(Yoko Ono)<br /><br />"In <i>JFK and the Unspeakable </i> Jim Douglass has distilled all the best available research into a very well-documented and convincing portrait of President Kennedy's transforming turn to peace, at the cost of his life. Personally, it has made a very big impact on me. After reading it in Dallas, I was moved for the first time to visit Dealey Plaza. I urge all Americans to read this book and come to their own conclusions about why he died and why -- after fifty years -- it still matters. (Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.)

  Advance Praise for
  
  
  JFK and the Unspeakable
  
  
  "JFK and the Unspeakable is an exceptional achievement. Douglass has made the
  
  
  strongest case so far in the JFK assassination literature as to the Who and
  the
  
  
  Why of Dallas. The conjunction of unrestrained elements in cold war
  Americadefense industry elites, Pentagon planners, and the heads of the
  intelligence community-were the forces that led inexorably to Dallas and the
  assassination of President John F. Kennedy."

  Breach of Trust: How the Warren Commission Failed the Nation and Why
  
  
  "With penetrating insight and unswerving integrity, Douglass probes the
  fundamental truths. about JFK's assassination. If, he contends, humanity
  permits those truths to slip into history ignored and undefined it does so at
  its own peril. By
  
  
  far the most important book yet written on the subject."
