Obtained my copy from a JFK book auction for £3 and worth every penny. It is also signed by the author. 'The Texas Connection' (1992) is a very readable synopsis, highly plausible and logically presented.
Craig Zirbel provides a well written, three hundred page, five section indictment of Lyndon Baines Johnson's guilt in the JFK assassination. I have long held the opinion that LBJ was certainly a party to the cover-up, AND was certainly guilty of conspiracy in other murders. I only wished while zooming through this read, that the author had provided notes and sources linked to the many statements in his text. In many cases he does not identify the names behind the statements.
Also, I'm not sure that I can accept all of the Zirbel analysis without some greater weight of evidence, although to be fair, these are minor details. In the main his reasoning makes a lot more sense that the official government 'no conspiracy' hogwash.

[Bj Biringer]

Very well written and is very much in line with the theories presented in the series The Men Who Killed Kennedy. I am surprised this book has not been banned by the Johnson family, since it proposed LBJ as the man behind the assassination.

[Cyndy]

Very well written. Compelling case against Johnson and believable. The corruption is insatiable and creepy. Worth the read.

[Jill]

Thought provoking but repetitive. Too much repetition. Hope the Kennedy assassination is not lost through future generations, not that it matters much. There seem to have been no honest, clean presidents - George H.W. Maybe? Anyway the book is worth a read if you are into this kind of thing, and we should all be interested in history. LBJ was quite a well you find out.

[Irene]

Very interesting (and yet another) theory on the assassination of President Kennedy. Well written and linking many of the major figures rumored to be involved.
The author seems to have researced his subject well and weaves a plausible story. Makes you think and wonder what if....?

I read this book in one sitting--a very easy read with lots of white space--but it's good and says what I've always thought:





SPOILER:

LBJ was behind the assassination.
