Conspiracy of One

Reads well and clear, intelligent, logical and fact confirming. One ofthe best books on the Kennedy Assassination, not chasing rumors and UN-verifiable statements or accounts. like the old TV and radio show dragnet "just the facts". If you agree with Conspiracy theorist you may not like this book, if You agree that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, than you should like it. I spent 35 years on the fence on this event, read over 3 dozen of the most "accepted " from both sides, and in the past 6 years I conclude for myself it was a: "Conspracy of One".

We've heard all the weird, wacky "researchers" out there, and their "books" made mainly for the almighty $, and to lasso millions of gullible, ignorant US citizen/ comsumers. Con-jobs extraordinaire!..Read this book..Very clear, concise, documented, and showing the cons out there the ludicrous flaws of their so-called "research"; aka- money making activities. There is just NO doubt that Oswald done-it, and this book expertly and flawlessly lays out the facts, the reasons, the opportunities, and ..buy and read this one, and for any one halfway clear in the head, you'll be convinced without a doubt!

Regardless of if one believes or disbelieves that JFK was killed by a conspiracy, anyone who has an interest in the assassination owes it to themselves to read this book. Jim Moore has turned in a solid piece of work that patiently, rationally explains his stance on the events that took place in Dallas on that November day in 1963 and beyond. Moore has the advantage of having been a pro-conspiracy theorist at one time, so he is very familiar with the conspiracy theories (as well as the lack of evidence behind many of them) and has had firsthand encounters with the key proponents of the pro-conspiracy cottage industries (Groden, Lifton, etc.). It's a splash of cold, hard yet simple logic that may give even the most ardent conspiracy theorist pause, and a bit more easy to digest than Vincent Bugliosi's recent, overlong book of the same subject.

I've been a bodyguard for over 20 years. I've stood at Oswald's window in the Texas School Book Depository. I've talked to Secret Service agents, who've protected presidents. I've never seen one compelling shred of evidence from any of the conspiracy nuts that Oswald DIDN'T do it! I applaud Moore for this thoroughly-researched book. It stands with Posner's as being among the few that got it right.

Since reading this book, the JFK murder has never again occured to me as the "evil conspiracy" that so many others would have us to believe. MR. Moore makes an outstanding presentation of the evidence. Why Mr. Moore's long years of research and conclusions have not recieved the national attention it deserves is a mystery unto itself. Oswald did it, alone, end of story.

But I suspect the vast majority of JFK assassination readers are more interested in, as Posner put it, chasing shadows on the grassy knoll. Moore's book helped deliver me from the semi-quandry of lies, half-truths and lunatic ravings that comprise most conspiracy books. In fact, I too, traveled to Dallas for the first assasination convention -- mainly to hear Moore defend his book. He did quite well, considering that he was treated with a rather large dose of disrespect and ridicule by the researchers there. (A bigger collection of kooks, the mentally ill, and paranoids you'll NEVER find ... I highly recommend checking out any JFK assasination gathering just for a laugh.) But back to the book ... hoot at it if you will, but it is one of the most rational, well-reasoned accounts on the murder that you'll find. No one with a reasonable view of the world can read it and blindly defend Oswald as a patsy. The facts are just too strong against him, as Moore points out ... also, the preservation of any conspiracy would have involved half of Dallas, probably even including my aunt and uncle who were working in Big D that day. And I have no reason to believe they were anywhere near the grassy knoll.
