Good book about Oswald (with some nice photos).......2005-12-23
Being Groden's follow-up to "The Killing Of A President", this book is a little anti climactic. That said, it is still very good as an overview of Oswald with some nice photos. Worth getting.

BEST JFK ASSASSINATION BOOK: ULTIMATE SACRIFICE
BEST JFK SECRET SERVICE BOOK: SURVIVOR'S GUILT BY YOURS TRULY :)
Beautiful pictures, but think for yourself.......1998-08-23
And in the center ring, standing somewhere between 5'8" and 5'11", Lee "The Assassin" Oswald!! And right there beside him, the man who has solved the Kennedy assassination more times than swiss cheese has holes, Robert "The Brain" Groden!! Now after a certain point, everyone feels that way. Bob Groden must be given his due: He has managed to squirrel away quite a collection of JFK visual materials, and the results are pretty stimulating. But the biggest problem comes in the text. Some of the sources and conclusions in this "definitive" text are open to quite a bit of speculation. Interpretation (this picture shows this, here we see Clay Shaw, and OHMYGoodness a Grassy Knoll shooter) could be easily contested.
This book is great for the coffee table as people WILL pick it up and WILL have great fun discussing it. Just be careful what kinds of words a picture can put into your mouth. Bob, I'd love to hear from you.

Inside details of assassination plot from former LBJ attorney.

An opportunity missed.......2007-07-13
Strange book; it starts off promisingly but then moves from factual data to 'faction' and at that point becomes riddled with errors and unnecessary speculation. If McClellan had just stuck to the facts of what he knew this would have been a far more credible book.
Interesting and compelling analysis..........2006-11-18
The author opens with a detailed biography of Lyndon Johnson that removes the veneer of 'presidentiality' from Johnson and shows him as a greedy, fearful, mean man with an all-consuming need for power. McClellan then builds his case against Johnson by describing events earlier in Johnson's life in which foul acts were performed for a momentary advantage. Quite a bit of detail is provided about the stuffing of the ballot box which allowed Johnson to win his seat in the US Senate in 1948 and also about the murder of the USDA inspector, Henry Marshall, who was on the trail of fraud being perpetrated on the Department of Agriculture. The original investigation found that Marshall had committed suicide...with five bullets in his body delivered by a close Johnson associate, Mac Wallace. Another murder victim was Doug Kinser who was threatening to bring scandal to Johnson. Mac Wallace was then convicted of killing Kinser but, thanks to Johnson's power over the Texas legal system, was sentenced to 5 years in prison and given a suspended sentence.
It is Wallace that the author alleges was one of the trigger men in the sniper's nest along with Oswald. As proof, the author matches a fingerprint found on a box in the sniper's nest with one of Wallace's earlier fingerprints obtained for the Kinser murder to place Wallace on the 6th floor of the School Book Depository. The author provides a lot of other interesting information such as pointing out that it was Johnson who arranged for Kennedy to visit Texas on November 22, 1963 and that Johnson had given a copy of the Secret Service plans for protecting the president to the conspirators.
McClellan also claims that there was a third trigger man on the grassy knoll who he does not identify and he claims that the conspirators wore suits and used fake Secret Service badges to identify themselves to police and escape the scene after the shooting. There is some credibility to this as many of the shooting eye witnesses and police officers reported encountering secret service agents in Dealey Plaza after the shooting and yet the Warren Commission established that not a single secret service agent was present in Dealey Plaza other than those riding on vehicles. One of the weaker parts of the book is where McClellan claims that the entire conspiracy was the work of a crooked Johnson lawyer named Ed Clark. It seems much more likely that the conspiracy was large enough that the lawyer Clark was working closely with other a handful of rogue agents from the CIA and the secret service and that the final conspiracy was a 'team' effort.
This is an interesting book that fleshes out a lot of missing pieces of the assassination puzzle and makes some of the earlier stuff attributed to Johnson, such as his phone call to the Parkland Hospital ER seeking a dying confession from Oswald, much more believable.
