As to what that purpose is, it is to inform the reader more as to what happened JFK that day along with persuading the reader to believe that Castro and the CIA were in on the president’s death. In the book Lamar Waldron tries to make clear all of his connections that he states throughout the book. For example providing a plentiful amount of evidence for each statement he made. However while he does show plentiful evidence for statements he believes in he also does so for statements he disagrees with. For example the single bullet theory, he gives a full summary as to what it is and how it could be correct, but then shows the evidence for what he believes. Overall from my personal perspective on the book I found it quite convincing. The book had made me more intrigued in the assassination of JFK even though at times I felt a bit exhausted from trying to process what all the book was stating. While the author has his own personal belief he provides honest and factual information about the case. All of the points and evidence he provided made a exceptional argument for either side but his point made the most sense. The book is also well organized for example how each chapter specifically looks at a specific topic which ultimately keeps things organized. However the only problem I really have with the book is the slow pace and repetitiveness that often takes

The assassination of former president John F. Kennedy was a tragic event that left citizens across the United States in grief, shock, and disbelief. The tragedy became the subject of controversy as speculations of a political conspiracy involving the CIA, the Mafia, or the Soviet Union surround the assassination. Some people began to distrust and criticize the Warren Commission’s report of the investigation of events regarding Kennedy’s death. Some conspiracy theorists assert that the assassination was not the act of a lone gunman as reported, and they cite evidence in the theories of the “magic bullet” and the grassy knoll. Fred Kaplan, a journalist, refutes these prominent conspiracy theories in his article “Killing Conspiracy.”

The way Oswald 's life was described, it made me think that Oswald felt he didn 't belong anywhere. Killing Kennedy worded Oswald’s life perfectly in my opinion. Although O’Reilly could have described his childhood to give more depth about him, there was still a substantial amount of information.further into the book, when O 'Reilly was describing how LHO killed JFK it felt like i was right beside Oswald in that snipers nest. What also interested me was it was described that Oswald didn 't have anything against him. One of the many things that we will never really know is why he did it.

The book gives us a variety of words to look at, there were moments where a word I didn't understand would pop up and I would have to stop my reading and look up the definition. These moments were unexpected and would make me kind of jump inside. The book gave me a boring feeling only because I felt he repeats some things he says. On the other hand every time I read the book it would give me new facts over arguing and what I should do in the little boxes he left in the margins. These helpful facts I would use mostly on my quite obnoxious younger brothers.

It’s the year 1976, the United States Senate has just called for a new inquiry into the infamous assassination of President John F. Kennedy, who was shot in 1963 during his own motorcade in Dallas, TX while running for re-election. The CIA along with the FBI were coaxed into releasing new documents on Lee Harvey Oswald, and individuals who had not given evidence previously were persuaded to come forward. Pieces of evidence such as sound recordings and photographs were being subjected to scientific research analysis using more modern equipment. In 1979 the House Select Committee on Assassinations, or (HCSA), finally came to a verdict that Lee Harvey Oswald shot three times at the president; one of which, hitting his head and killing him. It was also concluded that a fourth shot was taken from ‘the grassy knoll’, which was something that was contradicting to the statement given by the Warren Commission 16 years earlier.
