Jim Garrison's book presents the most powerful detailed case yet made that President Kennedy's assassination was the product of a conspiracy, and that the plotters and key operators came not from the Mob, but the CIA. I think there was a conspiracy. There's kind of collective amnesia about the whole thing. The Warren Commission construed its mission to be restoring equilibrium. No one really wanted to know. It goes back to the late sixties, the Garrison case. Remember he had this elaborate conspiracy theory? The stones that were turned over! Fantastic characters kept emerging.

Work Description

This book is a record of Jim Garrison, Prosecuting Attorney in New Orleans, attempt to prosecute those responsible for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. His contention is that the assassination was a conspiracy involving the CIA and the military industrial complex, and that it was, in effect, a coup d'etat. This book was used as one of the basis for the movie, JFK. Although he did try Clay Shaw for the assassination, a jury found him (Clay Shaw) innocent.
