While I have not yet read the book, I have watched the author (Posner) explain his case on several panel shows. As I said, I retain just a small sliver of doubt. But I am by no means a JFK conspiracy nut- I haven't read the other books (apparently hundreds of them) advocating for one whacked-out theory or another, either. I don't spend a lot of time worrying about it- except when I am confronted by this all-out media blitz telling me to "just forget about it, nothing to see here, move along, son". That editorial had the feel of a pat on the head by an older and wiser uncle- "We know best, now go and play".

Pretty irritating stuff.

And, in the grand scheme of things (no pun intended), what does it matter whether I believe the "official" version or I doubt it? Nobody cares (except perhaps my wife, when I yell at some smug talking head on TV...)

I suggest you read the book "Case Closed."

Have you read Case Open by Harold Weisberg? He refuted that work by Posner.

"Book Description

No one knows more about the assassination of President Kennedy than Harold Weisberg, so said the FBI in open court. Harold Weisberg - a former OSS and Senate Investigator-wrote and published Whitewash in 1965, the first book criticizing the conclusion of the Warren Commission. Since then, he has written and published seven books on President Kennedy's assassination. Case Open is a book Mr. Weisberg felt compelled to write. He felt a need and determination to set the record straight. In proving that Gerald Posner, in Case Closed, has proven nothing, Mr. Weisberg has proven that President Kennedy was killed by a conspiracy."
