Summary: LHO was a legend before he was a Warren Commission myth
Review: DURHAM has achieved quite a feat. THE INNOCENT MAN SCRIPT artfully communicates a story of "how it might have happened" in a creative, but not too farfetched, reportage of the facts. Yes, the book is filled with many facts. Although it is a work of fiction--by the author's own admission--it does not take advantage of the wide birth granted such treatments of an historically significant subject. Under the guise of "artistic license" many writers have chosen to inappropriately weave a tale so riddled with innuendo as to diminish the overall theme's significance, rendering it little more than a fairy tale. While others have chosen a different approach, such as, peddling worn out, "old wives tales" to the reader, that too renders the work little more than a fairy tale, albeit very boring. This is the case with Arlen Specter's latest book which is so incredible that one can easily argue it has been miscategorized as "non-fiction..."However, DURHAM's is a must read for those who find the history of the JFK assassination too dry, yet would like to know more. It captures the reader's interest by hooking them with "the story" of Angus Cutter. Through this creative and entertaining mechanism DURHAM presents a scenario which permits the suspension of disbelief for those who might otherwise be prejudiced against "even the idea" of any and all conspiracy theories. By removing this unfortunate stigmatism, in favor of allowing the story to unfold, the book becomes a catalyst. If it does nothing more than inspire youthful readers to seek out reliable educational resources on the subject, it will have accomplished more than any books which defend the 26 volumes of boring fairy tales written by the Warren Commission almost 4 decades ago.

Summary: A Fascinating Book!
Review: Each page peaked my curiosity and made it hard to lay down. Each chapter I got into made me anxious to get to the next - I can't remember reading a book that from the beginning was so entertaining. Has T. Mack Durham written other books???

Summary: The BEST on the JFK Assasination Conspiracy
Review: For the many of us who remember the day JFK (and precisely where we were at the time) was assasinated, you must read this book. The author, T. Mack Durham, has done an excellent job of researching and writing about the conspiracy behind the JFK assasination. For the past 27 years I have read about various theories, new findings, etc. This book pulls it all together in such a thorough manner that I now understand why I have felt that I never got the whole truth on this national tragedy.

Summary: A Riveting Thriller
Review: I bought this book, based on its good reviews at Amazon.com and the JFK Research Forum. The day I received it I started to read a few chapters. 100 pages later, I was still reading.
This story is a neatly woven story of a man, drawn into the Crime Of The Century. It will have you anxiously turning the pages,for the next surprise. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.
