- Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2012I really enjoyed Dr. Crenshaw's perspective of the JFK cover up. Wow, even the American Medical Association and the journal the JADA were not beyond the reach of the conspirators, as they made every attempt to discredit the author, even though he wrote his book almost 30 years after the event!! The story was a good read, though I don't know why he needed to use swear words like "g-- d----" in it, as it added nothing to the story and served only make Dr. C. look unprofessional on that point. The medical cover up was sad! LBJ himself calling the emergency room to put in his request for a death bed confession of Oswald was sinister. Evil is the word to describe the medical coverup. I was glad that he told his story before dying, but disappointed that he didn't tell it at the time of the event; yes he would would have lost his career and possibly been killed, but it would've been a courageous thing to do. Jean Hill in "The Last Dissenting Witness" displayed such courage. I'm not sure what I would've done; it was a frightening and confusing time.
The US democratic system has not recovered from the coup d'état of November 22, 1963. LBJ and his ilk will give an account before God for what they did. The will story continues to have life as long as the media and the government continue to deny the obvious.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2005Dr. Crenshaw has written a very credible book and survived the attempts of those who try to discredit him such as the Journal of the American Medical Association which lost a defamation suit in this matter. That speaks for itself.
I have to comment on the "physics" of those who are trying the old melon argument. This one has always been laughable, but just for the fun of argument let's take it on. Hmmmm, firstly the difference between the melon and a head is that the head is attached to a body but the melons aren't. Melons are softer too. So the melons went forward after being shot from the front? That may only be because the melon is very soft and the bullet passes through it without resistance. A skull on the other hand is like rock, and the autopsy physicians claimed they found only tiny splinters of the fatal bullet in the president's head. That by itself suggests explosive ammo was used which could not have been used in Oswald's rifle as a Mannlicher Carcano cannot handle such ammo. The ammo for Oswald's rifle was designed to pass through more than one body without losing much of its mass.
If melons go forward after shot from the front, that proves that melons go forward after being shot from the front. Did anyone try shooting melons from the back to see which way they go? Oh, you want to argue that it does not matter because the melon is the same no matter which direction you shoot it from. Yeah, right. Except that the melon is still NOT a human head. After you have stopped laughing,just consider this: If the melons went forward that still says NOTHING about what happens to a human head if attached to a body! It seems these melons are best enjoyed with SOUR GRAPES!!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2013Dr. Crenshaw lays out the medical facts about what he personally witnessed at Parkland about both JFK and Oswald. He also discusses the 'autopsy' done at Bethesda and provides in depth discrepancies between the medical evidence.
So why 4 stars instead of 5? He goes into almost a minute by minute timetable of his experiences over that weekend. Some of the recollection was about what he did while away from the hospital (he went home & tried to sleep, etc) is his biography of his overall life. Which I personally wasn't interested in.
I have read and heard that some of the other doctors dispute what he says and have attempted to demean him, but based on my overall knowledge of the facts of that weekend, he speaks the truth. There is plenty of corroborating evidence, especially the contemporaneous accounts of what was reported that fully backup the words in his book.
Some of the other Parkland doctors are apologists for the Warren Commission Report and I find THEM to be telling a false narrative, not Dr. Crenshaw. Someone who finally decided to speak the truth after years of professional threats and intimidation.
Great book and I HIGHLY recommend you read this. There is a lot of important detail which has not been previously discussed. I've read hundreds of books on the assasination and learned things I didn't know.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Parkland Hospital Doctor's Opinion
The author was one of the attending physicians at Parkland Hospital. He tells what he saw. What he saw was what came out of the limousine. Enough said. These are the only doctors that had that experience. What they saw matters - all that matters.

4.0 out of 5 stars Important contribution to the history of JFK assassination
I have read a few dozen books on the subject and this one is straight from the horses' mouth. For students of the JFK murder this is a must read - at least the first half is. The latter half is just padding, contributions from others who add little to Crenshaw's perspective. Unlike most of the books on the subject which I have read, the author is literate. Worth the read!
