Wow. It is going to take days for me to read these negative reviews about Bugliosi's book
Edited on Sun Sep-05-10 05:59 PM by DrSteveB
Here are some reviews about Vince Bugliosi's Oswald-did-it book "Reclaiming History." An amazing number of holes have been poked in the book by JFK assassination researchers. I've been trying to read them all but the volume is simply astounding, compared to the positive reviews, which can be read in one day perhaps because the authors are not knowledgeable on the matter; and because they're all short articles in Mainstream Media newspapers. The MSM is unanimous in its praise for the book.

The New York Times' journalist who reviewed the book praised it highly as being a "public service" to society for ridiculing CT, who "deserved" to be ridiculed, in the words of the NYT author. The Washington Post was equally pleased: The Washington Post's headline says it all: "Good Bye, Grassy Knoll". The LA Times' editorial page loves R.H. for taking on the "vacuous world of conspiracy theories." LAT goes on to say that "no sane person" can seriously believe in conspiracy.

And for those not so trustful of the historic link between the media and powerful people's official stories, I recommend the following reviews written by researchers:

-Vinnie, it is round

-Reclaiming History? Or Re-framing Oswald?
http://www.maryferrell.org/wiki/index.php/Essay_-_Review_of_Reclaiming_History

-Epic book resurrects finding that Oswald acted alone in killing JFK

-The Times' cheap shot (replying to the NYT review):

Reclaiming History is "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

2. You can post your recommended reviews, too

On a separate thread about official theorists' reviews, to compliment the list of official theorists' that I presented.
Perhaps I'm missing a Wall Street Journal of USA Today positive review that you may find. I would appreciate it.

3. I don't care whether you read the book or...
even a review, dude.

Simple question: why, after nearly 50 years, has the JFK assassination CT "community" been unable to converge upon a person or group of people they can show committed the murder?

You guys can spend the next fifty years on your wild goose chase and no one will notice.

I'm done, dude
