The Unanswered Questions About President Kennedy's Assassination, New York, Award Books, 1965, 2nd printing, SC, 221p., VG.: This is a very early criticism of the work of the Warren Commission.

The Fish is Red: The Story of the Secret War Against Castro, New York, Harper and Row, 1981, HB, 373p., DJ=VG, book=VG.: This book, according to one of its authors, Bill Turner was supressed. It is a very rare and hard-to-find book. It was later reprinted in expanded form in the early 90s. It convincingly connects the assassination to anti-Castro operations run by US intelligence.

(SOLD) James P. Hosty, Jr.,
Assignment Oswald, New York, Arcade, 1996, 1st edition, HB, 328p., DJ=E, book=E.: Another in a long list of questionable anti-conspiratorial books.

Kennedy, NY, Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1986, HB, 555p., DJ=VG, book=E.: This is a very well written synopsis of some of the better researcher's work as of the mid-80s.

Mark Lane,
Rush to Judgement, New York, Fawcett Crest, 1966, 1967, SC, 396p., VG.: This is the softcover version of an early work that is one of the few books on the Kennedy assassination to attain great commercial success.

Mark Lane,
Rush to Judgement, New York, Thunder's Mouth, 1966, 1992, LSC, 478p., VG.: This early work is one of the few books to attain great commercial success.

High Treason II, New York, Carroll and Graf, 1992, 1st edition, HB, 656p., DJ=VG, book=E.: This is the sequel to the book High Treason,, that was co-authored by Robert Groden with Livingstone.

Killing the Truth: Deceit and Deception in the JFK Case, New York, Carroll and Graf, 1993, 1st edition, HB, 458p., DJ=VG, book=E.: Harry is at it again, bashing critics and lone assassin theorists alike with his characteristic venom.

Norman Mailer,
Oswald's Tale: An American Mystery, New York, Random House, First Edition, 1995, HB, 791p., DJ=E, book=F (would be E, except for burn mark inside front cover).: Mailer combines efforts with lone assassin propagandist and 60s FBI informant Lawrence Schiller to produce a work that reads like (and contains much) fiction on the life of Lee Harvey Oswald. The idea here seems to be to paint Oswald as a violent wife beating kook with a propensity for violence. To it's credit (if one reads with a critical mind) the book contains interesting information on Oswald's Russian period. To make this work difficult to refute and to make using it for research tedious, it was published without an index. Take note that it was issued by Random House, the same company that published the horrendous lone-nut propaganda book, Case Closed, by Gerald Posner. [$10.00]

William Manchester,
The Death of a President: November 20-November 25, 1963, New York, Harper and Row, 1967, 1st edition, HB, 710p., NDJ, G.: Very few books on the assassination have sold more than one million copies. This book is one of the few, and like most of these million-selling works on the assassination, it is not reliable in its evaluation of the evidence relating to conspiracy. [$9.00]

William Manchester,
The Death of a President: November 20-November 25, 1963, New York, Harper and Row, 1967, SC, 814p., VG.: Very few books on the assassination have sold more than one million copies. This book is one of the few, and like most of these million-selling works on the assassination, it is not reliable in its evaluation of the evidence relating to conspiracy.

(SOLD) Jim Marrs,
Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy, New York, Carroll and Graf, 1989, 1990, SC, 625p., VG.: Jim Marrs offers a collection of various arguments that appear to indicate a JFK conspiracy.

(SOLD) Hugh McDonald and Geoffrey Bocca,
Appointment in Dallas: The Final Solution to the Assassination of JFK, Black cover version, New York, The Hugh McDonald Publishing Corporation, 1975, 1st printing, SC, 211p., F.: Here is a United States intelligence-oriented author revealing the nature of the plot. This book includes a highly dubious confession by a shooter that appears to be deliberate disinformation. This is another of those assassination books that suffers a credibility problem by reading more like a novel than a work of non-fiction. [$8.00]

(SOLD) Hugh McDonald and Geoffrey Bocca,
Appointment in Dallas: The Final Solution to the Assassination of JFK, White cover version, New York, The Hugh McDonald Publishing Corporation, 1975, 1st printing, SC, 211p., F.: Here is a United States intelligence-oriented author revealing the nature of the plot. This book includes a highly dubious confession by a shooter that appears to be deliberate disinformation. This is another of those assassination books that suffers a credibility problem by reading more like a novel than a work of non-fiction. [$8.00]

