... I was told by some that this book tied up loose ends and would convince me that conspiracy theorists were incorrect. That's wrong on both counts.
The author has managed to do nothing more than reword the Warren Commision and come up with conclusions that he wished to reach before he had probably even written the introduction.
The work is poorly researched, badly written and leaves more questions than it answers. It ignores facts and is selective in its views on witness statements and expert testament.
I welcome books that tell the story of what happened in and around 1963 from all perspectives, but if you want to read a book starting from the position of having an open mind - don't read this.

Another damage limitation excercise from the "Oswald did it alone school". It is incredible that after the genenerally acknowledged destruction of the single-gunman theory, that Canal should seek to rework the problems of Oswalds intelligence background into a new nonsense. It would be pointless to waste words on deconstructing his hypothesis.
Serious students of the Kennedy assasination will smell the rat straight away, familiarity breeding contempt. Those new to the subject would advised to skip this as an introduction and look at the work of Meagher, Summers , Dale-scott et al.

I find it amusing that previous reviewers felt this book deserved either a one star review or a five star review - and nothing in-between! It shows the predisposition of Kennedy assassination researchers to beleive exactly what they want to believe, regardless of the facts. No Kennedy assassination book is perfect but reading this book with an open mind reveals both good and bad points.
Canal is oviously not an acomplished writer but he is passionate about his subject and it is obvious he has spent some time reaching his conclusions. Other researchers, myself included, may not agree with his theories but they are no less worthy of consideration than any other.
The first part of the book presents the case against Oswald in a very straight to the point manner which is unfortunately not enough to convince this reader. Canal, like most Warren Commission apologists, finds it unnecessary to detail the obvious implications that Oswald was exactly what he sais he was, "a patsy." Too many chains of evidence are broken, too much evidence has only "probative" value, too much is based on presumption. It seems unlikely that the case against Oswald would have stood up in court.
The second part of the book is much more interesting. Canal outlines the evidence of a relationship between Oswald and David Ferrie, a possible connection between Ferrie and Jack Ruby, and the theory that the Mafia was behind Oswald's murder. Although I don't agree with Canal's theory as to the Mafia's motives, I have no doubt he is right about their involvement. I have found much here to help me in my own research and I am sure other researchers could do the same.
Altogether an enjoyable and informative book that deserves to be read with an open mind.

For me, this book brings closure to the debate over whether or not there was a conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy. Read more

An absolute "must read."
Finally, a book on the Kennedy assassination that addresses all conspiracy theory "loose ends" and ties them up in a nice, neat package. Read more
