Reclaiming History By Vincent Bugliosi available on Google Books
I’m all for authors getting paid for their efforts, but because the dubious 1991 movie JFK airs frequently for free on television, I recommend checking out for free on Google Books the chapter of Bugliosi’s Reclaiming History that refutes the movie.
Clay Shaw, the only person prosecuted (unsuccessfully) in connection with Lee Harvey Oswald’s assassination of President John F. Kennedy, gave the most succinct and insightful explanation of JFK conspiracy theories:
People believe in a conspiracy because when death comes to the figure of a prince, as it did to Kennedy, struck down in his prime, it should come under a panoply of great tragedy with all the resulting high court intrigue - almost something out of Shakespeare - not from some poor little psychotic loser crouched with a mail-order rifle behind a stack of cardboard boxes in a warehouse.