Hugh McDonald and Robin Moore,
LBJ and the JFK Conspiracy, Westport CT, Condor, 1978, 1979, 2nd edition, SC, 242p., VG.: This is an absurd work of fiction that was sold as non-fiction. It was written by two persons who had intimate and long-established connections with US intelligence. It is widely regarded as disinformation for very good reasons. It contains nonsensical reconstructed dialogue of Nikita Khrushchev scheming to bump off JFK. It also purports to identify one of the men with a rifle in Dealey Plaza. It is a rare book, even though it was the sequel to another book on the assassination by McDonald that supposedly sold one million copies. Reading this book is a worthwhile exercise if you are interested in the effort to muddy the waters concerning conspiracy. [$19.00]

Priscilla Johnson McMillan,
Marina and Lee, New York, Harper and Row, 1977, Book Club Edition, HB, 659p., DJ=G, Book=E.: Priscilla McMillan is an author who many critics believe was some sort of agent for the U.S. government. She was largely responsible for isolating Marina Oswald from exposure to conspiracy-oriented information. This book was delayed for many years and is one of the most militant of lone assassin oriented books. Oswald's wife now believes there was a conspiracy and that her husband, Lee Harvey Oswald, was a patsy. [11.00]

Bonar Menninger,
Mortal Error: The Shot That Killed JFK, NY, St. Martin's Press, 1st Edition, 1992, 1st edition, HB, 361p., DJ=G, Book=VG, ex-libary copy.: One of the most bizarre conspiracy theories is the central thesis of this book. The author makes the amazing and controversial claim that JFK was shot by one of his own Secret Service agents from the followup car. [$12.00]

Jim Moore,
Conspiracy of One, Ft. Worth, The Summit Group, 1991, 1992, LSC, 236p., E.: Here is another in a short list of books on the John F. Kennedy assassination that actually puts forth the notion that the Warren Commission was right and advocates the lone-assassin theory as the solution to the crime. [$12.00]

(SOLD) Relman Morin,
Assassination: The Death of President John F. Kennedy, NY, Signet, 1st Printing, 1968, SC, 191p., G.: This book is an obscure lone assassin oriented effort that was published without an index. A bland effort at defending the Warren Commission. Morin engages in some early Warren Commission critic bashing. [$9.00]

(SOLD) Robert D. Morrow,
First Hand Knowledge: How I Participated in the CIA-Mafia Murder of President Kennedy, New York, Shapolsky, 1992, HB, 384p., DJ=G, Book=VG.: Robert Morrow, recently deceased, tells all about his role in the John F. Kennedy assassination in a book that sometimes reads more like a novel than a work of non-fiction. There are some very interesting things here, but the truthfulness of the author has been called into question by researchers concerning much of the information presented within the book. [$10.00]

(SOLD) Robert Morrow,
Betrayal: A Reconstruction of Certain Clandestine Events from the Bay of Pigs to the Assassination of John F. Kennedy, Cranbury, NY, Regnery, 1976, HB, 229p., DJ=G, book=VG. Signed by Author.: This is supposedly an insider's account of the assassination plot from someone who claims to have played a role. It reads like a novel with its "reconstructed" dialogue and unbelievable James Bond-ish action scenes, complete with car chases. This is considered by many to be a work of fiction and perhaps a deliberate deception. [$20.00]

John Newman,
JFK: Oswald and the CIA, NY, Carroll and Graf, 1995, 1st Edition, HB, 627p., DJ=E, book=E.: John Newman, a former Army Intelligence and NSA employee, gives us a surprising evaluation of new file releases that suggest that Lee Harvey Oswald was some type of US intelligence agency pawn. It appears that the CIA was very interested in Oswald long before the assassination in a way that indicates the CIA had, an "operational interest" in the alleged presidential assassin. [$12.00]

(SOLD) Mark North,
Act of Treason, New York, Carroll and Graf, 1991, 1992, LSC, 671p., E.: This book tries to make the case that J. Edgar Hoover was behind the assassination of JFK. It is constructed in a time line format and contains much valuable and fascinating information about Hoover and JFK. It falls short of actually proving Hoover was a plotter, but certainly establishes possible motives for Hoover to participate in cover-up activities relating to the crime. [$11.00]

(SOLD) Peter Noyes,
Legacy of Doubt, NY, Pinnacle Books, 1973, 1st printing, SC, 251p., G.: Out of hundreds of books written on the assassination Of JFK, this is one of few that have been written by a practicing journalist which favors conspiracy.

