JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters26 reviews
James W. Douglass

Orbis Books, 2008

Remember what Santayana Said
This reviewer raptly read Mark Lane's Rush To Judgement, Jim Garrison's On the Trail of the Assassins: My Investigation and Prosecution of the Murder of President Kennedy, and Jim Mars' Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy when they were first published. This reviewer became jaded at the fictions published by the Warren Commission and the House Select Commission on Assassinations, and like ... 		  
  







  
  
Brothers: The Hidden History of the Kennedy Years60 reviews
David Talbot

Free Press, 2007

Historical AND Enjoyable
If you're interested in conspiracy theories for the Kennedy assassination, this is probably not the book to read. However, if you're interested in the Kennedy administration itself, its key players and the various issues it dealt with, this is a must-read. Well written and entertaining to read, BROTHERS gives a historical yet personal and enjoyable description of John & Bobby Kennedy's time in ... 		  
  







  
  
Behold a Pale Horse200 reviews
William Cooper, Milton William Cooper

Light Technology Publications, 1991

Will you believe??
Interested in conspiracy theories? This book has them all. It's not an easy read, but once you get used to the writers style it becomes easy to go through. There are copies of documents in this book that are questionable, even though they look legitimate. I find it hard to believe that a document is left on an old copier that was purchased at surplus. I also find it hard to believe the account of ... 		  
  







  
  
Stone Cold133 reviews
David Baldacci

Grand Central Publishing, 2007

Stone Cold is Red Hot
Stone Cold is a mind magnet that pulls you from page to page. The action moves at a blistering pace, but stops every now and then so you can catch your breath and enjoy the clever and witty prose. The characters are rich and deep as needed for a thriller to move with agility and purpose along a sharp plotline. Bestseller Baldacci gets another solid hit----5 stars! 		  
  







  
  
The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality1135 reviews
Jerome R. Corsi

Threshold Editions, 2008

a lesson in reality versus spin
At the outset, I will acknowledeg that I am a John McCain supporter. Nevertheless, if only a third of Dr. Corsi's allegations in this book are true, and the laws of libel being ewhat they are, I suspect that far more tan a third are valid. then the subject of the book is an exceedingly dangerous choice for the White House. Books like this are written because the main-stream media is not doing its ... 		  
  







  
  
Don't Start the Revolution Without Me!50 reviews
Jesse Ventura

Skyhorse Publishing, 2008

True Patriot
This man is a true rough around the edges guy who has been serving his country since his youth, like his family. He is a rough and tumble guy who will tell you like it is with no sugar coating, excess calories nor fat and this comes too much for some to handle. He has risked his life serving his country in numerous ways and in his Epilogue shows what could happen. I really admire this ... 		  
  







  
  
Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer (P.S.)230 reviews
James L. Swanson

Harper Perennial, 2007

The facts of Lincoln's assassination that you never learned in school.
Without a doubt, one of the best books I've read in a very long time. This non-fiction book reads like a suspense novel. I read it in a day and a half. So incredibly well researched and written, this account of Booth's 12-day escape after Lincoln's assassination is almost an hour-by-hour account of his every move. Utterly compelling...a must read!!! 		  
  







  
  
Dr. Mary's Monkey: How the Unsolved Murder of a Doctor, a Secret Laboratory in New Orleans and Cancer-Causing ...24 reviews
Edward T. Haslam

Trine Day, 2007

Dr. Mary's Monkey Edward T. Haslam
An incredible journey.Absolutely Brilliant writing! A book that should be in everyone's home. The millions of children innoculated with the polio vaccine,that were contaminated with monkey virus'. This led to a possible development of soft tissus in later life,(and possibly AIDS). Even worse after the discovery,was the cover-up by the Government.You can NOT put this book down.The documentation ... 		  
  







  
  
Putin's Labyrinth: Spies, Murder, and the Dark Heart of the New Russia4 reviews
Steve Levine

Random House, 2008

Compelling read that brings the news to life
Putin's Labyrinth is the kind of book that only a journalist -- a particularly good journalist -- could write. It takes the news and pulls and prods at it, showing you how it turns on the actions of people, some ordinary, some extraordinary. I'd been mildly curious about what is happening inside Russia these days, and seeing how the book purported to tie together so many recent headlines of the ... 		  
  







  
  
Julius Caesar (The New Folger Library Shakespeare)15 reviews
William Shakespeare

Washington Square Press, 2004

The Power Of Language
Julius Caesar is murdered very shortly into this play so while he bears the title the play is about the conspirators and the supporters of caesar and the struggle for power that comes after his asassination. The power of language to persude the masses and the fickle nature of crowds are only a few of the themes that Shakespeare explores. Shakespeare explores the nature of tyranny, politics and ... 		  
  







