Introduction

What really happened in Dealey Plaza on the afternoon of November 22, 1963? I can tell you with complete assurance that what transpired in Dallas on that fateful day has not yet been concretely established. The writing of this book has the potential to change that particular prospect.

Why was there a need for this book to be written? This book needed to be written for a number of reasons. First and foremost, after looking at the evidence gathered and made public regarding the murder of President Kennedy for nearly three years I arrived at certain conclusions that were sternly contradictory to what has been officially disclosed. Secondly, by exposing the conclusions that I had arrived at, perhaps another President would not be assassinated under the same dubious circumstances in our future. And lastly, after reaching my conclusions, knowing that the real assassins of President Kennedy were never discovered was enough motivation for me to begin this process.

What do we know about the assassination of President Kennedy? We know what we have been officially told by the Warren Commission. The Commission ultimately concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald took three shots at the President, from the southeast window of the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. Oswald allegedly employed a Mannlicher –Carcano, World War II vintage 6.5 mm Italian bolt- action rifle to do the shooting.

The paramount principle of the Commission’s conclusions is that Oswald was the lone gunman who fired at the President. Another fundamental conclusion of the Commission is the notion that Oswald only had time to fire three shots. After a detailed and complete analysis of the ballistic, medical and film evidence gathered from the shooting I can declare, with the strongest conviction, that the undeniable ballistic indication is that three gunmen fired five shots at President Kennedy. These men took their shots from varied distances and heights around Dealey Plaza.

After so many years and so much speculation that has taken place it has become nearly impossible to separate fact from fiction regarding the murder of President Kennedy. Considering all the testimony rendered and all the declarations made concerning the event we can no longer tell who might have made official statements that were less than factual, and who actually stated the truth. I would surmise what we have been told regarding the assassination, officially and otherwise, as a mixture of questionable declarations, and perhaps some basic truths.

For a long time I had harbored the suspicion that the shooting of President Kennedy could not have happened as it had been disclosed. A long time ago, on a weekend, a program came on television concerning the assassination of the President. The documentary was shown on the History Channel, and Peter Jennings narrated it. As I watched the telecast I began to realize that some of the details of the shooting stated during the broadcast sounded vague, and were perhaps not entirely factual. The program featured the complete footage of the Zapruder film. After watching this program my previous suspicions regarding the assassination of President Kennedy were essentially confirmed. I began having serious doubts as to what had been officially disclosed concerning the shooting.

By the time of the telecast I had already begun initial research into the President’s assassination, mainly the particulars of the second shot fired. It was the viewing of this program, which I quickly found to be obviously misleading and erroneous in part, that sealed my commitment to a complete analysis.
