Title: Not a scholarly book
Product review: Livingstone writes like many journalists. He makes mistakes, and often makes sweeping conclusions with little or no support.One glaring error occurs on page 36. He states that the saddle was placed backward on Black Jack, the president's horse, in the funeral procession. I knew better, but found a photograph and confirmed that the saddle had been installed properly. The boots were backward in the stirrups, as is the custom. Mounting the saddle backward might have turned Black Jack into a bucking horse! This kind of error indicates to me that Livingstone is not a very careful researcher. It led me to read the rest of the book with little faith that Livingstone knew what he was writing about.I believe there is a lot of evidence that JFK's murder resulted from a conspiracy. However, Livingstone would not be a credible source for facts.