  
  
Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy164 reviews
Vincent Bugliosi

W. W. Norton, 2007

Outstanding and uncompromising...
Vincent Bugliosi is arguably one of the brightest legal minds this country has ever seen. What more can be said for twenty years of research, trying Oswald after the fact and obtaining a conviction, and an eye for the smallest detail that establishes this book as the final word on the JFK assassination. His analysis of the facts, from every conceivable angle, and laying out all the conspiracy ... 		  
  







  
  
Vengeance: The True Story of an Israeli Counter-Terrorist Team67 reviews
George Jonas

Simon & Schuster, 2005

An eye-opener on the nature of counter-terrorism
I read "Notes on a controversy" at the end of the book first, because this justification of the text by the author deals with the issue of veracity. The book has apparently been attacked on this score, and of course the very nature of the subject excludes the possibility of total and certain verification of all the facts, but the author makes a convincing case of the techniques he used in ... 		  
  







  
  
April 1865: The Month That Saved America (P.S.)195 reviews
Jay Winik

Harper Perennial, 2006

Peace with honor, Union with peace
This is a deeply moving history of the great men who believed in duty, honor, country and made courageous decisions that preserved the Union. I have read many of the very positive as well as the more critical reviews of this great work by Jay Winik. If Winik had included all of the detail of the final battles this would have been a lesser work. I would strongly recommend first reading "The ... 		  
  







  
  
Murder in Amsterdam: Liberal Europe, Islam, and the Limits of Tolerence4 reviews
Ian Buruma

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007

Exceeds expectations
I had traveled to Amsterdam twice before picking up Buruma's book with only a faint understanding of who Theo Van Gogh was or why he was murdered, but this book weaves European history, demographics and an understanding of radical Islam into a cogent explanation of why the Dutch filmmaker was murdered. I was impressed by Buruma's explanation of the motives of T. Van Gogh's assassin, the Moroccan ... 		  
  







  
  
Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy68 reviews
Jim Marrs

Basic Books, 1993

JFK's Assassination
If you really want to know what happened on November 22, 1963 in Dallas and why the President was murdered, then get this book. Jim Marrs does not give us another crazy theory about what took place that day. He thoroughly interviewed many witnesses and wrote what they said they saw and heard. He spent 25 years investigating all aspects of the assassination. He informs the reader of the ... 		  
  







  
  
Four Days in November: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy6 reviews
Vincent Bugliosi

W. W. Norton, 2008

"Some day you'll hang your heads in shame...My son [may be] the unsung hero of this episode."--Marguerite, Oswald's mother
When Vincent Bugliosi wrote Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, published in May, 2007, the predecessor of the book being reviewed here, it was widely regarded as his magnum opus, a towering masterpiece which took twenty years and 1648 pages to write. In this new edition about the assassination, drawn from Reclaiming History, Bugliosi has now winnowed the original ... 		  
  







  
  
Assassination Vacation134 reviews
Sarah Vowell

Simon & Schuster, 2006

This book rocks!
I usually don't write reviews, but when i saw that this book didn't have 5 of 5 stars i was shocked! I loved it. Not only do I own the book, I own the author narrated audio version! 		  
  







  
  
Julius Caesar (Shakespeare Made Easy)43 reviews
William Shakespeare

Barron's Educational Series, 1985

Excellent Shakespeare Classic
Shakespeare wrote Julius Caesar in about 1599. The play was the first of three Roman plays. Shakespeare based the source material for the play on a translation of a work by the Greek philosopher and biographer Plutarch, called "The lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans". Shakespeare, like Plutarch, praises and criticises the actions of the main characters in the assassination of Julius Caesar. ... 		  
  







  
  
Rain Fall97 reviews
Barry Eisler

Signet, 2003

Discovering Rain Fall
Searching for a new author is an adventure wrought with time spent reading jacket blurbs or rear covers. Personally, I like to do this in bookstores. Nothing is better than walking the aisles, randomly lifting a book from a shelf, and reading the first page if the blurb proves tempting enough. As an added bonus I like to discover that the central characters in the story will reappear in a ... 		  
  







  
  
The Kitchen Boy: A Novel of the Last Tsar59 reviews
Robert Alexander

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2004

Mystery Solved?
I checked out this book on the recommendations of several bloggers. I have always been interested in the fate of Nicholas II and his family, so it seemed a natural choice. I was pleasantly surprised. The Kitchen Boy was a quick and very enjoyable read. Beginning as the Romanovs are in exile, Alexander traces their final days and the events leading to their execution. The story is told by ...
