Accomplishing Jim Garrison’s Investigation on the Trail of the Assassins of JFK Paperback – 5 July 2021

Quite an eye opener with lots of investigation detail.All adds up to the cover up of JFK's assassination.

This highly documented and very compelling book is essential reading for anyone wanting to know the truth about the assassination of JFK. Excellent. EDIT: I came here to write a more articulated review of Mr. Metta's exquisite book, when I noticed the presence of two other reviewers, one Blake Krass and one Tierney Wayne. They are both laughable, and I explain why. Let us start with Wayne. He cannot attack the content of Metta’s book because the content is solid. So, he tries to dig up dirt on Mr. Metta by attacking Metta’s language skills. Wayne solemnly proclaims to be the steadiest defender in the world of the English grammar rules and cries that the book is unreadable and that Mr. Metta should urgently contact an editor or even a proofreader. Apart from being untrue, Wayne’s claim is funny because it is Wayne, the self-proclaimed defender of the purity of the English idiom, who should urgently contact a proofreader. In fact, in his review, Wayne writes “nittiest grittiest”, while the correct way to write it is ‘nittiest-grittiest”. He also starts his review with an ‘unfortunately’ after which a comma is needed, but that comma is not there, of course. That said, do something faster and better than reading Wayne’s review. Use your own eyes. Use your own brain. Read the synopsis of Metta’s book. Clear, plain, good English. Read also, please, the preview of Metta’s book by clicking on the Look inside arrow. Clear, plain, good English once again. Perfectly readable. Now, buy Metta’s book. It costs as little as 18.50 dollars for the paperback version; 21 dollars for the hardcover version; and only 14 dollars for the electronic version. Enjoy more than 400 pages full of exclusive and unmissable revelations about the assassination of JFK. Enjoy more than 700 footnotes detailing the sources of all these revelations. Be proud of having bought a volume that is an immense step forward in understanding who were the real culprits of that horrendous crime.Let us now examine the review by Blake Krass. Sorry, but I cannot help saying that this is an unacceptable series of falsities. For example, Krass affirms that Jim Garrison talks about the Centro Mondiale Commerciale only once in his own book. Krass’s statement is a blatant lie: Garrison talks about the CMC from pages 87 to 90; then again, at page 118; and again, at page 251. Therefore, Metta is completely correct when he writes: "Jim Garrison strongly and repeatedly remarks the relevance of the CMC in his own book on which Oliver Stone’s movie is based." This also means that Krass is totally unable to read a book with all the due attention and diligence. Or with all due honesty. Krass also regrets that Mr. Metta had put the table of contents at the end of the book. Sorry, again, but there is no rule that makes a TOC mandatory at the beginning of a book. On the contrary, a TOC at the end is absolutely common here in Europe. Therefore, what Krass says sounds a little xenophobic to me. Well, maybe more than a little. Krass then laments that Mr. Metta's book is unreadable because of the format and the use of italics. In other words, he uses the same mean means that Wayne used to dig up dirt on Mr. Metta. This claim is similarly false. I read it without problems because italics cannot in any way make a book unreadable, the typefaces are more than fine, and the format is perfect. But the most unacceptable part is that, on the basis of these series of falsities, Krass had put 1 star. And he even admitted that he stopped reading at page 30! I find this attitude very shameful. Finally, as mentioned, Amazon graciously offers the opportunity to look inside a book before buying it. What you see there is identical to what you get, fonts, format, words, anything. So, why did Krass buy Metta's book the same? Why did Wayne buy it? Their behaviour sounds too fishy.

I loved the Jim Garrison book, which I reread recently, and thought this might make an interesting follow-up. I was wrong. I made it through about 30 pages before giving up. My top three complaints:1) The format was strange. The barely readable table of contents (see photo for the first of three pages) was at the END of the book and there is no index.2) The writing was odd in a couple of ways. English is not Mr Metta's native language, so allowing some leeway is reasonable, but it was too much. The language is too flowery, with frequent overuse of adjectives and adverbs. Even more distracting is the vast overuse of Italics. Using it for foreign words and phrases is fine, but the unending use for emphasis is too much. (see photo)3) In at least one place (page 8) it mischaracterizes the Garrison book in my opinion. "Jim Garrison strongly (Italics) and repeatedly (Italics) remarks the [sic] relevance (Italics) of the CMC in his own book...." Garrison makes ONE reference to Shaw being tied to the CMC and the CMC being involved in bad acts like foreign assassinations.Edited to add: Another reviewer pointed out that a TOC at the end of book is not unusual in Europe. I don't think that's the case across Europe, but I guess it does happen occasionally. That was not the primary reason for my rating however, so it remains as is.