After reading this book, you will never again look the same way at the famous photo of Johnson getting a wink from Congressman Albert Thomas on board Air Force One after being sworn in as the president following Kennedy's killing.
Blood, Money & Power.......2006-11-04
What a reveiling book on what goes on in our government that the American public is not aware of. It makes you look at politicans as power hungery, paid off people who have hood winked the public into thinking they are working in our behalf. The facts tell another story. Read to see just what your tax dollars are paying for.
How L.B.J. Killed J.F.K and Started the Texas Republican Party.......2006-10-18
If you struggle through the tumbleweed and rusted oil derricks in the first half of Barr's book, you will be rewarded with the most plausible answers to questions you have been asking for forty-three years. Whether you choose to believe, or not, there is no better answer and the proof is there when honest and unfearful authority is in place.
More importantly, reading between the lines, this telling and forthright unburdening by Barr exposes the birthing of the Texas Republican party. It is obvious from reading this book that the dirty business and politics that is Texas tradition, the oil-garchy and modus operandi that put LBJ in Washington, is the SOP of today's GOP. If you get nothing else from this book, you must recognize LBJ as the Godfather of today's Republican party.
VERY GOOD,BUT.........2006-09-10
Having researched the JFK assassination since GRADE SCHOOL, I have no doubt the conspiracy existed. The problem is getting to the common sense of it all. Three questions make it pretty clear that there was a plot: 1) Why were there secret service agents on the grassy knoll, when the secret service says none of their agents were there? 2)Why has the government, year by year, changed their position--first Warren Commission, then the panel on assassinations, now they release bits and pieces of "national security" documents. If the government actually felt there was no conspiracy, why does their story keep changing? 3) The newly released info about the aborted assassinations in Chicago and Florida. Now to Barr's book. Good info, but I hardly think THREE of his "men" could have pulled it off, and I don't believe JFK's "boy" Max was the grassy knoll shooter. The fingers are pointing in the wrong direction, but in pointing they're missing some of the truth. No the entire CIA and FBI didn't conspire to kill JFK, but you can bet your last dollar some elements of the government planned and executed this murder. WHo better to spearhead the plot than the vice president himself? Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

"Death Project" is the best.......2006-05-21
What impressed me the most were the many mysterious deaths relating to the Coup. I formed a strong opinion of the Coup at that time but did not continue to think about it very much. It was not until some 25 years later with the help of the internet and some disposable income that I was able to get ahold of enough material to sort out the disinformation and false flags and get the true , however hard to swallow , picture of the crime.
Now that I know it was a classic Coup d' etat with the Secret Service stopping protection that day, I hope the truth will finally stopped being surpressed by the mainstream media.
Why does it still matter? It matters because our Government continues to lie and insult our intelligence regarding this Coup d' etat. And the powers that took out our President, installed themselves in power as a result of this Coup are still very much there.
A Conspiracy,no doubt;but who and why ?.......2006-01-03
Anybody who has been following the Assassination of JFK will find this an excellent resource.I have read or watched everything I've come across since that fateful day in Dallas.I still remember the newsreels I watched for several days from the actual killing ,the live shooting of Oswald by Ruby in front of many millions of viewers ,the funeral and all that came in the way of investigations , books ,articles ,TV specials and movies.
This is by far the best coverage of the evidence by photos that I have ever seen all collected in one book.A lot of the things shown in the book will be familiar;but here we get the most detail on every aspect of things that have been questioned
and even in cases manipulated.I have to admit that I felt that some of the conclusions and detail 'seen' were a stretch;but I don't have the benefit of the extreme expertise that the investigators,scientists and detectives use to deduce evidence and meaning.
I was not so aware of the prepondence of evidence and argument that exists to show why it was a conspiracy,and can in no way be dismissed as the act of a lone killer.For about 20 years the occurrence of a conspiracy might have been in doubt;but no longer.
I have had this book on the shelf for quite a long time but didn't think there was a lot of new stuff here.I just thought it had excellent detail.I finally decided to read it and was very impressed .Then I read a lot of the reviews and was very surprised to find recent reviews on a book published back in 1993.
