive at the time of John F.Kennedy's assassination.
As news director and anchor of KRLD-TV, Channel 4, then the CBS affiliate in Dallas, Eddie Barker stationed himself as the Trade Mart where Kennedy was to speak. Of course, the President never arrived. And so, Barker found himself ad-libbing on the air, knowing that something terrible has happened but not exactly sure of what is was. When a doctor acquintance from nearby Parkland Hosptal whispered the awful news in his ear, Eddie made what has been called "the greatest snap evaluation of a source in broadcasting history". Eddie Barker became the first reporter to announce to America that John F.Kennedy was dead.
Certainly Barker's reporting on the assassination and all the other events closely associated with it are at the heart of this book. But this is also a book by one of the true pioneers of local television news.
From the embryonic days of local TV news, swiping stories from the local newspapers and holding up wire-service photos on camera, to the days of true electronic news gathering, Eddie Barker was there. Barker is one of the handful of broadcast journalists who shaped what we take for granted today as local news.

Enemy of the Truth
[Myths, Forensics and the Kennedy Assassination]
Fiester Sherry P.
2012

From Jim Marrs' Foreword :
"Sherry Fiester, a longtime student of forensic science, who separates scientific fact from informed speculation and uninformed theories, is now sharing her expertise. She undertakes to break out JFK assassination myths from demonstrable forensic fact, not an easy task considering the obfuscation and deceit long documented in the JFK case. Right off the bat, Fiester lays to rest the myth that the Dallas Police Department exercised all due diligence in following accepted protocols in the acquisition, handling and securing of assassination evidence. They did not."

Eyewitness to History
Brennan Howard L.
with
 Cherryholmes J.E.

1987

Among the hundreds of people who waited in Dealy Plaza for the JFK motorcade to pass, only one person was able to identify Lee Harvey Oswald as the lone gunman firing from the Texas School Book Depository. Howard Brennan was seated directly in front of the building and was able to get a clear view of the assassin as he fired at the President's car.
Other than the Warren Commission, and a brief statement to CBS, he refused all other interviews. In 1983 his pastor, the Rev.Edward Cherryholmes convinced Mr Brennan that he should tell his story so that future generations will know the truth. Shortly before his death in December of 1983 from heart disease, he read the finished manuscript as told to Rev.Cherryholmes.
This copy of the book is signed by Rev.Edward Cherryholmes.

False Mystery
[
Essays on the Assassination of JFK]
Salandria Vincent J.
2004

From back cover:
"This volume assembles, for the first time, the historic work of Vincent J.Salandria.
One of the "first generation" critics of the Warren Commission, Salandria's article in the Novembre 2, 1964 'Philadelphia Legal Intelligencer' was the first published article to critically review the conclusions of the Warren Report.
It and subsequent articles demonstrated the fallacy of the Commission finding that a single, unassisted gunman shot and killed the thirty-fifth President of the United States, and advanced the notion that a "false mystery" has allowed the greatest crime of the twentieth century to remain officially unsolved."
