Description

For fifty 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.

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 every piece of evidence and 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.

    It's an amazing book, but for some reason the i-book has removed the photo pages (about 30+ pages I've read). Where are they? The book often refers to photos that are absent. Frustrating.

    I live in Dallas, have read many many books on the assassination , and consider my self a logical man of intellect. I am honestly ashamed that I EVER believed any Conspiracy existed, and have zero doubt about the actual facts after reading this. Very few books I have ever read can actually " reclaim history" Mr. Bugliosi has done so with this masterpiece. Thank you for the investment of thousands of hours to make sure future generations know the truth. It was time well spent.

    I am not a conspiracy theorist by a long long shot ... but nor do I buy what the Government says hook line and sinker. I can answer the question "Where were you when Kennedy was shot?" and the 50 year debate was never one for me. We believe what we want to believe. My gut feeling has always been what Vincent proves here, many times over, beyond -any- doubt. Once again, well done indeed.
  • No conspiracy.

    I'm a sophomore in high school and this was my summer reading assignment. Before reading this I was almost positive that there was a conspiracy; but this book convinced me otherwise. This is an extremely long book but it brings basically every aspect of JFK's assassination to life.
  • Fantastic!