A recent review by Vince Palamara on December,2005;really got my attention.A check of his other reviews produced a storehouse of reviews on JFK and other conspiracies;and is a resource in itself.One review of his on "Ultimate Sacrifice" by Lamar Waldron was particularly interesting,and the reviews on that book are a real eye opener.I had not heard of this new book and from the flood on recent reviews makes it look like the whole issue is about to blow open again.I am anxiously looking forward to reading it.
Now that it appears that the arguments about a conspiracy may be behind us; the focus is going to be who and why.Not only JFK,but what about conspiracy in RFK,Martin Luthur King and what about many others connected.I have never believed that we have heard the end of the Marilyn Monroe story yet.
Anyone interested in the JFK Assassination should get this book.

BEST JFK ASSASSINATION BOOK: ULTIMATE SACRIFICE
BEST JFK SECRET SERVICE BOOK: SURVIVOR'S GUILT BY YOURS TRULY :)
Get This Volume For The Photos, Not The "Theories".......2005-11-17
Robert J. Groden's "The Killing Of A President" is a very good resource book for many of the photographs connected with the events surrounding the 1963 assassination of President John Kennedy.
The softcover version of "TKOAP" that I own, published in 1994, consists of 223 pages and is printed on very high-quality (thick) paper stock. The book measures approximately 9-1/4" (W) x 10-7/8" (H), and has a nice "collectible" feel to it.
This volume is just crammed full of high-quality photographs and still-frames from motion-picture sequences that were taken on November 22, 1963 (the day of JFK's murder). Some of the pictures depicted here are large-sized and take up entire pages, with a few filling out full two-page spreads.
Several of JFK's autopsy photos are published within this volume, as well, and are rather graphic and gruesome in nature (especially if you've never had the chance to view them before via other means). So, be forewarned before you turn to Pages 72 through 85.
The book's text and photo captions are all "pro-CT" in nature (i.e.: pushing the idea that a vast, multi-shooter conspiracy existed to assassinate President Kennedy in Dallas' Dealey Plaza).
It's a nicely-styled publication, IMO. But the book's 'style' certainly doesn't mean Mr. Groden has proven that any type of "conspiracy" existed on 11-22-63. I do not think he has; and I also don't think that more than one man (Lee Harvey Oswald) was aiming a weapon at JFK that day in Dallas. The overwhelming evidence in the case (on the whole) tells me that one lone killer was involved in ending the President's life that sunny Friday afternoon.
I'm forced to chuckle when reading in this book of Mr. Groden's "8-Shot" shooting scenario that he believes took place on 11/22. (He even suggests that there might have been up to TEN shots fired at the President's limousine, despite the fact that ONLY THREE of these many shots were heard by the large majority of the witnesses at the scene.)
Mr. Groden obviously realizes that in any such 8-to-10-shot scenario, a total of up to SEVEN of the bullets had to somehow disappear from view before they could enter any kind of 'official' record in the case (because Oswald, the resident "Patsy" in the JFK killing, per CT accounts, could only have fired three shots from his rifle in the allotted timeframe during the shooting).
And we must also keep in mind -- per Mr. Groden's theory (in which he has Texas Governor John B. Connally hit TWICE, not just once) -- that FIVE total bullets, including the JFK head-shot missile, MUST "disappear" completely from the record AFTER having gone into TWO different victims' bodies (JFK & Connally). And this includes the 'disappearance' of TWO bullets that struck a man who LIVED through the shooting (Connally). Talk about "Magic Bullets"! Mr. Groden apparently has not just ONE, but FIVE such miracle (vanishing) missiles. Quite remarkable indeed.
How in the world could ANY "plotters" possibly EXPECT a crazy multi-shot plan like this to succeed? It's completely nutty to think that anyone wanting to "frame" Lee Oswald would be WILLING to shoot that many times at the ONE intended target and from multiple angles and locations.
