Very well written and heavily researched, Vince Bugliosi has done a masterful job of explaining what happened and detailing the evidence in a very understandable manner. Interestingly he directly addresses many of the conspiracy theories and debunks them. Note that this book was the basis for the film "Parkland".
The author is very strong that Oswald acted alone and that Ruby acted alone, he paints a convincing picture of two lone nuts, coincidence, happenstance and accident bringing them together at just the right time in just the right wrong way. The author also explains a lot of the autopsy controversies and how they happened. That works as far as it goes.
My problem with the JFK assassination is that in every investigation and going through every President and every administration since there have been promises and commissions and investigations and executive orders to declassify the evidence and somehow there are still mountains of documents and evidence which are locked away and hidden. Fifty years later i can visit a 1950s missile silo, i can see nuclear weapon blueprints, and even read about actual spies on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Up until the recent Crimea crisis the Cold War had ended. But there are still warehouses full of evidence which may never be released in my lifetime. That tells me that something is wrong, there is still some "truth" being hidden, something which we are not being told. I don't pretend to know what that hidden "truth" is but something is definitely still hidden.
Oswald was a putz, i can't imagine that he could organize a loud burp much less be part of any conspiracy. But I also couldn't manipulate a bolt action rifle and get off three shots in under ten seconds with any sort of precision either. Try it yourself, most shooting ranges will let you borrow or rent a rifle to try out, do the experiment yourself. See if you can do it, three shots with a cheap bolt action rifle, lousy scope, 6.8 seconds, two out of three hits on a target moving away from you.....through foliage.......try it, see if you can do it. I couldn't. But this clown Oswald was able to do it?
Let's disregard a whole bunch of other stuff, the Grassy Knoll, the eyewitnesses, the "three tramps" and etc. Disregard all of that noise. Let's look at what was happening in Dallas at that point, what the Dallas police were dealing with around 1PM on November 22nd. First there was a near riot going on in Dealey Plaza and a massive investigation going on. Lots of law enforcement people involved. Second there was a major security operation going on at Love Field, securing Air Force One. Third there was another large group at Parkland Hospital investigating the shooting, protecting Johnson and eventually transporting Johnson to the airport. Fourth there was a police shooting, when Officer Tippit was shot. I've seen the police response to an officer being shot, it's massive. All of this is going on pretty much simultaneously.
The police dispatcher gets a call that someone sneaked into a movie theater without paying. On a normal day maybe one or two cops would show up an hour later........even today sneaking into a movie theater isn't a high priority police call. But on November 22nd 1963 three cars full of cops with a press contingent following them respond............and there is nothing to explain why the response was so massive..........
This book is well worth reading whether you believe the Warren Commission Report or not.

Maybe the best and certainly the longest (over a thousand pages)
One of the top 3 truthful books on the JFK assassination. Maybe the best and certainly the longest (over a thousand pages). Only Bugliosi could put it so well and factual. JFK was assassinated by LHO, no one else and no other entity was involved.this book - not for any knott headed conspiracy nut unless they wish to broaden their horizons on facts instead of seeing a gov. agencyperson behind every bush in their boring lives. Just read the facts....
