Six essays on the conspiracy theories and intrigues surrounding the JFK assassination by Edward Jay Epstein. Epstein, who Michael Wolff in USA Today describes as "one of the great investigative journalists of the era," was the only journalist to have interviewed the Warren Commission. These essays deal with 60 theories of the assassination, the death of George De Mohrenschildt (who was shot in the midst of a 4-day interview with Epstein), Oliver Stone's movie JFK, and a parallel CIA murder plot. PRAISE FOR EDWARD JAY EPSTEIN“Epstein believes that conspiracies are more common than most journalists credit; for much of his career, he has reveled in the kind of tantalizing clues that could lead somewhere, or nowhere.” —Joe Nocera, The New York Times “Epstein is a bulldog researcher.” —Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post “A brilliant investigator.” — Lou Dobbs