Another thing to ask yourself (if you believe in this notion of 8 or 10 shots actually being fired at JFK) -- Just what kind of CRAPPY shooters were being employed to rub out the Chief Executive on November 22nd? Mr. Groden is purporting that up to HALF the shots that were fired (5 out of 10 in the ludicrously-high TEN-SHOT theory being proposed) not only missed their intended target (which was obviously JFK), but all these various shots missed the ENTIRE AUTOMOBILE! Some great riflemen, huh?
Want another good belly-laugh? Keep reading......
Good Gosh! Would you look at this! .... Up to TEN shots and (per Groden) NOT ONE OF THEM being fired from Oswald's "Sniper's Nest" in the Texas School Book Depository Building?! (He hints that ONE, and only ONE, of these many shots COULD have come from the "Oswald window", but he feels that even THAT shot "probably" came from elsewhere -- the Dal-Tex Building on Houston Street.)
You'd THINK that, given an 8- or 10-shot shooting scenario, that Mr. G. might have a few more of the shots emanating from the ONLY POSITIVELY KNOWN SOURCE OF GUNFIRE -- the southeastern-most window on the 6th Floor of the Depository, from where Oswald HIMSELF was positively identified as firing a rifle at the motorcade!
Evidently, Mr. Groden must think that this rifle-toting "Oswald Look-alike" in the SE corner window on the 6th Floor of the Depository was only PRETENDING to fire his rifle at President Kennedy, in order to further implicate "Patsy Oswald". I guess it didn't matter to any of the conspirators that NONE of the wounds on the victims would 'line up' properly if the 'plotters' don't have some bullets coming from that Oswald window -- but that (apparently) didn't concern the architects of this doomed-to-fail-from-the-start "Frame-The-Patsy" conspiracy plot.
And then there's also the testimony of Harold Norman to consider when evaluating the overall validity of any of Mr. Groden's claims. Norman worked in the Book Depository Building and was situated on the 5th Floor, directly underneath the 'Oswald window' at the time of the shooting. Norman actually HEARD the working of the rifle's 'bolt' above him, and HEARD three cartridge cases hitting the floor right above him. Given such detailed testimony from someone within the Book Depository itself (including his preciseness re. hearing "THREE" hulls/shells dropping to the floor and exactly "THREE" shots being fired), how can Mr. Groden possibly purport a theory which includes ZERO shots or just ONE shot coming from the Oswald location?
Mr. Groden also postulates in this book, as I previously mentioned, his belief that Governor Connally was hit by two separate bullets, the last of these (which Groden says caused the wrist injury to Connally) supposedly occurring six-tenths of a second AFTER the fatal head shot to JFK.
This "2-shot" theory to 'JBC' is totally unsupported by the evidence and the filmed (Zapruder) record -- not to mention the fact that NEITHER of these bullets, per this theory, is ever found by Parkland Hospital personnel. The ONE bullet discovered at Parkland, according to conspiracists, was "planted" by someone (Bullet CE399). Connally's doctor (Dr. Shaw), however, said on 11/22 that ALL of Connally's wounds were probably caused by "one bullet" (not two).
And then there's the "Zapruder Film", which (IMO) verifies that Connally's wrist was struck by a bullet WELL prior to the JFK head shot. This "verification", IMO, occurs on the Z-Film in the form of a very rapid movement of Connally's right arm just a few Z-Frames after what I consider to be the one and only shot to John Connally's body -- that being the "Single-Bullet Theory" missile, which occurs at Z223-Z224 on the Zapruder home movie. The extremely fast UP then DOWN movement of JBC's right arm confirms, in my mind, the fact that his wrist has been hit by something at that precise moment. It's obviously an involuntary arm movement.
I also get particular amusement when I read anything pertaining to the so-called "Umbrella Man" in connection with the Kennedy murder. The "Umbrella Man" was a bystander in Dealey Plaza who held an open umbrella above his head as JFK's car passed by him on Elm Street. Some "CTers" seem to feel that this man fired a "poisoned dart" or some other type of projectile into the throat of JFK, thereby paralyzing the President just prior to the fatal head shot.
