LEGACY OF SECRECY: THE LONG SHADOW OF THE JFK ASSASSINATION

Book ID/图书代码： 12312509B33460

English Summary/英文概要： UPDATED WITH DRAMATIC NEW REVELATIONS! The trade paperback has three new chapters, an expanded photo-document section, and updated text throughout, including the completed story of how three powerful Mafia bosses used John and Robert Kennedy’s top-secret plan of staging a coup against Fidel Castro to murder JFK. Documented from the National Archives for the first time is Watergate burglar Bernard Barker’s decades-long work for the Mafia, even Barker’s time aiding the CIA with the coup plan. Barker sold out the coup plan to his mob bosses helping to assassinate JFK, and forcing US officials previously involved with Barker to withhold key information from the Warren Commission. This cloud of secrecy surrounding JFK’s assassination allowed two men who confessed to playing roles in JFK’s murder to be free and aid in the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King in 1968. The trade paperback also contains important new information about the FBI informant who obtained the JFK assassination confession of godfather Carlos Marcello, which the Bureau kept secret for twenty years.

Reviews
PW review:
Legacy of Secrecy: The Long Shadow of the JFK Assassination
Lamar Waldron with Thom Hartmann.
In the three years since their acclaimed expose Ultimate Sacrifice: John and Robert Kennedy, the Plan for a Coup in Cuba, and the Murder of JFK, historian Waldron and author/radio host Hartmann have accumulated new evidence with the help of “more than two dozen associates of John and Robert Kennedy” and access to “thousands of recently released documents at the National Archives,” strengthening and extend their case that the Kennedy assassination was a contract killing organized by top mob leaders working with the CIA and Cuban exile groups in response to Kennedy’s crackdown on the mob and his secret 1963 plan to support a military-led coup in Cuba that promised to assassinate Castro. Waldron and Hartmann offer convincing evidence to substantiate that the killings of Martin Luther King Jr. and Bobby Kennedy five years later were also mob organized; in each case, the mafia was protected by their knowledge of Kennedy’s Cuba plan and the subsequent cover up. A riveting take on the assassination itself and the devastating results of government secrets, this account proves the continuing relevancy and importance of seeking the truth behind one of the U.S.’s most personal tragedies.

“Explosive new material, based mainly on government documents from the National Archives.”---Vanity Fair

“Waldron and Hartmann offer convincing evidence . . . A riveting take on the assassination itself and the devastating results of government secrets, this account proves the continuing relevancy and importance of seeking the truth behind one of the US’s most personal tragedies.”--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“I believe Waldron’s heavy-to-lift book is actually all but the last word on these troubling assassinations which have been so wildly speculated about since 1963 . . . Lamar Waldron, indefatigable public servant and author deserves his own Pulitzer Prize for his great work.”---Liz Smith, New York Post

“They’ve done a service by digging up the deepest, darkest, most disturbing archival evidence to support their Mob hit theory.”---Ron Rosenbaum

“Staggering!”---Mark Crispin Miller

“Exhaustively researched”---New York Observer

“[Legacy of Secrecy contains] over 800 pages of intricately documented data. Their findings add pieces to one of our most perplexing puzzles, and suggest where the key missing pieces may be found.”---Ronald Goldfarb, Daily Beast
