My new book, Hidden History: An Expose of Modern Crimes, Conspiracies, and Cover-Ups in American Politics, has just been released by Skyhorse Publishing.
http://www.amazon.co...n/dp/1629144843
I communicated with witnesses like the nephew of Seymour Weitzman and the son and granddaughter of the elusive Secret Service agent Henry Rybka, among others.
It features the first in-depth investigation into the death of John F. Kennedy, Jr, and covers everything from the Kennedy assassinations to 9/11, the Oklahoma City Bombing, Franklin Credit and other child sex scandals and the fraudulent nature of the big charities.
I hope that many of you here will be interested in reading it.

Too bad Amazon doesn't allow a preview option for your book.

Congratulations Don! Must feel good to get all that hard work out there at last in a book. The reviews are very positive.

Go Don. Good job. It looks like a good read. I'm sure it's similar to your usual well thought out and written offerings here.

Drew,
There will be a "look inside" feature. Not sure why it's not there yet- you can look inside the kindle edition.

Hey Don. Looks good and interesting....you certainly cover a lot of territory. I see a direct line from Dallas to 9-11, and I assume you may have, as well. The 'joke' is on those who laugh at those they see as 'conspiracy theorists' - and who refuse to see the evidence [ample in the extreme!] of conspiracy facts. Good luck with the book. I'm sure you'll see some of the usual Mockingbird 'hit' reviews.

Yes, need to keep an eye on that and counter them.

Ok I found the preview part. I dunno if my browser security was set wrong to use the feature; I just recovered from a Crytowall2 virus attack.
You did a good job of covering the high points of how a defense attorney would attack the case against Oswald. (Of course the topic really cannot be thoroughly covered in 1 mere chapter, but you have other fish to fry.)
If I might offer an opinion, you might have been a bit more objective about JFK's character. In addition to his many sterling qualities, he was "born with a silver spoon in his mouth," an inveterate womanizer, and a proponent of covert action (Cuba and Vietnam are two examples on his watch) which invariably involve "collateral damage", used manipulative propaganda tactics to kick start a manned space program, and at least talked tough about communism. I realize that there is a great deal of dispute about how much JFK actually knew about the covert activity of the CIA, but as Truman said, "The buck stops here." (I also realize that your book was not intended to be an examination of JFK's character.)
I look forward to reading the rest of it.

Ah, Drew. You need to read more DiEugenio. I'm not sure you realize you're drawing from the same propaganda mud bucket of those right-wingers who killed Kennedy.

I try to draw regularly from right wing AND left wing AND CT propaganda mud buckets. That way, even if I'm wrong, at least I paint a balanced picture.
It never hurts to look for the grain of truth in anyone's propaganda.
