From Publishers Weekly

Bugliosi, best known as Charles Manson's prosecutor, spent more than 20 years writing this defense of the Warren Commission's conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the slaying of President Kennedy, but his obsession has produced a massive tome that's likely to overwhelm most readers. At times, the author seems determined to present every detail his researches revealed, even if it doesn't add to the overall picture (like a footnote on Elvis sightings). Further, while Bugliosi says even serious conspiracy theorists don't claim the FBI or Secret Service were involved, he devotes chapters to each. The book's structure—it's organized by subject, such as theories about the role of the FBI, the KGB or anti-Castro Cubans—leads to needless repetition, and, for an author who excoriates conspiracy theorists, charging them with carelessness and making wild accusations, Bugliosi is not always temperate in his language; for example, twice he makes the nonsensical claim that some Warren Commission critics "were screaming the word conspiracy before the fatal bullet had come to rest." His decision to devote twice as many pages to critiquing Oliver Stone's movie JFK as to his chapter on organized crime (identified by the chief counsel of the House Select Committee on Assassination as the likely conspirators) is a curious one, as is the choice to open the book with a dramatic re-creation of events surrounding the assassination rather than a straightforward chronology of the relevant facts. Moreover, Bugliosi does not always probe whether individuals who are the sole source for certain facts (for example, Oswald's widow, Marina) had any motive to lie. Bugliosi's voluminous endnotes are on an accompanying CD. Gerald Posner's 1993 Case Closed made most of the same points in a much more concise way. 32 pages of illus. (May)

From AudioFile

Prosecutor Bugliosi's investigation into the assassination of President Kennedy disputes, point by point, the dozens of conspiracy theories surrounding the shooting, chiefly Oliver Stone's film, JFK. Narrator Edward Herrmann creates a pleasing but authoritative tone and perfectly paces data that might, in other hands, be overwhelming in its detail and scope. There are moments when Bugliosi's tone is mocking of the authors who believe there was more than one shooter in the murder of the president. Overall, the theories of plots involving the FBI, the CIA, and the ³military-industrial complex² are explained and dismissed. A caution: While most of us have seen the Zapruder film of the president's shooting, this reviewer experienced a visceral revulsion as the assassination was examined moment by moment.

5.0étoiles sur 5 a refreshing breath of sanity, Jui 8 2007
Par G. Richard (British Columbia, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
If you want or need to believe that someone other than Oswald shot Kennedy, then do not read this book because you're going to be disappointed. You're not going to find any corroboration of weird and wonderful X-Files theories or things "the government doesn't want you to know". What you are going to find is: (a) the most completely researched and comprehensive presentation of the facts of the case available anywhere; and, (b) a very logical interpretation of those facts. But let's make no mistake. This book makes very, very clear that Oswald and only Oswald shot Kennedy and that is highly, highly unlikely that Oswald acted as part of a larger conspiracy.

This is the definitive book on the Kennedy assassination. The author has investigated virtually every facet of the case. He's reviewed the findings of most investigations, looked into their sources, looked at corroborative and contradictory evidence, sought expert opinion on the plausibility of different events, interviewed key players and then subjected all this information to a logical analysis. If you want to know why the "magic bullet theory" is the "single bullet fact", it's in here. (It is so compelling that I have a hard time beleiving some of the reviewers even read this book) The end result is a comprehensive, complete, logical, and above all else, intellectually honest treatment of the assassination. For one of your reviewers to say it was, "poorly researched" was just unbelievable.

It's a long book but that shouldn't deter anyone. The book is really a collection of books on different aspects of the case and most of these could be read as stand alones. If time is a factor, I would recommend simply reading two of the sections, "4 Days in November" and, "Lee Harvey Oswald". These are compelling narratives. "4 Days in November" is as good an account of the events leading up to and following the case as anything I have read. After reading "Lee Harvey Oswald" I gained some real understanding of what motivated the murder and I will never look at the picture of Marina Oswald at her husband's funeral in the same way. The other sections of the book can be used as reference materials. The index is excellent and most of the contentious issues, such as the autopsy and the so-called magic bullet, have their own chapter in any event.

Of course, if you only read parts of the book you will deny yourself the pleasure of seeing one of the greatest frauds ever perpetuated systematically demolished in a compelling, deservedly sarcastic and, at times, outright hilarious way. I had no idea Mr. Bugliosi could be so funny. I laughed out loud as he analyzed the credibility of conspiracy supporter Robert Groden.

It's a great book. There are a few errors. For example, I noticed a typo on page 417, (it should read the right "rear" of his head) but Mr. Bugliosi has done a great public service. It's quite frightening to think that so many people have been bamboozled into believing something so wrong and with such sinister implications and through such intellectually dishonest means. The Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories remind me of the "stab in the back" myth that took hold in Weimar Germany. By exposing the mother of all conspiracy theories and revealing how its many variants were "sold" to people, Mr. Bugliosi is really defending reason itself and I feel a little better about the world knowing that there are still people doing that.

1.0étoiles sur 5 mighty mind o'erthrown, Mai 28 2007
Par Pamela Kyle Crossley "Crossley" (Norwich, Vermont, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I am in agreement with a lot of the sentiment expressed in some reviews, looking on in wonder and disillusionment at this book. I too admired Bugliosi's books on the Simpson case and the Supreme Court debacle of 2000. The quality of thought and presentation shown in those books is absent from this monstrosity. There is no nuance or texture, there is no new research of any sort, and the contradictions and incomplete reasoning are very thick under foot. Gratuitous personal slights and demonization of a whole range of loosely connected people whom Bugliosi cements into a mass of "nuts" are splattered all over the pages. This is a very sad blight on both Bugliosi and Norton.

The only thing I can assume is that Bugliosi threw down his gauntlet on the Oswald case in 1967 when he argued very publicly the case against Oswald as a lone assassin and then picked up a huge advance from Norton to write the book; possibly he was under pressure to actually produce the book, and decided to cover his lack of interest and/or knowledge under a bloat of prose. A great deal is known now that wasn't known then (though it is hard to appreciate this from the way Bugliosi discusses the evidence). Neither Bugliosi nor Norton seem to have figured out that after so many years of delay what Bugliosi has to say about this is no longer relevant, unless he would have gone back and done many years of research. Both parties would have been better off to have swallowed the loss and moved on. They used the shortcut of a patched-up pile of research and writing by who knows how many people, extremely biased and not very well informed.

The result is a lamely reasoned, poorly researched, disorganized, pretentious, arrogant and embarrassing clunker. I hope Bugliosi is able to recoup his loss in credibility and respect with another good book some day. I guess I remain an admirer, though this stunt has me wondering about him and his publisher.

This review is from: Final Verdict (Hardcover)
I have been a huge fan of Mr. Bugliosi for over 25 years. I have read most of your work and have read some titles three and four times. But the advance publicity of this new work is changing my opinion of your work. I have read the warren report, I also have read over 30 books about the assassination. Too much of the warren report has been PROVEN to be false. There is a reason why Nixon said " the warren report is the greatest hoax ever" because it is fiction...the perponderance of evidence points to a conspiricy and the last official investigation by the House of representitives also published their view that there was a conspiricy. I don't get it...to me this is just a smoke screen to take advantage of the 40TH anniversery...I would rethink your stratagy because I won't be the only fan that questions your motives on this work.
