We believe it could not have been Lee Harvey Oswald who killed JFK. It was (1) an assassination team who tried to kill JFK, as well as... (2) It could have been Secret Service Agent George Hickey who could have accidentally shot President Kennedy in the head with his cocked-and-loaded Colt AR-15 using a unique six millimeter fragmenting bullet shot from the Secret Service chase car directly following the presidential limousine while swinging his rifle around to engage an active shooter thought to be in the Texas Book Depository. Possibly, while Hickey was swinging his rifle, he accidentally shot the man he was sworn to protect, JFK in the back of the head where the bullet exploded and blew the far side of JFK's head open, killing him dead.

Two men born with different backgrounds who were destined to collide in Dallas, Texas. One man came from a family of great wealth and power while the other man came from a family who struggled for everything they ever had. One stood for peace, while the other man stood for confusion and deceit. President John F. Kennedy had a dangerous goal in mind; in the Cold War in his lifetime. Lee Harvey Oswald was a pawn used by his employers, the Central Intelligence Agency, to stop President Kennedy from reaching his goal. This book tells how President Kennedy fought to spread his message of world peace and how the CIA stop him at every turn. The story leads the reader down the road through Oswald's time in the Marines to his CIA-aided defection to the Soviet Union to his date with destiny in Dallas, Texas. The story weaves through the intelligence web the CIA laid to guide Oswald to be the patsy in the coup d' tat on November 22, 1963. The story walks the reader through reach of President Kennedy's military confrontations as he resisted the pressure from his military advisers to rage an all-out war with the Soviet Union. It ends with the conclusion that President Kennedy was a danger to the U.S. military's plans in Indochina and the decision to remove him from office.
Thousands of books and articles have been written about the murder of JFK, many of which are large in volume and short on facts. Quite often, these works try to reinvent the wheel, attempting to cover every single area of the assassination, as well as many tangential and unessential points, as well. The reader is often left exhausted and confused. The sheer volume of pages, conflicting facts, and theories leaves one unsatisfied and, quite frankly, not sure exactly what did happen on 11/22/63. This book seeks to separate the wheat from the chaff. It is 55-plus years later: it is time for real, honest answers in an easy-to-read and understand format. Proof of a conspiracy; no theories; to-the-point; a perspective on the assassination for the millennial age and beyond. Based on years—decades—of primary source research and having read countless books on the subject.

*Includes two dozen pictures of Kennedy, Oswald, locations in Dealey Plaza, and other seminal moments before, during, and after the assassination. *Explains the lead-up to November 22, 1963 and why Kennedy took his fateful trip to Texas. *Discusses the different findings of the various investigations of the assassination and explains the conspiracy theories "We never had any hope of saving his life." - A doctor in the emergency room In the 19th century, the Scottish writer Thomas Carlyle famously wrote, "The history of the world is but the biography of great men", popularizing the "Great Man" theory that the course of history is shaped by a select few heroic individuals. While historians and others continue to debate the accuracy of the Great Man theory of history, there is no question that the course of history is permanently altered by decisive moments in time, where a different result would have produced drastically different outcomes. Charles River Editors' Decisive Moments in History examines the events that changed history forever and set the world down the path it finds itself on today. In the annals of American history, few moments have been so thoroughly seared into the nation's conscience that Americans can remember exactly where and when they heard about an earth-shattering event. In the 20th century, there was Pearl Harbor and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. November 22, 1963 started as a typical Friday, and many Americans were unaware that President Kennedy was even heading to Dallas, Texas. John and Jackie arrived in Dallas in the morning, with Texas Governor John Connally alongside them and Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson due to arrive later to meet them there. The Kennedys and the Connallys intended to participate in public events later in the day, and Jackie and John were welcomely surprised by the warm reception they received. A public parade was hosted for the President and First Lady that afternoon, and the First Couple rode with the Connallys in an open motorcade en route to a speech Kennedy would deliver later. As they waved to the people lining the streets, around 12:30 p.m. Central Standard Time, Governor Connally's wife turned around to the first couple and said, "Mr. President, you can't say Dallas doesn't love you." Moments later, the most controversial assassination in American history took place as a series of shots were fired at the motorcade. The indelible images provided by the Zapruder film of Kennedy being hit in the throat and head, followed by Jackie crawling over the backseat toward the trunk are now instantly recognizable. Within minutes, the news of the shooting began to spread from Dallas across the nation, and everyone's worst fears were confirmed when the President was declared dead about half an hour after the shooting. In the wake of the shooting, Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested, proclaimed his innocence, and was then murdered himself by Jack Ruby two days later. The day after that, the President was given a state funeral and procession. The unbelievable chain of events that took place in those 72 hours understandably left the nation shell-shocked. Despite countless official and unofficial investigations, the assassination is just as mysterious and confusing as ever, and conspiracy theories continue to run rampant nearly 50 years after the assassination. Was Lee Harvey Oswald a patsy? Was he a lone gunman? Was the assassination ordered by the mob? Decisive Moments in History: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy chronicles the entire chain of events leading up to the assassination and its immediate aftermath, examines the different conclusions reached by different investigations, and discusses the conspiracy theories and legacy of the assassination. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the Kennedy assassination like you never have before, in no time at all.
