Anthony Summers

[Marc Ellis]

Summers is almost comical in the way he is always qualifying himself in each direction.

I mean after 50 years, is it not time to say, hey this is this and that is that. Not for Tony, he still wants to leave some leeway for the WC being correct.

I would have thought that, for instance, Barry Ernest's book settled that.

I found his Mexico City chapter puzzling, to say the least. But I'm onto the Jack Ruby section now.
A few interesting things there. Some names I have not run into, James Beard, Robert Mckeown & gun shipments to Castro from the US during the revolution.

Like I say, I'm just starting in this. - a curious reader. Destiny Betrayed is better suited as a reference source. Summers' book is more journalistic. But I'm learning as I go along.

I think Summers goes off the rails in Mexico City. And I disagree with his dismissive take on Garrison too. But I admire his reporting in some other sections of the book. There is a lot here, for me at least to learn.
