A huge sign of the quality this forum has. Are people like Jan, (I hope he's okay). Magda, Dave, Jim Di, John Kelin (I hope he still posts), and now we have Joe McBride who apparently joined in June during my hiatus. When I returned here I was stoked to see he had joined up. He is that rare thing journalist and Professor of integrity and intelligence.

I recommend anyone order this book. It looks fascinating and the Tippit case has been so woefully under researched. Joe McBride sprung to prominence in JFK circles in the late 80's when he was fishing around George Bush Sr's time in the CIA. He was the guy who found out the FBI memo that had the CIA's George Bush fielding information about Cuban exiles. This is the famous memo John Hankey has taken out of all comprehension.

Yes, it is a good book and sums up the Tippit murder better than anything else I've read.
However, I don't agree with his speculations about Tippit being Badgeman (I'm also skeptical that Badgeman is anything more than light and shadows in that Rorschach inkblot test known as the Moorman Polaroid).

Yes, Joseph's book is meticulously researched and extremely well written, particularly in regards to the Tippit murder which is so often ignored. Being of an age to remember these events I also found McBride's book to have captured many of the feelings and emotions I felt as I watched the saga unfold on black and white tv as a young teenage boy. Like Joseph I was instantly believing Oswald when he said he was a "patsy" and I instictively did not trust the Dallas PD.

Wow I must get this book. Even though like Tracy I don't buy the Tippit badgeman angle. Good to know the rest stacks ups... Tracy review of it for CTKA if you have time possibly?

Cheers Tracy. This looks great shows how out of the loop I have been really. The Tippit stuff has always fascinated me.
