For decades, the truth about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy has been obscured by those with an agenda of one kind or another. Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty has, in his interviews, letters, and books, explained the motives and methods behind the plot to topple an American president. JFK: The CIA, Vietnam, and the Plot to Assassinate John F. Kennedy provides a fascinating perspective on the assassination. L. Fletcher Prouty draws on his experience and insider knowledge to review the particular security arrangements in Dallas on November 22, 1963, and other circumstances to support his belief that Kennedy's murder was, in fact, a carefully played and professionally executed coup d'etat.

Prouty's work was a source for Oliver Stone's movie, JFK, and he was the basis for the Donald Sutherland character "X" in the movie. Anyone who suspects that the Warren Report didn't reveal the whole truth about the murder of President Kennedy, or is interested in an insider's perspective on one of America's most shocking crimes, will want to read Prouty's views.