(SOLD) Carl Oglesby,
Who Killed JFK?, Berkeley, CA, Odonian Press, 1992, 1st printing, SC, 95p., E.: This is a very good simplification of the possible whodunnit of the assassination.

(SOLD) Richard H. Popkin,
The Second Oswald, New York, Avon, 1988, 1966, 1st printing, SC, 174p., F.: This is an early, scarce and classic work on the assassination of JFK. Popkin was one of the first researchers to study in depth the idea of possible impersonations of Lee Harvey Oswald. The implication is that there was an organized, conspiratorial effort to frame Lee Oswald for the murder in advance of the actual assassination. [$15.00]

(SOLD) Gerald Posner,
Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK, New York, Random House, 1993, 1st edition, HB, 607p., DJ=E, book=E.: This may be one of the worst books ever written on the assassination of John F. Kennedy. It is filled with errors and misrepresentations that are described in detail in this site's Electronic Assassinations Newsletter. Posner argues the concept that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of JFK. The book is interesting to study because it draws on all of the arguments offered by preceeding lone assassin theory advocates while adding a few new twists. [$9.00]

(SOLD) Charles Roberts,
The Truth about the Assassination, New York, Grosset and Dunlap, 1967, 1967, LSC, 128p., VG.: This book was an early anti-critical book by Newsweek's White House correspondent at the time of the assassination of JFK.

Presumed Guilty, Cranbury, NJ, A. S. Barnes, 1975, 1976, 2nd printing, HB, 299p., DJ=G, book=VG.: This is another very hard to find assassination-related title. It is written by a person who was guided in his research by Harold Weisberg. It is a very logical and highly convincing work that convincingly argues conspiracy. [$30.00]

(SOLD) Dick Russell,
The Man Who Knew Too Much, New York, Carroll and Graf/Richard Gallen, 1992, 1st edition, HB, 824p., DJ=VG, book=E. Signed by Author.: A very large but extremely well-written book on the JFK assassination. It gives much background on the assassination but focuses on recently-deceased Richard Case Nagell. Nagell was an agent of military intelligence who had a relationship with the CIA who claimed that as a double agent he was asked by the Soviets to step in and prevent the assassination of JFK. Although some of Nagell's claims are uncorroborated this still qualifies as an example of the cliche; truth is stranger than fiction. [$18.00]

David Scheim,
Contract On America: The Mafia Murder of the President, NY, Shapolsky, 1988, HB, 480p., DJ=E, book=VG.: The author takes the reader through the evidence and testimony that indicates possible Mafia involvement in the killing of JFK.

(SOLD) Bill Sloan with Jean Hill,
JFK: The Last Dissenting Witness, Gretna LA, Pelican, 1992, 2nd printing, HB, 255p., DJ=VG, book=E.: While there is no doubt that Jean Hill was an important witness to the Kennedy murder, the critics and anti-critics have both questioned the details of her story. While some of the controversial claims of Hill have turned out to be true, her story has evolved over the years. This book has two strikes against it from a researcher's point of view. One problem is the lack of an index and another is the fact that it reads like a novel. [$10.00]

Brian Sprinkle and James Butman,
The Armchair Detective, Highland, FL, Rainbow, 1992, 1st printing, SC, 127p., VG.: This is a short and simple book that claims to sort out the confusing mass of information surrounding the assassination of JFK.

Jean Stafford,
A Mother in History: Marquerite Oswald, The Mother of the Man Who Killed Kennedy, New York, Bantam, 1966, SC, 119p., VG.: From the title we see that the author had an obvious anti- conspiracy bias. This is in stark contrast to the attitude of the subjet of the book, Lee Harvey Oswald's mother. The author ridicules the subject and paints her in a most unflattering light. Mrs. Oswald believed her son was not only innocent of the crime, but was some type of intelligence agent, who was set up to be the scapegoat for the crime of the century. [$12.00]

Edgar Hoover, New York, Free Press/Macmillan, 1987, 1st printing, HB, 624p., DJ=VG, book=E.: In this very comprehensive and fascinating account of the corrupt dictator who ran our FBI for almost one half century, we see a disturbing portrait of a man who seemed to stop at nothing to perpetuate his intelligence empire.