While Mr. Groden doesn't come right out in this book and say he believes such a cockeyed theory, he does give "The Umbrella Man" a nice two-page layout in "TKOAP" (pages 188-189), and hints at the possibility that this man waving his rain-shielding device was MORE than just a man carrying an umbrella.
Re. "Umbrella Man" -- Can you just hear the 'plotters', on 11-21-63, planning the details of the assassination which would be occurring the following day? I can. It would have made for a very amusing powwow. Here's what such a PRE-Assassination conversation amongst the conspirators mapping out the shooting just might have sounded like........
>>> "Let's see, Marty -- you're our "Umbrella" dude, and you shoot first -- right out in plain sight on Elm Street where many dozens of people will probably be filming you and therefore will have you on movies and still pics (but don't worry, the post-assassination "Cover-Up Team" can explain away those pics as "fakes" like everything else we're about to do tomorrow).
"OK, so, Marty, you've checked out that 'Umbrella Dart' thing-a-ma-bob, right? It's working OK? It wouldn't do to have a "misfired" poisoned dart, because you might then hit the "DCM" ("Dark-Complected Man"), who's gonna be standing next to you and wave to JFK as a "final sign" to him of who it is that's about to kill him, remember.
"OK, so Marty's got the Umbrella thing down cold. He'll fire the WARNING shot into Kennedy's neck so that he'll be paralyzed for a shot that comes many seconds later. There's no real need, of course, for this dart-shot; in fact it's pretty stupid if ya ask me -- but them's my orders from 'upstairs' guys, so we gotta live with it.
"OK, so then Francisco in the Dal-Tex is to fire next, after the Umbrella shot; but Francisco's second shot into JFK's back is ALSO a low-powered shot, like the Umbrella shot. Only'll go into the back about two inches. Remember, guys, we don't want to kill him yet! Not after just a mere two shots! We want him to have TWO "Warning" shots, so that Kennedy and his many Secret Service agents will have ample time to GET WISE to what is about to happen, and he'll have time to duck away from our "Kill" shot. After all, fair is fair, right?
"Plus, we also want this "Patsy" plot of ours to be so overly-complicated and impossible to pull off in order to make as much work as possible for our "Cover-up" operatives who'll be taking over the conspiracy case tomorrow at 12:31 PM -- like having to fake AS MUCH EVIDENCE AS WE CAN POSSIBLY DREAM UP. We want these guys to have to dig out of JFK's body AS MANY USELESS, NEEDLESS BULLETS AS POSSIBLE in order to earn their keep tomorrow!
"We COULD just use Billy Bob here (who kinda looks like Oswald) as the lone shooter from the Sniper's-Nest window -- but -- Nah! Let's go whole hog and clog the works with as many futile and needless shots as possible to give the cover-up crew a good workout tomorrow! OK? OK! Let's do it!"
<

Place obligatory "ROFL" icon here ----> :-)
-------------------
To summarize ..... "The Killing Of A President" is definitely a 'Must-Have' publication for any JFK assassination buff or researcher (CTers and LNers alike) -- but ONLY for the large photographic record of the tragic assassination that is documented within these 223 pages. If all of this pro-CT text that's printed here could be eradicated, it'd be an even far better volume, IMHO.
My Amazon Review "Breakdown" for this item ----
For the photographs depicted: 5 Stars.

Christopher Matthews, the Washington bureau chief for the San Francisco Examiner and a former aide to Tip O'Neill, offers a fascinating look at the connections between the two most well-known politicians in the last 40 years. He traces the symmetries of their beginnings--both were elected to the House of Representatives in 1946 and assigned to the same committee--as well as their similar thirst for power. While both men's rise and fall, events that had profound effects on America, have been well chronicled, Matthews' book is one of the few, if not only, that places the two in parallel historical context.

Politics, Individuals & Nations.......2006-08-31
It is an interesting and most revealing book about how US was changed under these two people's leadership and quest for power. That being said, the universal truth is that no matter how high politicians speak in any country, their ultimate personal goal, which is to attain and retain power decides the destiny of nations, perhaps the world.
