Reclaiming History

Vincent Bugliosi first came to prominence as the prosecutor of Charles Manson. Now he 'prosecutes' Lee Harvey Oswald for the murder of John F. Kennedy in Final Verdict: The True Account of the Murder of John F. Kennedy. On Nov. 22, 1963 at one p.m., Kennedy was pronounced dead. For 25 years, people have disagreed over what really happened on that fateful day in Dallas. Bugliosi looks at ballistic evidence, re-examines witnesses and provides a logical perspective on the day that changed American history. Bugliosi sheds light on this American tragedy and answers, finally, what really happened.

The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy

The book that lays all questions to rest.

Polls reveal that over 75 percent of Americans believe there was a conspiracy behind Lee Harvey Oswald; some even believe Oswald was entirely innocent. In this absorbing and historic book-the first ever to cover the entire case-Vincent Bugliosi shows how we have come to believe such lies about an event that changed the course of history.

The brilliant prosecutor of Charles Manson and the man who forged an iron-clad case of circumstantial guilt around O. J. Simpson in his best-selling Outrage, Bugliosi is perhaps the only man in America capable of "prosecuting" Oswald for the murder of President Kennedy. His book is a narrative compendium of fact, forensic evidence, reexamination of key witnesses, and common sense. Every detail and nuance is accounted for, every conspiracy theory revealed as a fraud upon the American public. Bugliosi's irresistible logic, command of the evidence, and ability to draw startling inferences shed fresh light on this American nightmare. At last we know what really happened. At last it all makes sense.

Vincent Bugliosi, prosecutor of Charles Manson and author of Helter Skelter, Outrage, and other #1 best-selling books, lives in Los Angeles.
