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 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.
