My new book, "Into the Nightmare"

[Joseph McBride]

Darrell,

My book INTO THE NIGHTMARE: MY SEARCH FOR THE KILLERS OF
PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY AND OFFICER J. D. TIPPIT is available
exclusively through Amazon.com. It is sent to purchasers by the fulfillment house
Vervanté. There is not only one copy available -- anyone can
buy it. As for the price of the print edition ($38.50), it's a long book that

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of new info -- A MUST READ!, October 5, 2013

[B]This review is from: Into the Nightmare: My Search for the Killers of President John F. Kennedy and Officer J. D. Tippit (Paperback)[/B]
This is a well researched, well written and very informative addition to JFK assassination literature.
I met Joe McBride in the early 1990's. He was a no-nonsense guy and I liked him immediately. His new "just the facts" book certainly fits his persona and I recommend it highly.
"Into the Nightmare" is chock full of new, and old, information presented in a well organized format that continues to expose the government's non-conspiracy, lone gunman theory for what it is -- a despicable lie.
In the end, you may not learn exactly who killed President John F. Kennedy and Dallas Policeman J. D. Tippit, but you'll certainly discover who didn't.
A MUST READ!

Joseph's book is still on my early Christmas list, but having read through the thread posts prior, the following anecdote did pop out today while reading through Walt Brown's newly released autobiography as a JFK assassination researcher. (It's Appendix #IV of his Master Chronology, and is an alternately diverting, amusing and melancholic read). Brown is visiting the house of Jay Harrison -

The rest of the trip to Jay's house was anti-climatic.

We settled in and Jay cooked up some pasta, while I was told to wander around, make myself at home, and see what there was to be seen. What Jay had on his walls, and that space was clearly finite, was a museum director's dream, as there were JFK newspapers from exotic places, along with a number of certificates that Jay had won during his tenure with the Dallas Police Reserves. He saw me poring over on of them and told me he'd been voted "something or other" of the year, and I told him "So had Roger Craig."

He wasn't too well versed on Roger Craig, but as he always said, he didn't read the bookshe dug.

After the meal, we probably spent ten hours going through Jay's work. His files were incredible, and each time he demonstrated a salient point, it meant he had to go back into one of his filing areas for more papers that cross-referenced or corroborated what I was looking at. Jay had a cat, to which I was extremely allergic, so the door was left open and the cat was cut loose in the neighborhood. At one point, the cat's presence began to bring on a serious sneeze, and I thought to myself that surrounded as I was by paper, if I sneezed, five reams of paper would blow out the door.

"Immense" was an understatement. Jay asked his traditional questions, and when I gave him the book answermost likely in response to something about newspaper coveragehe went and got the oft-referenced newspaper, of which he had the evening edition, the regular edition, and the late edition, and pointed out that the reference that everyone talked about simply did not exist.

I knew I had to rethink a lot of what I'd been told but had never seen before committing things to paper in the future.

Sunday started out more of the same, as "before I went to sleep last night, I thought of…" and Jay produced more volumes. He even had a copy of an older CIA "asset list," which named individuals who had knowingly and specifically aided the CIA in something they were up to.

I took due note of the name "Mary Ferrell," and then ran through it as fast as I couldit was over 600 pages of names, and came upon quite a few that surprised me, as they came from the ranks of the JFK research community. None were "active" at that point in 1998, or I'd have blown a whistle that could have been heard from Austin to Hillsdale.

Wow. Thanks for posting this. Brings back a million memories. I am glad to see J coming to life in this work. He was mostly an "unknown" when alive. By choice. "Deep cover" was his self-described term and one was on orders never to say his name to anyone, a promise I kept from 11/21/97 til his passing 5/25/05.

Yes J had so much on Mary. During the last few months of his life it was this file that was on his computer screen nearly every time I visited. One of his many goals was to assist in outing her for what she truly was.
Even when riddled with cancer to the point of utter exhaustion J never slowed down. 11/8 would have been his birthday. I miss so many things about him. Not least of which was his humor. He would always call me on my birthday with the words "I want to be the first to wish you a happy birthday". But he meant for the fallowing year.
Even after all these years I still find it hard to believe he is gone. But NEVER forgotten.

ps I believe the reference in Walt's story is to the alleged newspaper account of the alleged Murchinson party. J had those news accounts and the account of this party was not there. In any edition.

FYI- Last night I had the good fortune to come across Len Osanic's 50 Reasons For 50 Years episode with Joseph McBride. One of the best in the series Joseph, very well done, just like your book.

[Joseph McBride]

Thanks, Tom. Great series Len has put together. Jeff Carter
does excellent work as videographer. I am happy to have
been asked to do the episodes on the media and on Tippit.
The mainstream media's failure to cover the assassination honestly
has always been one of my main areas of interest. It is one
of our biggest problems as a society. Most mainstream historians
have fallen down on the job as well. I admire Robert Caro's first
three volumes on Johnson, but he blew it on the fourth volume
and printed flagrant falsehoods (e.g., the story about Rufus Youngblood
jumping over the seat to cover LBJ with his body on the
way to Parkland, which Senator Ralph Yarborough, who was riding
in the back seat with LBJ and Lady Bird, described to me as "a cock-and-bull tale"). Caro's poor performance shows how much of a taboo there
is to upheld on the subject of the assassination in the MSM if you want the prestige
and the big bucks. I sent Caro my book but haven't heard back from him.
