"I'm glad Joe Williams is out there fighting." — Oliver Stone On Nov. 22, 1963, America changed forever. But was the murder of President John F. Kennedy the work of one deranged individual—or a well-orchestrated coup? Fifty years later, the vast majority of Americans believe that the shooting in Dallas was not the work of a mediocre marksman named Lee Harvey Oswald and that Jack Ruby was not just a patriotic strip-club owner who shot the accused assassin in a fit of grief. But what does the evidence say? If you are among the millions who crave the straight dope, The Grassy Knoll Report is your guidebook for finding the needle of truth in the haystack of history. Joe Williams, an award-winning reporter and critic for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, has spent more than 30 years investigating the Kennedy assassination and has assembled this concise, user-friendly guide from the best available resources. He examines the major suspects, from Oswald to the Mafia to renegade elements of the CIA, scrutinizes the conclusions of the Warren Report and discusses the evidence in clear terms. Presenting a comprehensive timeline, more than 80 capsule biographies of key figures, dozens of new and archival photos, and a comparison of competing theories, The Grassy Knoll Report is an indispensable resource for students and newcomers to the case. Yet it also offers in-depth analysis based on primary documents and the latest research. And in the spirit of social critics from Mort Sahl and the Smothers Brothers to Bill Hicks and Richard Belzer, The Grassy Knoll Report is seriously entertaining. Jimmy Fallon says, "The Grassy Knoll Report is amazing."
