History Will Not Absolve Us: Orwellian Control, Public Denial, and the Murder of President Kennedy
From Amazon reader "This little-known book contains the distilled thought of a group of prominent and well-respected lawyers and psychiatrists, who were convinced as early as 1963 that Kennedy was shot by the CIA (at the behest of the military-industrial complex) for his increasingly 'soft' stance toward Cuba and the USSR. The book contains facts that are both obvious and sinister, and lends credence to Schotz's assertion that almost everyone in America today 'believes' in some conspiracy to kill Kennedy, but doesn't really want to know. The book's only weakness is its occasionally overly-complex language; this is not unexpected, given the profession of its authors. No, this is NOT the ravings of another internet-conspiracy-theorist! Read it and you'll agree."

It's some weird book that holds the main text in the form of a letter, that is completed by page thirty seven, followed by two hundred and seventy five pages comprising of thirteen Appendices.
The letter contained in the main text was written by Schotz to the late, great researcher Vince Salandria that clearly lays out this authors analysis of the Orwellian control and public denial still prevalent today behind the state coup executed in Dallas in 1963.
Perhaps the most profound speech of any political leader, certainly in my life time, is included in Appendix I, delivered by Kennedy at American University on June 10th, 1963.
Appendix II contains the text of the highly insightful broadcast on the 23rd November 1963 by Fidel Castro 'Concerning the Facts and Consequences of the Tragic Death of President John F. Kennedy'. There was no Orwellian control pulling the wool over the Cuban leaders eyes!
Appendix III contains some of the earliest and sharpest salvoes against the Warren Commission conclusions, published by Salandria.
'History Will Not Absolve Us' delivers further contributions by Schotz, Ray Marcus, Fred J. Cook and Christopher Sharrett as well as the text to the little known 1961 McCloy/Zorin Agreement, which like JFK was buried in favour of never ending cold war.
All in all, I found this book a surprising and eminently enjoyable read. I also closely share Mr Schotz belief in the guilty parties behind the ambush crossfire in Dealey Plaza. I can recommend further reading of Larry Hancock's 'Tipping Point' (2021).
