About this listen

'It might not be in your lifetime,' said the Chief Justice of the United States when asked whether the files on the assassination of President Kennedy would be made public. If the President was killed by a lone gunman, as the first official enquiry claimed, why can we still not see all relevant records?

Fifty years on and the murder of the century remains unsolved. Drawing on 30 years of investigation, Anthony Summers examines the case in compelling, forensic detail. He analyses the evidence for Oswald's guilt, the Mafia connection, and the links to Cuba and reveals, for the first time, a plausible admission of involvement.

Definitive

This is the fourth book on the Kennedy assassination I have read (or in this case, had read to me) and despite also watching just about every documentary I could lay my hands on only now do I feel like I know all the facts and am able to make an educated assessment of the events of that faithful day in Dallas.

Books reviews aren't really my thing but I'll go ahead and say that if you have an interest in the JFK assassination and have your own theories but don't really know all the facts then I cannot recommend this book enough. One of the few that doesn't seem to have an agenda.

On a side note I'm gonna miss the narrator now it's over.

A must read for any Kennedy buff

I was left wanting more then this book came to an end. It covers all areas concerning JFK assassination and leaves it up to you to best decide what happened. highly recommended.

Loved it'~thought provoking, sad, informative and challenging. Leaves so many questions and anger that public bodies act intheir best interests and not the people's.
Would recommend this in a heartbeat.

Best yet

Having read loads of books and information about 22.11.63, this book informed me more than I could imagine. Factual and detailed, it's one I'd get if I'd just started researching.

An average listen at best

Personally for me, this audible book focuses on nearly every theory that could of occurred in the conspiracy of JFK's death. I did not enjoy the book as I do not believe Cuba or the mafia had any involvement in his death. If you are still undecided on who you may believe was involved in the death or it is your first audible book on this theory then you may enjoy. If like me you have read other books and watched various documentaries then I would avoid it.

2013 review and study of the JFK Assassination

This book is a sort of updated 2013 equivalent of Sylvia Meagher's famous 1967 book "Accessories after the fact" It is however not nearly as comprehensive and Anthony Summer's book lacks the tenacious bite of Mrs Meagher's fantastic original work.
Anthony Summers is no Sylvia Meagher.

That said this is a worthy enough book which plots its well evidenced way through the majority of the storyline. The Oswald alleged visit to Mexico part is very well researched and explained. The author very much sticks with the known facts and avoids outlandish theories. Disappointingly there is nothing about the curious goings on re the JFK medical evidence or the Zapruder film.

This book is very professionally and well narrated although I must confess I did miss Noah Michael Levine from Accessories after the fact.

Comprehensive review

usual problem with these books in that the author doesn't really nail his flag to the mast and reveal a conclusion. it's left to the reader to come up with one
