The Hidden History of the JFK Assassination by Lamar Waldron

The Hidden History of the JFK Assassination by Lamar Waldron

November 22, 2013 marks the 50th anniversary of the tragedy that has haunted America ever since. For the first time, this concise and compelling book pierces the veil of secrecy to fully document the small, tightly-held conspiracy that killed President John F. Kennedy. It explains why he was murdered, and how it was done in a way that forced many records to remain secret for almost fifty years.

The Hidden History of JFK's Assassination draws on exclusive interviews with more than two dozen associates of John and Robert Kennedy, in addition to former FBI, Secret Service, military intelligence, and Congressional personnel, who provided critical first-hand information. The book also uses government files--including the detailed FBI confession of notorious Mafia godfather Carlos Marcello--to simply and clearly reveal exactly who killed JFK. Using information never published before, the book uses Marcello's own words to his closest associates to describe the plot. His confession is also backed up by a wealth of independent documentation.

This book builds on the work of the last Congressional committee to investigate JFK's murder, which concluded that JFK 'was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy, and that godfathers Santo] Trafficante and Carlos] Marcello had the motive, means, and opportunity to assassinate President Kennedy. However, it also draws on exclusive files and information not available to Congress, that have only emerged in recent years, to fully explain for the first time how Marcello and Trafficante committed--and got away with--the crime of the 20th century.

Some of the book's revelations will be dramatized in the upcoming Warner Brothers film Legacy of Secrecy, produced by and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, which also stars Robert De Niro as Carlos Marcello.

The Hidden History of JFK's Assassination is the definitive account of the crime and the secrecy which has surrounded it.

Publishers Weekly, Vanity Fair, the Boston Globe, the San Francisco Chronicle, and major European magazines have praised Lamar Waldron's historical research and nonfiction books. Variety has dubbed him the ultimate JFK historian, and his pioneering study has been the topic of two Discovery Channel prime time specials aired by NBC News. CNN, the History Channel, Geraldo Rivera, Fox News, and television shows in England, Germany, Japan, and Australia have all featured him.
