On the afternoon of November 22nd, 1963, four (4) people were shot in downtown Dallas, Texas. While most people are familiar with President Kennedy, the then governor of Texas John Connally and the Dallas policeman J.D. Tippit, the story of James T. Tague has been largely forgotten by history books.
James T. Tague was a bystander, he was a car salesman who had been living in Dallas, and he'd traveled to the downtown area to view the presidential motorcade.
James T. Tague was standing on the sidewalk at 12:30 PM, and he was hit by shrapnel from a bullet.
James T. Tague received minor injuries from the gunshot wound, and he did make a full recovery. James T. Tague died in 2014.
Nearly 60 years later the world still does not know who had fired the gun which ended up hitting James T. Tague.
I'm recommending "Truth Withheld: A Survivor's Story- Why We Will Never Know The Truth About The Kennedy Assassination" specifically because this book illustrates just how many very serious flaws there are with the Warren Commission's official explanation for the Kennedy assassination.
10 years after "Truth Withheld" was published, James T. Tague wrote a second book which he'd entitled "LBJ And The Kennedy Killing". The second book that James T. Tague wrote was published in 2013. In the second book that James T. Tague wrote, he implicates former President Johnson (Vice President Johnson at the time of the assassination) and his staff members as having been involved in the assassination. This claim is so preposterous that it's tempting to discount all of the evidence that James T. Tague had included in "Truth Withheld" once you read the second book that he'd written.
However- while I see no fact based evidence at all in "LBJ And The Kennedy Killing," I do see a much more rational and scientific approach to describing the events of the afternoon of November 22nd, 1963, the subsequent investigations and how all of the numerous agencies and commissions which have been involved in analyzing the Kennedy assassination seem to be eager to ignore numerous pieces of evidence because certain pieces of evidence would contradict the official explanation in "Truth Withheld".
Taken on its own WITHOUT reading the second book that James T. Tague wrote, after you read "Truth Withheld," it becomes notably difficult to take the Warren Commission's official explanation seriously.
"Truth Withheld" does not provide us with any answers about the Kennedy assassination- after reading this book, we still have no idea who, aside from Oswald had been involved and what their motivations were or what roles they'd played, but this book makes it very clear that the official explanation cannot possibly be the entire story.
