Зачем убили Джона Кеннеди. Правда, которую важно знать

Quote The best study of this tragedy known to me Oliver Stone, director What is this book about The assassination of John F. Kennedy and its various versions have been described by many authors, but for the first time we meet a thorough and objective study of not so much who did it and how, but why, and most importantly, why. What could be so terrible and unacceptable that made it possible to make a decision to eliminate the President of the United States? Who benefited? Whom and what did the president interfere with? After the successful resolution of the Caribbean crisis, when the world stood on the brink of a nuclear catastrophe, President Kennedy made a radical reversal: he decided to end the Cold War and the arms race associated with it. He stopped listening to his advisors and turned to deeper ethics and a deeper vision of the world for all. He signed an agreement with Khrushchev on the limitation of nuclear tests, gave a speech at the American University, calling for an end to the confrontation with the USSR. He decided to withdraw troops from Vietnam. He even secretly began to prepare negotiations with Fidel Castro. It is not surprising that this was contrary to the plans of the military and special services. In his eyes, he became a traitor, and for this, according to the author, he was sentenced to death. Jim Douglas believes the world would look different today if Kennedy had lived. He immerses the reader in the context of the foreign policy of the early 1960s and builds his research on the basis of unique materials, including personal correspondence between Kennedy and Khrushchev. Why the book is worth reading - In 1991, Oliver Stone released the film John F. Kennedy. Shots in Dallas”, dedicated to the refutation of the official version of the assassination of President Kennedy. The film caused a great discussion in American society, and Oliver Stone, having deeply understood the reasons for the Kennedy assassination, became an active supporter of an independent and unbiased investigation of this tragedy. It was his active participation that helped draw the attention of Americans to the book by Jim Douglas, which went through several reprints in the United States. In 2017, Oliver Stone personally invited the editor-in-chief of Alpina Publisher to publish a book by Jim Douglas in Russian. - 61% of Americans do not believe in the official version that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and there was no conspiracy - these are the results of a survey conducted by Gallup in 2013, when 50 years have passed since the assassination of Kennedy. In previous years, the number of those who did not trust the official investigation reached 81%. - Kennedy's assassination occurred at a turning point in both American and world history, when the fate of not only the United States, but the world as a whole was being decided. The consequences of this tragedy, primarily in terms of the configuration and principles of building the American elite, have not been overcome to this day. It is not surprising that now interest in the "Dallas murder" is growing again. Turning times have come again in America, and again, as in the Kennedy era, we are talking about the reconfiguration of the American elite and about very serious forks for American politicians. We believe that answers to many questions can be found in a thorough study of the causes and circumstances of the Kennedy assassination, which are set out in this book. - At the moment, this is the most authoritative book on the assassination of President Kennedy. Oliver Stone, Robert Kennedy Jr., Yoko Ono, John Perkins, Daniel Ellsberg, Martin Sheen and other famous people consider it a must read for anyone who wants to understand why President Kennedy was assassinated. - The author believes that much of what we know about the United States, about its freedoms and democratic values, is nothing more than a screen that hides behind a police state controlled by special services and the military-industrial complex, which are ready for anything, including the assassination of the country's president, in order to keep your power. - The current confrontation between Russia and the United States has created a huge crisis of confidence on the part of the elites of both countries. It is all the more interesting to study in detail the situation around the Caribbean crisis of 1962, when a similar crisis of confidence was overcome by the personal courage of Kennedy and Khrushchev, who went against their military and intelligence services and established personal contact with each other, which allowed the crisis to be resolved peacefully. - The author builds his conclusions not only on the actions of Oswald and the testimony of witnesses to the tragedy itself, but also immerses the reader in a broader context of the international situation and those actions of President Kennedy, which caused great discontent of the military and special services. That is, he is looking for an answer to the classic question of any investigator: "Who benefited from the elimination of Kennedy"? And it gives an unequivocal answer to this question. Book review This is an objective account of how President Kennedy embarked on the path of peace. I urge everyone to read the book and understand for themselves why John F. Kennedy gave his life and why, even after half a century, it is so important to know. Robert Kennedy Jr. I ask all of you to please read this book. I cried all night over her, unable to close my eyes. This is the book that has the power to make us rise up and change the world. Maybe we can save him before he shatters into pieces. Yoko Ono This is, without a doubt, the most significant book ever written about an American president... It should be read by schoolchildren, students, and indeed by all voters. John Perkins, best-selling author of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man The book shows how a number of decisions by John F. Kennedy, going against the politics of the Cold War, caused the hatred of the military and the CIA. Was it the cause of the terrible crime, as Douglas believes? He calls for a credible investigation. It can shed light on who, how, and in whose interests America is ruled. Daniel Ellsberg, author of The Doomsday Machine Smart, controversial, exciting and controversial. Like the time that James Douglas writes about. This book is not so much about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and not so much about himself. This is a book about his time. About the time when much was hidden, when much was decided. And about what people of that time felt, sometimes not being able to express their feelings in words.
