"Who's Who in the JFK Assassination" is yet another in a long line of well-researched and documented reports on this deeply troubling subject. It was actually possible to learn something new from reading. In fact, that is exactly what happens every time this reviewer reads more on the JFK murder."Who's Who" is notable in that there is no true narrative. The text is arrayed in a pure research format. Every single person who has any possible connection with the events of November 22, 1963 is listed in straight alphabetical order. Some entries are a mere single sentence, others go on for pages. Each entry is annotated to help the reader do deeper research. This review will not attempt to skewer the Warren Commission, the CIA or the other bad guys. That has been done vey capably before. Instead it will list new unanswered questions or new facts (new to this reviewer) concerning JFK's murder. These are listed here:>Why did then Vice-President Johnson attempt to move Texas Governor Connally out of the President's limo? What did LBJ know in advance?>Why did the Dallas office of the FBI wait until the very day (!) of Connally's burial to ask permission to examine his wrist for bullet fragments? An examination might have proven that there was more than one shooter in Dallas that afternoon and destroyed the positively daft "Magic Bullet" theory. For more insight into the "theory" and an inclusive time frame of the President's murder, one should read "Six Seconds in Dallas" by Josiah Thompson.> This review will list without comment a direct quote from Jesse Curry, Dallas Chief of Police at the time of the murder: "We don't have any proof that Oswald fired that weapon and never did. Nobody yet has been able to place him in that building (the Book Depository) with a gun in his hand">Also listed without comment is this quote from John J. McCloy. That gentlemen was a Warren Commission member and former President of the World Bank. He asserted that the WC agenda was "to show that America is not a banana republic where a government can be changed by conspiracy""Who's Who" also relates many instances of the botched autopsies of JFK and the myriad of suspicious deaths of men and women with any connections to the murder, however remote.This reviewer read "Who's Who" sequentially, as in a regular publication. Others, especially those doing research may wish to concentrate on a particular aspect or specific individuals. "Who's Who" grants that flexibility.Those misguided naysayers who cling to the fantasy that JFK was murdered by a lone gunmen should read "Who's Who". WW does not espouse a certain point but lays out the facts, allowing the reader to decide independently where the responsibilities lie for the terrible events of November 22, 1963. That is its strength.

I first obtained this book in the softcover edition some years back. The kindle edition is very welcome. The kindle edition takes its place with the Warren Report (two different digital editions; Jim Marrs' Crossire; The Book of Facts; The Report of the HSCA. Its summaries of the people who were involved and those who became involved in the President's assassination is invaluable. For those of us who are old enough, this book is a good memory enhancer. What the reader thinks he/she knows about the main facts and events pales in the face of some of the information. No one actually knows what the original sniper's nest looks like because because boxes were moved and rearranged as anyone and everyone tramped through the 6th Floor of the TSBD and those same boxes were staged into a "sniper's nest" arrangement for news crew filming the search for evidence several times. A reminder that the TSBD was not immediately sealed by the Dallas Police as reported in the Warren Report. All of the information contained in this book focuses on the people involved which makes the information that much more vibrant and poignant. It is a must have book. It is vital for its bibliography as well.

Just got through reading this book. What a wealth of info. I am now going to read High Treason, which is referred to many times in the A to Z book. If you don't walk away from this without a doubt that there was a major conspiracy, I don't know what planet you're from. Just when you think you know who did it, there are more and more people introduced to the theory, leaving you consumed by curiosity. What a great book. This books lists alphabetically the people who were involved in the assassination, the Oswald shooting, and the Tippit shooting.

Excellent book to keep on hand for anyone delving into the murky world of assassination
