Product Description

Product Description

It is the most famous home movie of all time, the most closely analysed 26 seconds of film ever shot, and the most disturbing visual record of what many have called "the crime of the century". In 486 frames - a mere six feet of celluloid - Abraham Zapruder's iconic film captures from, beginning to end, the murder of President John F. Kennedy in broad daylight. The film has become almost synonymous with the assassination itself and has generated decades of debate among conspiracy theorists and defenders of the Warren Comission's offical report. David Wrone, one of America's foremost authorities on the assassination, re-examines Zaproder's film with a fresh eye and a detailed knowledge of the forensic evidence. He traces the film's 40-year history, fom its creation through its initial sale to "Life" magazine, analysis by the Warren Commission and legal battles over bootleg copies, to its sale to the federal government for 16 million dollars. Wrone's major contribution is to demonstrate how the film itself necessarily refutes the Warren Commission's lone-gunman and single-bullet theory. He asserts that the film provides a scientifically precise timeline of events, as well as crucial clues regarding the shots fired that day. Analysing it frame-by-frame, in relation to other evidence, he builds a convincing case against the official findings. Without speculating who actually shot JFK and why, he concludes that the president's death was the result of a conspiracy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Zapruder Film by David Wrone, 11 Oct 2004
By Martin Hay "mnhay27" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a retired professor of history, David Wrone brings important academic skills to the study of the assassination. Although he has a firm grasp on the evidence he is also highly opinionated - but not always right. There are a few glaring errors in this book, the most surprising of which concerns JFK's head wounds. Wrone claims that the Zapruder film proves that there was no wound, entrance or exit, in the back of the President's head. With over forty witnesses including surgeons, autopsists, nurses and FBI agents swearing otherwise, it's ridiculous to make this claim. Yet he does. According to Wrone the Zapruder film shows the back of Kennedy's head to be completely intact. But this simply is not the case. In fact, the back of JFK's head is almost constantly in shadow - a strange quirk that lead some researchers to believe that the film had been tampered with. All of the available evidence demonstrates beyond any shadow of a doubt that there was a back-of-the-head wound. The nature of that wound, however, remains obscure.

Wrone also attempts to resurrect an age old theory that was better off left - the notion that the Altgens photo shows Lee Harvey Oswald to be standing in the doorway of the Texas School Book Depository at the time of the shooting. It simply does not. The man in the photo is, was and always will be Billy Lovelady.

Mistakes aside, this is a cracking read. Wrone produces an airtight chain of custody for the Zapruder film and argues persuavely for its authenticity. He also provides a superb case for Oswald's innocence by discussing, among other things, the FBI's Neutron Activaion Analysis of Oswald's parrafin casts. There's also a fine critique of David Lifton's Body alteration theory. And Wrone uses the Zapruder film alongside other photographic evidence to conclusivly invalidate the single bullet theory and prove that the first shot hit kennedy alone at around frame 190 of the Z film.

Despite my criticisms, I still believe this to be one of the better books on the subject.
