Summary: Rich american "maffia"
Review: After reading it, just relax, make up your mind, and figure out who, in the TOP american business planned the crime, and how many former US american presidentes may have been involved DIRECTLY in the cover-up (one,two, three, four...BINGO!!!).

Summary: worth finding out
Review: Bill Turner has a pretty interesting collection of work. No matter which side he's on, he always seems interested in the real truth-even if it's the opposite of what it was 20 years ago and 20 years before that and so on. History will tell he is trying to let people know who is really running things. The most powerful people, not necessarily the people with the high IQ's. But what's worse are the killers who think they're acting intelligently out of the most brutal types of professions in the world. What's worse is a Business Army getting paid--a lot--to intelligently force wills on people in the name of freedom. It's ironic how all the politicians are, in hindsight, copying the only President that ever made them mad enough to kill in recent times. No, Kennedy wasn't like any of them. And the same for Robert. They've been etched in history as forcibly being thrown out of the false concept of Politician ilk which inspires running, or hiding, from the press. Or badgering the press. Or being repulsed by any issue which requires courage, or an opportunity to change something big to enhance everyone at least a little instead of all for the little level at the top. They've been sealed by truth with the act of being slain to promote honest justice for the betterment of the whole world and not just the good old US Big Business. Read your bibles. Good book Bill, I'm glad to know someone's fighting for my right to the truth.

Summary: great account of state of union during kennedy times
Review: I first read Farewell America in 1996, when I was loaned a copy of the book from a business colleague. I was unable to purchase a copy of the book at that time, i was told it was not for sale. This was true at the time.The book as i read it 7 years ago was intriquing, and the fact i was unable to find the book or buy the book legally lead me to believe more in conspiracy about the JFK assassination, and to read as many books as possible about JFK and the state of the nation during and after that time. The fact that this book was researched and written so close to the time that the assassination and 'coverup' happened is the most compelling reason for reading Farewell America. After reading it again now that it is available, I still rank this book as the best source of information on this subject. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to step back with an open mind and look at the facts that were known in the first five years after Kennedy's death. There are excellent books which follow in later years, but the closer to the source, the less the distortion.

Summary: Excellent primer on the various forces at work
Review: I found this to be an excellent and fascinating primer on the various forces at work against Kennedy. Groups powerful and concerned enough to plan and carry-out the assassination. The story of the book itself, with links to Russian & French intelligence is equally important, as it provides another view of "how things (may) really work". I only give 4-stars because it reads a little dry at times, and cannot offer any "final answer" that specifically names-names. For anyone interested in JFK, I highly recommend.

Summary: Wonderful new book, with GREAT new --and scary--Introduction
Review: I heard Bill Turner, who wrote the Introduction, speak at the COPA conference in Dallas a few weeks ago on JFK. I bought this book there and finished it in three days. It is an amazing story, and I think the most credible I have seen on the entire subject--partly because it was written in the 1960s by people who seemed to know what they were talking about. The author on the book is named James Hepburn, but he was a fictitious person. The real authors turned out to be French Intelligence officers working for De Gaulle, with Kennedy people helping (including Daniel Patrick Moyahan, the future senator from New York). Turner's introduction is long and sets up the whole scenario about the book's history, etc. That alone was worth the price. According to Turner, Farewell America was originally printed in France under a different title and did well in Europe, but according to Turner, copies were seized in Canada and the book was largely banned or suppressed from American readers. The entire story is amazing, discussing the ties between corporate and banking interests, American intelligence, and international oil companies and Mafia chieftains all against President Kennedy and many of his policies. According to this book, he was killed by a combination of these organizations so that they could bring an end to the economic and social changes JFK stood for. I think the book called it "the committee." The book has a lot of detail that is fascinating, with great footnotes, and some stuff that does not seem tied into all this, and not that interesting. Overall, I recommend this book strongly to anyone interested in JFK. I had heard about this book for a long time and could never find a copy. It is a credible look at what probably happened to Kennedy. Turner is also the author of Rearview Mirror, his account of life in the FBI. That is a good book too, and I recommend that as well. (He is also a good speaker, so if you get a chance to hear him, don't miss it).

Summary: An Important Historical Document, at the Very Least
Review: I, too, couldn't obtain a copy of this book within the United States for years... Finally, I was able to download [for several hours] a copy off the Internet a few years ago.
Perhaps it's "dated", but that's what makes it all the more valuable a document historically. And indeed it is, as Bobby and Jackie secretly cooperated with the writing of "Farewell America"... No WONDER you couldn't get it here for 40 years! It must have SOME validity!

Summary: Publisher's Weekly, December 23, 2002
Review: Originally published in Europe in 1968, this is a once-notorious, now-dated look at John Kennedy's assassination and an excoriation of the American scene in its aftermath. Turner (Rearview Mirror, etc.) explains in his introduction that the book was first published under mysterious circumstances and was "aimed at advancing the 1968 presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy," but its U.S. distribution was rapidly curtailed after RFK's death. The authors ("James Hepburn" is a pseudonym) conducted clandestine research among KGB and Interpol agents and French petroleum espionage specialists and relied on a rare, unmodified print of the famed Zapruder film. The book seethes with aggrieved passion in defending the Kennedys and their ideals, and seeks to defrock the "lone gunman" theory of JFK's assassination. Most of the text is a damning jeremiad, portraying pre-1964 America as a vicious, discriminatory oligarchy controlled by alliances of Big Steel and Big Oil, the military and organized crime, which all had reason to fear JFK's proposed reforms.
According to "Hepburn," these interests combined with ultra-right-wing paramilitary groups like the Minutemen and Cuban exile groups to plan the assassination. Chapters discussing the assassination itself will be grimly convincing to some
readers, with excellent analyses of the Secret Service's failures and the ambiguous roles played by the CIA and FBI during this tumultuous era. This is a pungent historical document, but its conspiracy theory is familiar by now, and its information has been surpassed by more recent studies such as Murder in Dealey Plaza, edited by James Fetzer. (Dec.)
