Summary: Fantastic and Spellbinding Work!!
Review: As I started to read, total captivation and shock took over as each page exploded the old myths I had believed for so long regarding the assassination of Our President while in High School. The author was an active participant in the Law Firm and is an extremely successful lawyer, businessman, researcher and author. The case is presented in detail and made in a very spellbinding manner. I highly recommend investing one's time in reading this work.

Summary: In America the Truth Must Be Revealed--This Book Does
Review: How can a person not believe this insider's revelations supported by objective documentary evidence as well as the Mac Wallace fingerprint--the most damaging piece of significant evidence to clearly implicate LBJ. This book details LBJ's continued oppressive and unquenchable thirst for power no matter what the methods, which become more and more dastardly. This is a must read for American history.

Summary: Barr McClellan: Thanks for the insight!
Review: One cannot visit Dealey Plaza and view the Zapruder film without coming to the conclusion that there was more than one shooter. Having said that, you must then ask, who had a motive and the means to acomplish the deed. Years ago my research led me to view LBJ as the villain, and now it is gratifying to have additional support for those conclusions. The book names the people, places and means by which Kennedy was killed. Documentation is provided wherein the assasin (Mac Wallace) is tied to LBJ directly via a murder trial and other proofs.If there is a shortcoming, it is that Barr McClellan has put words into the mouths of the persons in the Book Depository which he could not know unless he was there himself. He also writes as though he were a 3rd party to conversations between Johnson and Clark when only those two men were together. This book will help with the question: "Was there a consiracy"?
You may not agree, but keep an open mind and view all the evidence.... this book provides a lot of evidence!

Summary: Stinko!
Review: Who could make head or tail out of this mess? Did someone actually EDIT this book? While sober? Sheesh! I love conspiracy books but it must be written with a smidgen of recognizable English syntax. Look at this sentence:
"Still the tough guy, however, one more lesson in violence was needed." I read for pleasure - not to read and re-read each sentence trying to figure out what it means.
After slogging through this book, I'm still not sure what his conspiracy theory is.

Summary: Oliver Stone, Where are you? You need to make a movie....
Review: This book is so disturbing, it needs to be made into a movie, now!
To think about this book is unthinkable! Hard to believe the facts in this book could be so possibly true. Amazing and very disturbing. I am ready for a movie to come out based on this book!

Summary: LBJ finally revealed
Review: All Texans know that LBJ stole the 1948 US Senate election from Coke Stevenson by stuffing the ballot box. All Texans also know about how LBJ went into office a poor man and came out a rich man. What we didn't know was just how corrupt a man he was, until reading this book. His ego was bigger than Texas, and he just had to be president. All that was standing in his way was John and Robert Kennedy. Add in the fact that Billy Sol Estes was going to jail and was going to take LBJ with him (Bobby Kennedy, the AG of the US, would see to that), and it is not hard to believe that LBJ would consider murder to achieve his goals. This book spells out in detail for everyone how and why he did it. It is must reading for anybody interested in how and why JFK was cut down in broad daylight in LBJ's home state. Highly recommend this book, if for no other reason than to learn how attorney/client privelege with a corrupt lawyer, Ed Clark, led to so many people being disillusioned with their government. Most critics of this book pooh-pooh the allegations, but they didn't work for LBJ's law firm like Barr McClellan did. They didn't help negotiate the final payoff for the assassination like Barr McClellan did. They didn't talk to the mastermind behind the assassination (Ed Clark) like Barr McClellan did. It is beyond me why Mr. McClellan would make these allegations regarding Mr. Clark if they weren't true. The author's son is now the White House spokesman for President Bush, so the family has always been close to the White House power structure.

Summary: This is America--the Truth Must Be Told
Review: This book is phenomenal in tracing the escalating greed and corruption of LBJ. The book brings out the chronology matched with the undisputed events to trace a terrible group of men who never had enough power and would do anything to protect it. This book is a must read for anyone interested in true American values.

Summary: Book says more about author's paranoia than anything else
Review: Looking for an examination of physical evidence within this book? Save your time. Most of this book is devoted to an examination of "code words" that the author overheard, and intuitive conclusions the author has made despite the absence of any concrete evidence. Under ordinary circumstances, a person who was convinced that everyone around him was speaking in a secret code would be a prime candidate for a competency hearing, but apparently not in this case. Aside from the secret code babble, McClellan gives the reader revelations about what an unscrupulous power-monger LBJ was. Well gee, that sure is news to me...I always thought LBJ was pure as the driven snow. Good grief, if being unscrupulous qualifies one for being the force behind political assassinations, then virtually everyone working on Capitol Hill in 1963 would have to be considered as a suspect. Even more hilarious is McClellan's subscribing to the Camelot myth, the notion that JFK somehow represented all that was good & pure in US politics. Give me a break. This book is ridiculous on so many different levels that it is truly amazing at times. As theories go, the rationale behind this one takes absurdity to its extreme. For example, if one is going to argue the notion that the person (or persons) who benefitted the most from the JFK assassination had to be the person (or persons) behind it, why not look at the Kennedys themselves? After all, the assassination transformed JFK from a mediocre and probably one-term president into a dazzling leader of unfulfilled promised, cut down in his prime. Getting shot in many ways was the best career move JFK ever made, and certainly the Kennedy family has milked the Camelot mythos for all it is worth. Using McClellan's methodology, this should qualify the Kennedys as prime suspects! We ought to be sending a squad of investigators to Hyannisport immediately. One can make one of two conclusions about the author: he is either truly delusional and paranoid, or is cynically exploiting the whole conspiracy cottage industry to make a quick buck by floating the most outrageous theory he can cook up. Since he is preaching to the choir anyway, I am inclined to believe the second conclusion.

Summary: A Unique Perspective on an Unspeakable Crime
Review: Of all the books that have been written about the assassination of JFK, only one has been able to go beyond mere speculation with regard to LBJ's involvement in the crime. Barr McClellan's access to critical evidence makes him amply qualified to share a unique perspective into one of the darkest conspiracies of the twentieth century. Truly a page-turner, McClellan's BLOOD, MONEY AND POWER reads like a novel as the author takes the reader through every detail of the unspeakable crime. He also provides background information on the main characters which, to me, makes them three-dimensional and helps to establish motive for their actions. It is an excellent book and I highly recommend it.

Summary: No Texan should stand by LBJ
Review: I have read a few magazine articles on the assasination of JFK but never considered the conspiracy theories much. None ever rang true for long. However, this book sheds new light on the motives and deconstructs the myth of LBJ. Finally a book that really puts it out there. At least it is pointing in the right direction. It is closer to the truth than any documentary or movie that has been made up to this point. LBJ was ABSOLUTELY, and without a doubt the man behind the death of JFK. It is an exciting and enlightening view on a very sad moment in our history, one for which we are STILL paying for and will continue to pay for. It was the end of America. The book sheds light on the motives.Barr McClellan is one of the few who does have the fortunate insight and knowledge to write this book and I am damn glad he did. The state of Texas, Austin, TX specifically continues to glorify and admire LBJ and the Johnson family. I think every Texan should read this book. If they have any sort of a conscience, they will no longer be able to bring themselves to praise this man even in the smallest thought but see him for the sleazy politician he really was. Based on this book alone, based on the theory that it offers, what it does expose is a cowardly man and no Texan should stand by LBJ.
