About this listen

 2008 Audie Award Finalist for Achievement in Abridgement

The nation's foremost prosecutor takes on the most important murder case in American history

For over forty years the truth about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy has been obscured. Now Vincent Bugliosi, author of the biggest selling true-crime book of all time, finally releases us from a crippling distortion of American history.

Twenty years in the making, Reclaiming History resolves, beyond any reasonable doubt, every lingering question surrounding the Kennedy Assassination. Bugliosi confronts and destroys the theories that have grown up since the assassination, revealing their selective use of evidence, flawed logic, and outright deceptions. Providing a powerful and unprecedented narrative of events and a biography of the assassin, he confirms the oft-challenged findings of the Warren Commission -- Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, shot and killed President John F. Kennedy -- and exposes every conspiracy theory as a fraud on the American public.

A narrative compendium of fact, forensic evidence, reexamination of key witnesses and common sense, Reclaiming History surpasses all other books on the subject. With his irresistible logic, command of the evidence, and startling inferences, Bugliosi draws on his legendary skills as a prosecutor to shed fresh and definitive light on this long American nightmare.©2007 Vincent Bugliosi.

This book began with the LWT mock trial between Vincent Bugliosi, prosecuting Oswald, and Gerry Spence defending. Bugliosi handedly dismantled Spence, who relied heavily on theatrics, innuendo, and emotional appeals. Bugliosi continues his focus on the FACTS of the case, rather than innuendo, baseless allegations, and unprovable theories.

The story itself is laid out in great detail, handling all the pertinent witnesses and events of the day and it’s aftermath. Bugliosi eventually turns his focus to conspiracy theorists and deals directly with every theory imaginable, exposing how many misuse and abuse the Warren Commission Report. Just an example is Dr. Crenshaw, whose presence at Parkland is confirmed in the Commission’s Report but is that of a junior resident showing films prior to the President’s arrival. When Crenshaw got to Trauma Room One the incision for a tracheotomy had been made to the throat wound, thus he believed it was an entrance wound.

Bugliosi’s work helps expose the reality that many intelligent people don’t think about this subject in an intelligent manner, being led astray by what are either deceptive or lazy individuals. How many people have actually read all the volumes of the Warren Commission? Even this book seems like an impossible feat for many, the end notes and references alone are larger than many books published on JFK.

Highly recommend getting the book itself, but this is a very accessible route to the content of the book. Vincent Bugliosi remains the Authority on this case. If you have ANY interest in this case, this is the must read/listen.

Enjoy!

this book goes into detail some of it gory detail. not only does it cover the last 24 hours of JFK's life but it goes into detail about the aftermath investigation and the Warren Commission. and it also tackles a lot of the conspiracy theories including the Oliver Stone film JFK. really worth the listen. I used to be counted among the conspiracy theorists mostly because of the Oliver Stone film but thanks to a book like this I realize just how stupid it really was. There was no conspiracy it's as simple as that.

This was an experience
