A COMFORTING LIE: The Myth that a Lone Gunman Killed President Kennedy

This book makes the argument for a plot and a cover-up in JFK’s death without the ideological bias, the abrasive political posturing, and the dubious speculation found in so many other books on the subject.

Drawing on the author’s years of research and using the latest information from declassified files, this book surveys the history of the JFK assassination investigations and then looks at key issues in the case. It examines the autopsy materials, the forensic and ballistics evidence, suspicious events in Dealey Plaza, the alleged lone assassin’s marksmanship skills and his supposed shooting feat, the wounding of James Tague, extra bullets and missed shots, the Secret Service’s disturbing failure to protect the President, and a host of other issues.

This book also presents a refreshing new look at JFK’s politics and at his intentions regarding the Vietnam War.
