It is my profound hope that Stone- or someone- makes this book into a film.
The one thing I would have added regarding the "why it matters" would have been to tie it in more to today, connect the dots from Jerry Ford, Warren Commissioner. (and evidence tampering criminal), to President, appointing Bush head of CIA, leading to Reagan Justice Dept. ignoring HSCA's proposal that they investigate CIA (etc.) role in the coup,
down to W and where we are now: Preemptive wars, very, very far from the peace that JFK had forged. Douglas masterfully proves once and for all that had JFK lived there would have been no war in VietNam, that the Cold War was over. No wonder bookstores are not selling this book. Thank God for Amazon and of course Andy, from whom I will purchase more copies of this book when we are in Dallas for the conference. When I learned that Jim Douglas would be keynoting that sealed the deal for me to make it this year.
I hope Obama makes time to read this book. It may change his life. And if he were to act accordingly, it could also end it.
