Books number 60 ? Tips ?

[Jean Ceulemans]

Below is a list of books I have, or have recently ordered.  That is, within the JFKA theme.   I have always been a book collector and I especially like reading bio's of witnesses, personnal accounts of agency personnel,  thngs like that.   I'm still going for the paper version, cover-type doesn't really matter to me (ofcourse a signed copy is always a nice touch).And if only a downloadeble version is available I'll print it.   Witness-books are often smaller books,  publisched in low numbers and as such hard to get.   Or essays, or a simple bundle of information handed out at conferences. But to find them, I have to know the title, author and if possible year of publication,  In case you know of considerably different editions of the same book, just let me know.  So if you know of some titles to add, feel free to suggest!  If you know websites where I can download long out of print books!  As you will see some are in Dutch, but I don't mind if they are in French or German (and English ofcourse)

And as you can see, the next book will be number 60 ! 

PS : see any mistakes in the list below, please tell me

Not a book I’d recommend tho many do:

Josiah Thompson — Six Seconds in Dallas

[Pete Mellor]

Michael has already suggested Doug Horne's 'Inside the Assassination Records Review Board'.  A five volume set well worth adding.

Mike Davis' 'The JFK Assassination Witness Index' & 'The JFK Assassination Evidence Handbook' (2018) are handy reference books.

Noel Twyman 'Bloody Treason'. (1997).

Jim D & Probe Mag. 'The Assassinations'. (JFK-RFK & MLK).

Ray Marcus 'The Bastard Bullet'. Monograph (1966).

William Davy 'Through the Looking Glass-The Mysterious World of Clay Shaw'. Monograph (1995).

 

[Bill Fite]

I'll second these:

• Noel Twyman  -- Bloody Treason
• Vincent Salandria — False Mystery
• James Douglass -- JFK and the Unspeakable

and ask if I'm the only one who liked

• Walt Brown's - Master Chronology (at least up to the point where he starts going off over and over again on Judith Baker's claims)

 

 

[Mark Ulrik]

Don't you have Oltmans' book, Jean?

You might also consider the Italian edition of Gun's book, Le Rose Rosse Del Texas. Unlike the rare and expensive US edition, this one is large format, loaded with photos, and very easy to find on ebay.it.

Bloomgarden's The Gun should also be right in your wheelhouse.

[Jean Ceulemans]

Thanks and Tak.

I have read parts of Oltmans online, will get the book someday

Good tip on the Italian book!

All of you, thanks a lot, it will keep me busy. 

And keep'm coming

Cliff,

I'm going through Thompson's sequel of sorts, Last Second in Dallas.   He takes another look at the acoustical evidence and matches it with the Zapruder film.  He concludes that there were 2 shots, one from the front and one from the back, less than a second apart, that crashed into Kennedy's head.

This comports with Dino Brugioni's explanation, in his Doug Horne interview, of what he saw when he worked on the original Zapruder film that Saturday night:  a bright colored spray of blood and tissue shooting feet in the air over several frames, not the simple flash in Z313 that now appears in the extant Zapruder. 

This adds to the holes in JFK's clothes story that you so doggedly bring up (thanks for that). eliminating the WR claim of a sole shooter.

Thompson, Gary Aguilar, Doug DeSales and Bill Simpich will be giving  a 1 1/2 hour talk on the two head shots (longest presentation at the conference, and maybe the most important).  I'll be there remotely.

Howard Roffman - "Presumed Guilty".

And if you want to go back to the "stone age" of early writings, any/all of Harold Weisberg's many volumes.

[Anthony Thorne]

A good list, feel free to chuck in

Gerald McKnight - BREACH OF TRUST, on the Warren Commission.

John Newman - COUNTDOWN TO DARKNESS and INTO THE STORM

Alex Cox - THE PRESIDENT AND THE PROVOCATEUR

James DiEugenio's THE JFK ASSASSINTION (2018 edition) and the JFK REVISITED volume from last year. They're two different books and you should probably grab them both, along with the Garrison bio that you've already listed.

Joan Mellen - THE GREAT GAME IN CUBA (paperback edition is expanded I think)

Warren Hinckle and William Turner's DEADLY SECRETS

Walt Brown's chronology is worth getting a few on Kindle, I'd suggest books 3 and 4 of his master chronology, then pick a couple of his side volumes. They're very long, and the problem with getting 1,2,3,4 of the chronology is you'll be wading through a thousand pages of backstory before you get to things that are specifically assassination related.

And have a scan through the various JFK books at the Trine Day site, skipping anything written by or involving Judyth Baker. A few of them have good reviews at Kennedys and King, and they have a few more on the way.
