The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
I am a little obsessed with the subject of Kennedy's assassination. This is one of many, many books that came out within the past year or two at the 50th anniversary of Kennedy's death. It is a compelling read, and there is certainly plenty of tidbits to keep you reading. The revelation about LBJ calling the trauma room at Bethesda mid autopsy is just plain creepy. I had not heard that before.The biggest problem with this book is it is mostly not original material. A lot of it is compiled referencing other sources, which is interesting, but not exactly blazing any new territory. It does reinforce some evidence, and certainly contains enough weight to be read and considered. I did become annoyed at the multiple grammatical and typing errors. I was surprised that there was a co-author given the horrible way it was written in places, and I can't imagine anyone proof read it. How does this get published?But at the end of the day, I could not stop reading it. Yet another conspiracy book regarding Kennedy assassination. Only this time, it is VP Lyndon B. Johnson spearheading all the different conspiring parties into one big assassination plot. According to author, who worked for JFK Adm, Johnson pulled everybody together to murder Kennedy (i.e., it was "only" the 7th or 8th person Johnson had killed during his acreer, including his own sisiter!). as much as the conpsiracy reader wishes to believe all this; it is laughable how Stone is the "only" person to catch onto the LBJ link to JFK killing, while 3-4 other major LBJ biographers did not include most of this informastion in their writings!
What do You think about The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ (2013)?
By far the most ridiculous book I have ever read. It might have made sense as a novel.

Fascinating, but not as easy read. He supports his thesis with countless references.

Interesting read but its hard to believe this is all true. I do think LBJ was a part.
—Bri
Riddled with typos and not terribly convincing.
