Nothing has generated as many conspiracy theories and rumours of cover-up than the assassination of US President John Fitzgeral Kennedy, JFK, in November 1963. As Kennedy's motorcade made its way past the Texas School Book Depository in Dallas, Texas, shots rang out and the President was struck in the head. Despite being rushed straight to hospital, JFK was pronounced dead just a few hours later.
Kennedy's alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested just hours later, only to be shot dead himself two days later by Jack Ruby. In large part as a result of this successful effort to silence Oswald, conspiracy theories have swirled around the events surrounding JFK's assassination ever since. The official investigation into the shooting, the Warren Commission, concluded that Oswald was a lone assassin, but that did little to silence the speculation; in 2004, a poll found that 66% of Americans think that there was a conspiracy to kill the President. This book examines the accepted facts of the case, as well as some of the conspiracy theories that have been put forward to explain events.
The Conspiracy Files series lifts the lid on some of the world's most notorious mysteries, unexplained events and possible conspiracies. The narrative examines the accepted version of events, considers their veracity, and investigates the potential for conspiracy and cover-up.
There are a total of eight books in the Conspiracy Files series, with multi-book bundles comprising four books offering the best value for money.
