JFK RFK MLK Assassination Forum

I also have Jim DiEugenio's book "Destiny Betrayed" which focuses on the Garrison investigation. It is in my top 5 of JFK books, It is that good. I suggest members get this book too!Yes I also have Jim's book and cannot recommend it highly enough!

One thing to note about RFK's book is that the second half is written by someone else and is a lot 'drier' than RFK's first person witness account. This second part is a pretty good analysis looking back, but is still missing some of the material redacted until the 2007 release.In retrospect I also ...

Bob, I have Robert Kennedy's book Thirteen Days, which is his personal recollection, minus the 'Top Secret' details that he was not allowed to talk about if he wanted to have the book published.
