  1. 1. Jfk And The Unspeakable

    Why He Died and Why It Matters

    A detailed investigative account arguing that the assassination of a U.S. president was the outcome of a conspiracy by entrenched elements of the national-security establishment and allied actors who opposed his moves toward détente, limits on covert action, reconciliation with Cuba, and withdrawal from Vietnam. Drawing on documents, witness testimony, and timeline analysis, the book traces connections among intelligence agencies, military leaders, exile groups, and organized crime, and frames the killing as both a political plot and a moral/spiritual crisis that reveals the hidden, “unspeakable” power of the permanent war state.
