Description

Five decades after one of America’s greatest tragedies, this compelling book pierces the veil of secrecy to document the small, tightly held conspiracy that killed President John F. Kennedy. It explains why he was murdered, and how it was done in a way that forced many records to remain secret for decades.

The Hidden History of the JFK Assassination draws on exclusive interviews with more than two dozen associates of John and Robert Kennedy, in addition to former FBI, Secret Service, military-intelligence, and Congressional personnel, who provided critical first-hand information. The book also details the FBI confessions of notorious Mafia godfathers Carlos Marcello and Santo Trafficante to reveal exactly who killed JFK.

Using files and information that have never been published before, Lamar Waldron fully explains for the first time how Marcello and Trafficante committed — and got away with — the crime of the twentieth century.

Critic Reviews

‘True or not, this makes one hell of a story and ties up all the pesky loose ends of events in Dallas 50 years ago. The conspiracy crowd will love it.’
