EDITORIAL REVIEWS | Product Description For over forty years the truth about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy has been obscured. This book releases us from a crippling distortion of American history.
This extraordinary and historic book required twenty years to research and write. The oft-challenged findings of the Warren Commission—Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, shot and killed President John F. Kennedy—are here confirmed beyond all doubt. But Reclaiming History does much more than that. In addition to providing a powerful and unprecedented narrative of events and a biography of the assassin, it confronts and destroys every one of the conspiracy theories that have grown up since the assassination, exposing their selective use of evidence, flawed logic, and outright deceptions. So thoroughly documented, so compellingly lucid in its conclusions, Reclaiming History is, in a sense, the investigation that completes the work of the Warren Commission. In it, Vincent Bugliosi, the nation's foremost prosecutor, takes on the most important murder in American history.
At 1:00 p.m. on November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was pronounced dead, the victim of a sniper attack during his motorcade through Dallas. That may be the only fact generally agreed upon in the vast literature spawned by the assassination. National polls reveal that an overwhelming majority of Americans (75%) believe that there was a high-level conspiracy behind Lee Harvey Oswald. Many even believe that Oswald was entirely innocent. In this continuously absorbing, powerful, ground-breaking book, Vincent Bugliosi shows how we have come to believe such lies about an event that changed the course of history.
The brilliant prosecutor of Charles Manson and the man who forged an iron-clad case of circumstantial guilt around O. J. Simpson in his best-selling Outrage, Bugliosi is perhaps the only man in America capable of writing the definitive book on the Kennedy assassination. This is an achievement that has for years seemed beyond reach. No one imagined that such a book would ever be written: a single volume that once and for all resolves, beyond any reasonable doubt, every lingering question as to what happened in Dallas and who was responsible.
There have been hundreds of books about the assassination, but there has never been a book that covers the entire case, including addressing each and every conspiracy theory and the facts, or alleged facts, on which they are based. In this monumental work, the author has raised scholarship on the assassination to a new and final level, one that far surpasses all other books on the subject. It adds resonance, depth, and closure to the admirable work of the Warren Commission.
Reclaiming History is a narrative compendium of fact, forensic evidence, reexamination of key witnesses, and common sense. Every detail and nuance is accounted for, every conspiracy theory revealed as a fraud on the American public. Bugliosi's irresistible logic, command of the evidence, and ability to draw startling inferences shed fresh light on this American nightmare. At last it all makes sense. |
CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 3.5 based on 166 reviews)
| Pure horse manure all the way  Mr Bugloisi needs to review the Zapruder film and several other films by medical experts that disputes the Warren Commission conclusions. Mr Bugliosi must have been hard up for money because this book needs to go in the trash bin with all the other cheap dime store novels that are being produced today. Pure pulp fiction. November 15, 2008 | | Reclaiming History: A Review  Vincent Bugliosi has again come out with another riveting account of a true life crime.
Mr. Bugliosi captures every detail leaving the reader no doubt as to the guilt of L.H. Oswald in the assassination of president Kennedy and the murder of Officer J.D. Tippet.
It's a long read, but it tackles all the myths and legends of this crime as well. I find myself not wanting to put this book down no matter how tired I get or how late it gets.
As to the delivery of the book, I can only say that it arrived faster than I thought and it arrived in new condition as advertised. I encourage people to use Amazon for book purchases. You can really find excellent priced books. November 11, 2008 | | Watch the videos  The fatal shot knocks Kennedy's head back and to the left, blows the right side and the back of his head out, and sprays pieces of his skull behind him onto the trunk of the car. (Jackie Kennedy climbs onto the trunk to retrieve a piece of his skull.) Line up a few coconuts, shoot them one at a time with a high powered rifle and notice which way the pieces fly. The fatal shot was fired from the grassy knoll, not from the school book depository. There was more than one gunman, there was a conspiracy--there is a conspiracy--and this book is the product of the author's wishful thinking. October 17, 2008 | | The Truth is out there but not in Bugliosi's book  For a proper assessment of Bugliosi's disinformationist book read Jim Di Eugenio's review on CTKA Probe Website ! September 30, 2008 | | More of the same old LIES  This is simply more of the same LIES the gov has been feeding the American public since the day JFK was killed.This guy is a moron and doesnt know anything.He even profited from the Charles Manson case. Go research "Operation Mockingbird" and see for yourself.Anyone with a brain can see JFK being shot from the FRONT in the zapruder film. His head goes BACK away from the grassy knoll.
