Destiny Betrayed : J.F.K., Cuba, and the Garrison Case

Rating:
Summary: the Definitive telling of the Garrison case
Review: Destiny Betrayed is the true telling of the Garrison case in which it was heavily attacked by the Media and Govt. Jim Deugino tells the whole story clearly and to the point about what really happend to Garrison's prosecution of Clay Shaw for conspiracy of assassinating JFK. although Garrison made some mistakes, which cost some crediblity on the case. never the less its a damn fine book to read to show that Garrison was on the right track.

Rating:
Summary: sifting through the flotsam & jetsam
Review: I enjoyed this book for a few reasons: 1) it is a concise (although not comprehensive) summary of the known facts of the assassination/investigation, 2) it is adept at weaving the events and moods of the day into the historical tapestry, 3) it is the first book I've encountered to look at Jim Garrison the man and his motivations in an objective manner. I've followed most of the conspiracy theories and anti-conspiracy theories pretty closely, and find it rare to encounter a study like this one, that doesn't add confusion for every point it clarifies.

While there is a lot of additional material worthy of reading and research, this book is a good objective overview of the assassination in in's historical context, and of the only prosecution of anyone anywhere for the crime of the century.
