Armstrong's book is very engrossing.
I read the whole thing from cover to cover in a period of three weeks at a favorite restaurant of mine in Long Beach. I was there at about noon and stayed until about four each day. I strongly suggest that if you have not read it, to get it from Last Hurrah. ANd then read it straight through like I did.
The remarkable thing about the book is how little John relied upon the books published previously. So much of his work is original.
The other interesting aspect of the book is that you don't have to buy into his central thesis to appreciate what he has done. In fact, for me, the two best parts of the book were: 1.) His discussion of the MC rifle and how Oswald could not have bought it or had it at the time of the murder, and 2.) His work on Mexico City, which when read in conjunction with the Lopez Report, and John Newman's work, seems to me to be about as good as it gets on this subject.
