The Must-Read List

[Peter Lemkin]

Can you please clarity where is the most current and complete version of the list. Is it always the first post [as I assume] or?..... Thanks.

I was going to ask Tracy the same question. I haven't been adding links lately but I want to be sure to add them to the right place.

Hi Marlene - You can only modify your own posts anyway. I didn't want to add all the Amazon links to my original list because it's already long and I don't know how many hyperlinks this forum can handle in one post. It's already pretty slow to edit and save.

I think Marlene was misinterpreted. She wasn't talking about editing YOUR posts, but her updated list on her computer. I don't believe now we have a definitive or clear answer. Are there some changes in later posts not in the first list posted? Can someone please put them all in one definitive list - thanks. The forum can take any number of links. Maybe it is best to edit it on your computer and then cut and past to the forum.

Tracy, Thanks much for all this work!

Peter & Tracy,
I stopped editing on my computer and went back (and it's been awhile since I posted) to using the latest in the thread. I will edit Tracy's original list from here on in.

• For those of you who asked for the details of my suggested reading list on JFK at the ArcLight screening the other night, here again are the suggestions.
  
  1. "JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters" by James W. Douglass (Touchstone, 2008).
  
  2. "Reclaiming Parkland" by James DiEugenio (Skyhorse Publishing,2013). In this book I'm talking specifically about where Jim does an incredibly efficient job of deconstructing the 2000 plus page Vincent Bugliosi defense of the WC in "Reclaiming History." Bugliosi comes across as a shrill prosecutor insulting anyone who believes in anything other than the Warren Commission as insane. Truly Bugliosi seems the one who's nuts to me.
  
  3. Also read James DiEugenio's "Destiny Betrayed," (Skyhorse updated 2012).
  
  4. "The Last Investigation: What Insiders Know about the Assassination of JFK" by Gaeton Fonzi (Skyhorse, 1993), which revealed the inner workings of of the HSAC in 1979, which effectively overruled the WC.
  
  5. "Breach of Trust: How the Warren Commission Failed the Nation And Why" by Gerald McKnight (University Press of Kansas, 2005) shows how U.S. security agencies hijacked the Warren Investigation.
  
  6. "Our Man in Mexico: Winston Scott and the Hidden History of the CIA" by Jefferson Morley (University Press of Kansas, 2008). Morley is a stalwart, runs JFKfacts.org
  
  7. "Oswald and the CIA" by John Newman (Skyhorse,1995). Wonderful early investigation, still a classic. Newman consulted with us during the making of the film.
  
  8. "Brothers: The Hidden History of the Kennedy Years" by David Talbot (Free Press, 2007). What Robert Kennedy was thinking about his brother's death. Based on over 150 interviews with Kennedy relatives and insiders.
  
  9. Coming out shortly is Robert Groden's "Absolute Proof."
  
  Additionally, there are other excellent works from Mark Lane, Cyril Wecht, Josiah "Tink" Thompson, Gary Aguilar, and Joan Mellen's "A Farewell to Justice" (Skyhorse, 2005). As well as many other great sources that I haven't listed, but for brevity's sake…

Peter, I said on post #49 that I'm only updating the first post on page 1. I'm also only adding links to online texts, not to Amazon.
