Former Warren Commission lawyer Burt Griffin examines the Kennedy assassination, its investigations, effects on the Cold War and civil rights movement, and the motives of Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby in this book. Griffin begins with his own skeptical reaction to the assassination and proceeds to the Dallas police investigation. He and his colleagues sift truth from those who concealed, withheld, or exaggerated evidence. After nearly six decades of study, Griffin concludes that Oswald acted alone and that violence in the Cold War and civil rights movement caused him to believe that blame for Kennedy's death might be placed on followers of rightwing activist and former U.S. Army general Edwin Walker. The author gives the Walker movement a more prominent place in the assassination story and traces the conflicting ambitions of Walker, Oswald, Kennedy, and Ruby as they collided in October and November 1963. This book will help serious readers separate truth from fiction and become examiners of how insignificant, unsuspected, powerless people driven by personal needs and fears can alter the course of history with a firearm.