Very readable, very interesting, very relevant.......2005-11-30
Chris Matthews, MSNBC news host, has written a book about the Nixon/Kennedy rivalry. This book is very good at what it attempts to do: an introduction into who these men were, where they came from, and what made them fall.
The book reads more like a courtroom drama than a dusty textbook. I find this feature appealing. If you want a more scholarly work, pass this book up.
"Kennedy and Nixon" is very interesting to anyone who wants to know more about the 60's, the Post-War generation, or the events leading up to Vietnam and Watergate.
The rivalry that existed between Kennedy and Nixon is still relevant. It is the classic rivalry of Caesar and Brutus: friends at first, enemies in the end.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has any of the aforementioned interests.
Balanced but superficial.......2004-12-10
Matthews provides a balanced and fair, if superficial, examination of Nixon and Kennedy. As an avid studier of this era of politics, and Nixon in particular, I didn't learn a whole lot that I did not already know. But this book, I don't think, is meant to provide the function of in-depth scholarly research. It's pleasant fluff, for people who might be interested in learning a little bit about Nixon and Kennedy, but don't want to invest too much energy and brain power. And there's nothing wrong with that. I think we all have subjects we'd like to know a little bit more about, but don't necessarily want to make a major scholarly investment in.
Matthews' writing style is easily digestible and entertaining, even if it does make you think that Matthews might just be as stupid in real life as he appears on TV. He also provides a solid and fair account free of egregious errors. If anything, I might be inclined to believe he has a slight bias towards Nixon and against Kennedy in terms of their respective treatments. Despite Watergate, and my own liberal leanings, I tend to have a similar bias so it didn't bother me. Nevertheless, Kennedy and especially Nixon are both fascinating figures, and Matthews does a credible job of capturing what makes the both of them so interesting. In short, I'd give this book a fairly mild recommendation, with the understanding that there are better books about each figure out there, and Matthews does not provide any crucial, original, or insightful analysis. It is good for the person with a mild interest, who'd like to know a bit more about Kennedy and Nixon, but who does not have the time or energy for something heftier.
Superb!.......2004-10-04
Chris Matthews, the host of Hardball, clearly composed a masterwork in "Nixon & Kennedy". The book is well written and manages to take a non-partisan look at the rivalry. While the book is clearly not a complete biography of either man's life, the unique angle of the politcal rivalry between these men should be pleasing to readers of history.
Nixon and Kennedy could not be more different in their backgrounds. Kennedy came from a wealthy background, while Nixon was not nearly as fortunate. Despite their differences, they developed a mutual admiration for one another after they entered congress in 1947. Both Nixon and Kennedy were viewed as up and comers for their respective parties, curious as to who would go farther in his career first.
Their rivalry came to a tragic end when JFK was assassinated in 1963. Yet the rivalry lived on through other member of the Kennedy family. First, the spector of Bobby Kennedy running off of his brother's legacy frightened Nixon. RFK's assassination would extinguish any Nixon versus RFK poltical battles before they came to fruition. Without a Kennedy in the way, Nixon was able to win the White House.
Even after the first term in office, Nixon's biggest threat was another Kennedy. While Ted Kennedy's Presidential aspirations were evaporated by a car accident, Nixon continued to feel threatened. These feelings of inferiority led Nixon's administration to the dirty deeds involved in Watergate. Ironically, Ted Kennedy led the charge that ended Nixon's Presidency through his resignation.
Matthews goes into surprising detail on a number of topics in the book. I found the chapters on Watergate to be more thorough than many sources. The overall picture is a revealling look into American politics in the 1960's and 1970's. Truly, I took great pleasure in reading this book.
A Political Page-Turner.......2004-06-06
This book on mid-twentieth century politics reads like a page-turning novel. It follows Kennedy (and Kennedy's brothers, after JFK's assassination) and Nixon from World War II to Watergate, providing many little-known details and stories about the two men, meaning that both political junkies and people only moderately interested in politics will find the book both informative and entertaining. It is a great introduction to American political history of the 1950s and 1960s.
