I just starting getting into Dallas '63 expecting it to be a summary of his other works on Dallas...but it is that and much much more. It is the synthesis of all of his work...and brilliant tour de force connecting dots that need to be connected and naming names and motives that also much need to be looked at further. He makes the general argument I have long agreed with that it was not primarily a 'CIA operation', but also a Military Intelligence and Military leadership led coup d'etat. A small group of ultra-hawks and neo-fascists who used their existing friendships/interrelationships to carry out a coup [and one that is not over yet and won't be until the American People wrestle back their country from the plotters and their heirs]. It is a must read if you really are interested in who and why re: Dallas! We owe so much to Peter Dale Scott for his tireless and brilliant work over the years...and he is not letting us down, even now at 86. It is only available in e-book format, but with the dense number of relevant references that makes jumping from text to reference very easy. It is the kind of book if one were to highlight the 'important parts' one could just as easily highlight the entire book, cover to cover. I think I'll have to read this one at least twice. I have seen familiar names and also new names - but ones that fit into the plot brilliantly.
