Pete Mellor Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 As an avid reader of assassination books, and ready to receive recommendations from the many knowledgeable members of this forum....what publications on this subject do you consider essential inclusions to a library. Attempting to be brief, here are some of mine to start the ball rolling. (I don't say I go along with the full theories of some of these, but value the depth of research.) Accessories after the fact. Sylvia Meagher. Best Evidence. David Lifton. JFK Ordeal in Africa. Richard Mahoney. Crossfire. Jim Marrs. All of John Newman's books. Deep politics & death of JFK. Peter Dale Scott. Bloody Treason. Noel Twyman. Harvey & Lee. John Armstrong. Farewell to Justice. Joan Mellen. JFK & the Unspeakable. James Douglass. Into the Nightmare. Joe McBride. Inside the A.R.R.B. (5 Vols.) Doug Horne. The Incubus of Intervention. Greg Poulgrain. + on Kindle The Master Chronology set. Walt Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kishan Dandiker Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) Gaeton Fonzi, the last investigation Jim Garrison, On the Trail of the Assassins Josiah Thompson, Six Seconds in Dallas Jim Dieugenio, Destiny Betrayed Need to read Meagher and Lifton's books properly. I have them but only used them as a reference for a speech I gave. The updated version of Crossfire is the best overall summary of the case against the Warren Commission Edited May 2, 2020 by Kishan Dandiker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W. Niederhut Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 The Assassinations anthology, edited by James DiEugenio, is a great collection of essays. How about L. Fletcher Prouty's book, JFK, the CIA, and Vietnam? It was one of the first JFKA books I ever read, (a few years ago) after watching Oliver Stone's film, JFK, and learning that the character Mr. X (Donald Sutherland) was mainly based on USAF Col. L. Fletcher Prouty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prouty book title I have is The CIA, Vietnam & the plot to assassinate John F. Kennedy (2009) which I assume is the same book. I also have The Secret Team.

Fancy picking Mellen's book on the Garrison case instead of Destiny Betrayed.....even after you signed my copy! I'll get my coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switched to Lisa Pease, there it is. https://www.amazon.com/Assassinations-Probe-Magazine-JFK-Malcolm-ebook/dp/B005CI168U/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=lisa+pease+the+assassinations&qid=1588465346&s=books&sr=1-1 Great articles in it by both. Also, I'd add to your list, Devil's Chessboard, David Talbot In the Eye of History, William Law Last Word/Plausible Denial, Mark Lane Survivor's Guilt, Vince Palamara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since posting I've discovered The Assassinations tucked away on my Kindle!! Maybe it's senility creeping in. + those four additions are great books too which I have.

Is Salandria still alive? From what I've seen it seems like he is. By all accounts is a very tough man so not too much of a surprise. Think he's around 94.

Cliff Varnell Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) I’m a student in the Vincent Salandria School of Research into the Obvious. (My name for standing on his shoulders.) It’s obvious from the bullet holes in the clothes and the contemporaneous written notes of witnesses in position of authority that JFK had a shallow wound of entrance in his back at T3 and an entrance wound in the throat. I’ve long been unpleasantly surprised by the JFKA Critical Master Class resistance to these root facts. Salandria wrote about these root facts back in 1965. A lot of Name Experts still haven’t figured it out. https://www.maryferrell.org/pages/Essay_-_A_Philadelphia_Lawyer_Analyzes_the_Presidents_Back_and_Neck_Wounds.html Edited May 3, 2020 by Cliff Varnell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Thorne Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Good list so far. I’ll add Mal Hyman’s Burying the Lead, which is very solid. I’m reading it right now. Donald Gibson’s two books are also recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
