Synopsis

November 22, 2013 marks the 50th anniversary of the tragedy that has haunted America ever since. For the first time, this concise and compelling book pierces the veil of secrecy to fully document the small, tightly-held conspiracy that killed President John F. Kennedy. It explains why he was murdered, and how it was done in a way that forced many records to remain secret for almost fifty years.

The Hidden History of the JFK Assassination draws on exclusive interviews with more than two dozen associates of John and Robert Kennedy, in addition to former FBI, Secret Service, military intelligence, and Congressional personnel, who provided critical first-hand information. The book also uses government files—including the detailed FBI confession of notorious Mafia godfather Carlos Marcello—to simply and clearly reveal exactly who killed JFK. Using information never published before, the book uses Marcello's own words to his closest associates to describe the plot.

This book builds on the work of the last Congressional committee to investigate JFK's murder, which concluded that JFK "was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy," and that godfathers "[Santo] Trafficante [and Carlos] Marcello had the motive, means, and opportunity to assassinate President Kennedy."

Goodreads review by Don on December 04, 2013

The author puts forth this book (not his first on the subject) as being better suited to the general reader. While much of the book is still dense in its details and while the author has a bad habit of repeating bits over and over (perhaps he thinks that makes it more palatable), I would recommend t......more

As a student of the JFK assassination I've read a myriad of books related to the subject. This is the best one yet Meticulously research and logically presented. Evidence to back up all his theories. You gotta read this one. It answers the question "who killed JFK and why?"......more

Goodreads review by Michael on July 18, 2018

It seems completely plausible that mob godfather Carlos Marcello could've been a major player in the plot to kill Kennedy, especially when Waldron goes into Marcello's history with RFK and the notion of cutting off the head (JFK) and not the tail (his brother and Attorney General), but the book also......more
