Best JFK books of the last 2 years?

[Anthony Thorne]

Other than the search for the perpetrators and the search for new and probative evidence, how can one justify buying and reading any new JFK books?

I still buy new books on Orson Welles if they're well-written and illuminating, and I don't always expect those volumes to put new facts on the table. I just find it worthwhile to hear new perspectives on the man and his work. With JFK, some volumes retain the same evidence but put things in a clearer, more digestible manner or bring home some viewpoints that were obvious in retrospect but had been overlooked. I think James DiEugenio mentioned onetime that A FAREWELL TO JUSTICE summarised the Nagel evidence in a more comprehensive manner than Dick Russell's original book. Likewise, Alex Cox's volume on the JFK case benefited from a UK writer's perspective. That's just off the top of my head. I'm sure there are dozens of other reasons one would read a good new book on the JFK case. Your question is a provocative one, but - no offence intended - also slightly insulting I think, both to new writers on the case, and ongoing readers.

Buying a Kindle and reading new volumes in ebook form is a good method of keeping costs down when checking out new volumes on the case.
