Nathaniel Heidenheimer Wrote:IS THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH an underrated book? Should more to be done to promote it?
Hello,one of my very first JFK books ON THE ASSASSINATION that I read was The 2003 edition of The Man Who Knew Too Much.*
The first three pages kind of draw the reader in. eh?*
This book certainly made me curious about a lot of stuff. Do people think it should be more widely known? To me it seems unjust that its sales are so low.
Along similar lines, you know what other marketing reality similarly irks me? THE FACT THAT THERE IS STILL NOW KINDLE EDITION OF Breach of Trust!! Now that book is so important for the 50th because it isolates on the WC alone, and its case rock solid, to some extent, because of this more limited focus. In many ways it is a perfect first book and it is by a historian, which is a good marketing point in a field strewn with so much disinformation.
We should take all actions to demand a kindle edition on Amazon and really let way more people know about this all over the political spectrum.
TMWKTM is one of the very best JFK books, by a great researcher/writer and within it lays out a picture of the amazing complexity of the plot/players, the many who had foreknowledge, that the Soviets were aware of [but apparently trying to STOP] the plot....and more. Yes, the book should be promoted wherever possible, but it is not 'light' reading and is somewhat confusing to those not steeped in JFK research lore...but totally readable by a newbee, despite this. Russel's follow-up chapter on the suspicious death and disappearance of Nagel's 'safety stash' in his later book of articles is also important - as a finale to the story. I'm for promoting the book in any way possible. What % of people are now reading ebooks v. paper books? There is also your method of positive reviews on amazon et al.
