As long as we are ignorant, we are not free
| Customer Rating: | James H. Fetzer exposes all the altered or destroyed evidence in the murder of JFK (the replacement of the windshield of the presidential limousine, the autopsy and the photographs of the body, the alteration of the Zapruder film), the silencing and strange death of witnesses and the still exceptional resistance of the government to open their secret files. As G. Orwell said: `Who controls the present, controls the past.'
For the author, the only hypothesis withstanding the impact of these new findings is that of a large-scale conspiracy, a coup d'Etat by Lyndon Johnson, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the intelligence community and the military industrial complex, because `neither the Mafia, pro- or contra Cubans, or the KGB could have extended their reach into Bethseda Naval Hospital to fabricate X-rays, substitute another brain of that of JFK, or subject the Zapruder film to extensive alteration in order to mislead and confuse further investigations and to impose a permanent falsification of history.'
He makes the hypothesis that Lee Harvey Oswald was all alone responsible for the death of JFK completely ridiculous.
He shows the baffling cowardice of the professional historians, who are afraid of research into one of the most important events in world history given its national and international consequences, and depicts the guild of journalists as the `most amateur of professions'.
All in all, J. Fetzer's book brushes a very bleak picture of a country run by its intelligence agencies, which accept democracy only if the outcome of `free' elections corresponds to their particular interests.
A must read for all those interested in the past, the present and the future of mankind.

Huge Disappointment
| Customer Rating: | The first adult book I ever read was my father's copy of Jim Marrs "Crossfire" I lapped up everything I could on the assignation until I was 15, when other school work became more important. Deciding to start reading more again, I found this book at my local Borders. What a disappointment! This was the book I credit with making me aware that the conspiracy theories are nothing more than hogwash.
The only thing discussed on this book I would consider myself an expert on is windshields (through my job). Now when having issues with Fetzer's dealings with w/screens, I initially assumed that w/screens at that point were made from flat glass. Not so. On page 136 (bought in Australia) Fetzer states that the w/screen was made from safety glass (which I'm assuming he is referring to laminated glass) and that "Safety glass responds to an object striking its surface in the opposite way of regular glass. A nontransiting shot at safety glass will leave the outside surface smooth while the inside surface will fragment" WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. Laminate glass is two pieces of glass with a bit of vinyl in between. If the glass is broken on the inside, the damage happened on the INSIDE of the w/screen. NOT the outside. They are two completely different pieces of glass, and it is very rare circumstances where an object will penetrate both pieces of glass.
I then read the ridiculous chapter on how the Zapruder film was faked. Now having read the conspiracy theories in the early to mid 90s, everyone was championing the Zapruder film as proof positive that JFK was hit from the front. Now that physicists have proven the shot came from the rear, the Zapruder film is faked!
If you want to have an open mind, there are a number of other books that are much better than this pile of excrement. Read them and you'll be smarter for it.

Was it a conspiracy?
| Customer Rating: | For students of the Kennedy assassination, Murder at Dealey Plaza offers a chilling chronology of personal movements and actual events leading up to, during, and directly after the murder of John F. Kennedy. The book packs an enormous amount of information into its 468 pages. Fetzer supports earlier premises, presented by Jim Garrison, Oliver Stone, and others, that Lee Harvey Oswald could not have kiled President John F. Kennedy.
Fetzer gives the reader times and locations of persons surrounding the assassination, building his case as he goes. Details abound throughout the book. Hobos, who were pictured in Jim Garrison's book, On The Trail of the Assassins, as riding a freight train into Dallas the morning before the assassination, arrested and released by Dallas police before the assassination took place, were identified by Fetzer, with a face and name. Fetzer also challenges Warren Commission findings on Lee Harvey Oswald as the lone gunman, presenting detailed information on Kennedy's autopsies, and disproving the "magic bullet" theory. Fetzer demonstrates through depositions and other documentation, that there were at least 6 shots fired in Dallas that day, 4 of which hit Kennedy. The author makes a convincing argument that Kennedy was hit twice from behind and twice from the front, and that he was killed with high velocity bullets-not the type of bullets used in Oswald's defective rifle. Fetzer presents evidence that could have made a case for Oswald's innocence, while describing how information was manipulated to the press at the time, for the purpose of assigning guilt for the assassination squarely on Lee Harvey Oswald.
Fetzer's book supports evidence of a plot to kill Kennedy. He notes with impecable details that warnings Kennedy might be killed in Dallas during his stay there were sent to every major city in the United States except for Dallas. Other strange scenarios the reader is told about include the 112th Military Intelligence Group at 4th Army Headquarters at Fort Sam Houston in Dallas, usually in charge of protecting the President, was told to "stand down" that day, rather than report for duty in Dallas, over the protests of the unit commander. Local sheriff's deputies and uniformed policemen were instructed to take no part in the security of the Presidential motorcade, and to stand with their backs to the crowd during the parade. Fetzer also tells the reader that Mrs. Kennedy remembered that in all their stops in Texas she was presented yellow roses, except for Dallas. In Dallas, the roses she was presented with upon arrival were red.
Was the JFK assassination a coup d'etat? The reader is left with a question.
Fetzer's style of presenting information in a minute by minute format through much of the book adds importance to facts surrounding the case. For seekers of truth on the Kennedy assassination, Fetzer's book is a wealth of information.
