Killing Kennedy

resource.description
Read the Chilling Truth Behind the Assassination That Shocked the WorldAt 12.30hrs on Friday 22 November 1963, US President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. He was the 35th President of the United States, the first Roman Catholic President, and the fourth President to be assassinated in less than one hundred years. The news of his death shocked the world, and everybody seems to remember with great clarity where they were and what they were doing the moment the tragic news was broadcast.Craig Cabell's book reveals the sniper gauntlet that lay in wait for President Kennedy in Dallas that fateful day. His ballistic analysis of the famous Zapruder film, along with other photographs, film clips, eye-witness and medical accounts, proves that the assassination shot came from in front of the motorcade and not behind it, proving that a conspiracy really happened and that Lee Harvey Oswald was not guilty of assassination. He then explains how the killer escaped and looks at three other sniper dens that all fit the same scenario perfectly, sharing the same escape route for the other members of the sniper gauntlet, thus constructing a concrete explanation as to why the true gunmen were never found.Oswald described himself as the patsy in the assassination of President Kennedy and this book vindicates that claim, proving him innocent of assassination, but still embroiled in the conspiracy at the Texas School Book Depository.Avoiding conjecture, Cabell crafts a factual book about one of the most famous days in history, at last placing Oswald in his rightful context and exposing the dark, salubrious, world of professional snipers. As a former Small Arms desk officer for the Ministry of Defence and author of 17 previous history books and biographies, Craig Cabell provides the final word to mark the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy.
