Summary: Here We Go Again...
Review: You would think that Dr. Fetzer would bring respected researchers to this new volume ... especially after being shown the errors of his ways in his previous mis-titled tome, "Assassination Science."Instead, to "prove" photo alteration, he offers a lunatic who publicly rants that all films shot in and around Dealey Plaza that fateful day were mysteriously seized and sinisterly altered. Further, this "renowned researcher" now tells us that Abraham Zapruder couldn't have possibly shot his film because he believes that Marilyn Sitzman was blocking his view of the Presidential limousine. Fetzer describes this researcher's studies as "useful in exposing image alteration by government custodians in their effort to distort the evidence and subvert our ability to discover the truth." Well, Dr. Fetzer didn't do his homework when he included Jack White's "research" in this new book. Repeatedly Fetzer has been shown the errors of White's rants. Why would a responsible editor support and promote such work? If anyone is to believe this researcher chosen by Fetzer to explain the photographic evidence, the many photographic exposures taken by Bond, Nix, Muchmore, Bronson, Towner, Hughes, Bell, Martin, Grant, Bothun, Burroughs, and Murray (and probably others I have missed) have ALL BEEN SINISTERLY TAMPERED WITH - *all* altered to prove wild theories of flying people, liquid signs, disappearing people, et al ad nauseum. As in his previous compilation, I wish Dr. Fetzer - as "editor" - would better research the researchers he promotes. Clint Bradford, http://www.jfk-info.com

Summary: I am amazed at this book!
Review: I cannot believe just how incredibly good this book truly is. "Murder in Dealey Plaza" has convinced me that al those years of reading and believing paid off-there was indeed a massive conspiracy and cover-up, no doubt by the Secret Service and the government. The medical evidence was always a jigsw puzzle to me until now-no longer. Horn, Palamara, Aguilar, Mantik, White, Wood, and Fetzer all deserve congressional medals of honor for this book. I'm truly a believer!

Summary: THE best book on the JFK assassination!
Review: "Murder in Dealey Plaza" is, quite simply, THE best book on the JFK assassination ever published! By exploring in depth the hard, scientific evidence of conspiracy and cover-up, Fetzer and his able contributors deliver a death blow to the Warren Report and official history. Must reading for all!

Summary: Fine book about the death of Kennedy
Review: This book came my way by accident, as I thought it was a book about JFK Jr. Imagine my suprise when I end up keeping it and really end up liking it! Two very enthusiastic thumbs up from me.

Summary: Fetzer hits a home run
Review: I have to admit that I really wanted to dislike this book because I don't share his views about the Zapruder film. But facts are facts-this is a truly great book and it's the best one I ever read on this complicated subject. I thought his first book was kinda a hodge-podge of info. that was kinda jumbled around-not this one! Much, much, much better! Phenomenal chapters on the limousine (Weldon), Secret Service (Palamera), medical area (Aguillar, Mantik, Horne), and a whole lot more. I urge anyone and everyone to read 'Murder in Dealey Plaza'. I can't wait to read it again-it's that good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: EASILY ONE OF THE TOP 5 BEST JFK CASE BOOKS OF ALL TIME!
Review: I am very, very impressed with this book---easily in my top 5 of all time on this important case (along with "Bloody Treason", "Cover Up" by Galanor, "Treachery In Dallas", & "The Warren Omission"); perhaps THE best single volume to deal with the JFK assassination (ALL the hard evidence of conspiracy from the newly-released ARRB government documents & testimony, especially as it relates to the medical evidence)! Fetzer's first volume ("Assassination Science") was good but this is light years ahead of that tome. For starters, this volume appeals to the novice and the jaded expert, complete with a fantastic chronology of November 22, 1963 that succeeds in bringing everyone up to speed while providing fascinating new and/ or overlooked details of the crime. There are three MAJOR medical evidence sections of this book [by Drs. Aguilar & Mantik, as well as Horne from the ARRB]that contain the HARD evidence of conspiracy and coverup (comprehensive and amazing in every detail), as well as a very thoughtful analysis of the state of the case in the (blinded)eyes of history (and historians). Finally, there are powerful chapters dealing with the limousine and the role of the Secret Service that will truly enlighten and inform (and they make appropriate companions to the medical evidence chapters), along with a couple other surprises. Highly recommended reading: buy it asap!

Summary: Compelling reading in light of recent events
Review: Yes this book has its flaws and perhaps many that escape me for my lack of expertise in any of the areas of forensic inquiry. One quirk that can be an annoyance to the reader can actually be interpreted as a strength of the compendium: redundant conclusions by contributors pursuing independent investigation. The results of judicious examination reinforce the same conclusions. Jack White's essay about the Zapruder film and other photography of the crime scene seemed very disjointed and hard to follow. In light of events of the last two years, this study warrants reading or re-reading. Some reviews profess a lack of credibility by the reader because of the sheer scale of participation in any alleged coverup if not the crime itself. To those "doubting Thomases", I would suggest they contemplate the widespread conspiracy that deceived a nation and its Congress into backing a military assault into Iraq on completely false premises. That conspiracy entailed offices of the White House, CIA and Departments of Defense, State, and Energy. Its tenets were largely un-scrutinized by major players in American news media. "The lid" stayed cemented in place until an ex-diplomat wrote a guest column in the New York Times about his knowledge of a forged document that was used as rationale for invasion in a President's State of the Union message. The article appeared several weeks after the conclusion of the march into Baghdad. Conspirators went to great lengths to enforce a coverup. A CIA agent was "outted" probably to notify members of the intelligence community that dire consequences would result from any disclosure. In the post 9/11 era, Dr. Mantik's appeal to historians and journalists takes on special provenance and poignancy. It would seem the civic process is deficient when those most skilled in gleaning traditions in abuse of power fail in their charge and calling to inform the rest of us. How many more "Iraqs" will it take before historians assign themselves the responsibility of evaluating the power and influence of America's vested interests and relate to its citizens professional opinions on the outcome to our self-governing processes? I look forward to reading "the Great Zaprudr Film Hoax".

Summary: Assassination "Science"---Oswald is not the only lone nut
Review: If it is true that you can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep, it is also true that you can tell a lot about a person's scholarship by what they believe. If those who believed that Oswald acted alone hitched their wagons to this sort of pseudoscience they would be laughed at every time they turned around. But in the world of conspiracy theories, NO theory is too outlandish and no claim is beyond sane consideration. This book is nearly unreadable. Some of the contributors (who are touted as scientists) have received NO formal training at all. This book is written for individuals who never met a conspiracy theory they didn't like. Serious scholars who demand more than ridiculous claims and glassy-eyed plots will be left dissatisfied after reading this collection of poorly-written diatribes.