The Shadow Warriors: OSS and the Origins of the CIA, New York, Basic Books, 1983, First printing, HB, 507p., DJ=G, Book=F.: The CIA's roots lie in the agency that was responsible for covert espionage activities during World War II. Many of the people who had been involved in special operations and intelligence activities in this organization were absorbed by the CIA upon its creation by Truman in 1947 by means of The National Security Act. Smith gives us an interesting accout of how the leader of the Office of Strategic Services skillfully influenced Truman to create the CIA after dissolving the OSS shortly after the war. In later years, Truman expressed regret at how the CIA had evolved into an operational agency, rather than one solely concerned with gathering and evaluating intelligence information. [9.00]

The Spymasters of Israel, New York, Ballantine Books, 1980, 1982, SC, 400p., G.: While this book qualifies as a cold war espionage book, it deals very briefly with American intelligence and not at all with the JFK assassination.

Andrew Tully,
CIA: The Inside Story, New York, Morrow, 1962, HB, 276p., NDJ, G.: This was a very early book critical of the CIA written by an author who, in 1965, released a book that highly praised the FBI. J. Edgar Hoover resented the very existence of the CIA and felt that foreign intelligence responsibilities should have been part of his empire.

The Super Spies: More Secret, More Powerful than the CIA, New York, Morrow, 1969, HB, 256p., DJ=VG, book=G.: Again Hoover's personal propaganda asset proves to be a thorn in the side of the FBI's rival intelligence agencies.

Don Whitehead,
The FBI Story, New York, Pocket Books, 1956, 1958, SC, 459p., P.: Hoover had a group of authors that he could count on to write positive portrayals that glorified and justified the agenda of the FBI in the cold war period. This book was endlessly reprinted and despite the author's credentials as a winner of a Pulitzer Prize is certainly biased and one-sided. [$2.00]

David Wise and Thomas B. Ross,
The Invisible Government, New York, Random House, 1964, HB, 375p., DJ=P, book=G, small piece missing from DJ: The description on the cover states, "This startling and disturbing book is the first full, authentic account of America's intelligence and espionage apparatus-an invisible government, with the CIA at its center, that conducts the clandestine policies of the United States in the cold war. Many of the revelations about abuses and secret unaccountability were things that Americans had not been aware of until this book was released. [$11.00]

Wyden draws on documents that had been previously kept secret and interviews with combatants on both sides (including Castro himself) to paint a fascinating picture of one of the darkest chapters in the history of the CIA, the agency responsible for the invasion's ultimate failure. The refusal to provide American air support during the invasion has been advanced by conspiracy theorists as one possible motivation for the assassination of JFK. [9.00]

Johnson: The Exercise of Power, New York, New American Library, 1966, HB, 597p., DJ=G, book=VG.: Billed as a "total dissection of the Johnson performance," this book, written by the noted television pundits, is a mixed bag of soft praise and criticism of the power-obsessed LBJ released at a time when LBJ was still a sitting president.

October Surprise, New York, Tudor Publishing, 1989, 1st printing, HB, NDJ, 323p., E.: The October Suprise was a scandal that allegedly involved a secret deal with Iran to keep our hostages until after the election so Carter would not be boosted by taking credit for their release.

Secret Agenda: Watergate, Deep Throat and the CIA, New York, Random House, 1984, HB, 347p., DJ=VG, book=E.: This is one of the better Watergate books because it is written by someone intimately familiar with the serious study of dirty-tricks politics.

William Bradford Huie,
He Slew the Dreamer, New York, Delacorte Press, May 1970, 2nd printing, HB, 212p., DJ=VG, book=VG.: This is a relatively scarce book by an author who made a deal with James Earl Ray to tell his story in exchange for funds that were hopefully to be used to help finance the trial that James Earl Ray never had. It was something of a double-cross in that the author was biased, apparrently from the start, and was intent on proving Ray guilty, rather than presenting a case for his innocence.

Lyndon Baines Johnson,
The Choices We Face, New York, Bantam Books, 1969, 3rd printing, SC, 151p., VG.: Billed as "the former president's first major statement since leaving the White House," this work is an obviously self-serving account of the problems and tasks he faced in his time as President of the United States.

There is some information on McNamara's reactions and actions at the time of the assassination.

McNamara debunks (rather conclusively) the notion, advanced by such supposed liberals as Chomsky and Coburn, that JFK was not pulling out of Vietnam at the time of his death. He WAS pulling out, and McNamara is one person who would certainly know. [$12.00]

This is an updated paperback version with some new information and an introduction by syndicated columnist Noah H. Griffin. In this work we see the same urgency by authorities to close the investigation and convict a lone assassin.
