Anthony Thorne Wrote:Not sure if this is useful for either your students or yourself (although hopefully it will be) but Daniel Sheehan taught a semester-long class on the JFK assassination a year or two ago at the University of California at Santa Cruz (titled 'Alternate Theories of the JFK Assassination'), and he has uploaded the majority of classes in video form, plus his syllabus, class notes, a chronology and other documentation that he gave to the students.
For keen researchers in the class I'd be giving a link to the run of Black Op Radio '50 Reasons for 50 Years' videos. They're bite-sized videos on individual topics with a host of researchers providing evidence and discussion.
I'd also suggest those in the class who were interested should check out at least one or two of Walt Brown's ebooks on their laptop, phone or iPad - specifically DEATH (covering the weekend of the assassination), and DISAPPOINTMENT (covering the Warren Commission). Each is as long as Bugliosi's uncut book, and has a wealth of material to digest and discuss.
The University Press of Kansas volume OLIVER STONE'S USA has Stone's lengthiest and most recent critically rebuttal to the debunkers of his movie. It's worth a read even for those who dislike elements of the film.
Eric Wilson's THE SPECTACLE OF THE FALSE FLAG is an academic work that has been released online for free by the publisher. It has a long section on the JFK assassination.
"All that is necessary for tyranny to succeed is for good men to do nothing." (unknown)
James Tracy: "There is sometimes an undue amount of paranoia among some conspiracy researchers that can contribute to flawed observations and analysis."
Gary Cornwell (Dept. Chief Counsel HSCA): "A fact merely marks the point at which we have agreed to let investigation cease."
Alan Ford: "Just because you believe it, that doesn't make it so."
Don, do you have syllabus or a handout of suggested reading and websites? If so, would you mind posting it?
PS I am getting towards the end of your book. You don't get bogged down in minutia. Concise and to the point. You don't spare anyone, left or right. You give 'em all hell.

I tried uploading a link to my tentative class syllabus, but it kept saying "invalid file." Lauren, or anyone else who's interested, email me at donjeffries@mris.com and I can send it to you. It's really a pretty rough outline, and if I stay true to form, I will go wandering off quite a bit.
The books I will be recommending the most are:
Accessories After the Fact
Crossfire
JFK and the Unspeakable
Survivor's Guilt
Reclaiming Parkland
Inside the AARB series

My cop[y of your book, as well ad David Talbot's will arrive this week. Looking forward to reading both.
Don's book is already in my bookcase and David's book is under the Christmas tree.
