Peter Dale Scott's THE DALLAS CONSPIRACY - Anthony Thorne - 12-12-2014
Peter Dale Scott's hard-to-get early 70's manuscript on the assassination is listed in the footnotes of various research volumes, but is very hard to locate. I thought I had a decent lead on a copy some months back but it sadly fell through. After speaking to Peter directly about it, he suggested he was happy to have a copy scanned for free online reading (probably via Scribd) and also offered to write some brief new comments by way of introduction for it, but he no longer has access to a copy himself and my lead can't find the copy he thought he had. We found that a couple of US universities apparently have copies within their own archives, so I can attempt to get a University friend here in Melbourne to attempt to access one through academic loan methods, but I was just wondering if anyone reading has an accessible copy or knows where one may be found? I'm not expecting to have a great deal of luck but just thought I would ask.
A funny comment from Walt Brown when I asked him about it last year. "I used to have a copy, but loaned it out, and it's the sort of book that, if you loan it out, you never get back". I promise to do better if anyone has access to a copy.

Some of Scott's early articles from Harold Weisberg's archives:

There are some rather critical comments about Scott in Weisberg's letters. I think Weisberg basically believed that the military was responsible for the assassination, and anyone spending too much time on Cuban exiles, CIA, mafia, Texas oilmen, Nixon or LBJ was on the wrong track.
