Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Jim Garrison’s classic account details his investigation and prosecution of JFK's murder, a pivotal event in American history that continues to evoke strong emotions nearly fifty years later. Following the rushed 1964 Warren Commission report, numerous questions about the assassination remain: Was there a conspiracy? A coup at high government levels? On March 1, 1967, Garrison, the New Orleans district attorney, made headlines by arresting local businessman Clay Shaw for conspiracy to murder the president, shortly after the mysterious death of alleged co-conspirator David Ferrie. Garrison alleged that elements within the U.S. government, particularly the CIA, were involved in the crime. His investigation faced intense media scrutiny and political backlash, with his office subjected to infiltration and sabotage, and witnesses disappearing or dying under suspicious circumstances. Ultimately, Shaw was acquitted after a brief jury deliberation, marking the end of the only prosecution related to JFK's assassination. Returning to print for the first time in years, Garrison’s narrative serves as the primary source for Oliver Stone’s film JFK, providing insight into his investigations into Lee Harvey Oswald and the assassination itself, as well as the trial of Clay Shaw.
