Rating: Summary: Unbelievable. I couldn't finish it. Hard to believe the Review: author was a successful attorney in Texas. I guess the standards in Texas are fairly low. I'm also feel bad for the author's son as he is the President's press secretary. The author knows one thing about the law: you can't libel the dead. And he uses that to libel his now dead former law partners. LBJ was no saint but I can't begin to accept the fact that he ordered the death of JFK. The thing that turned me off right away is that the author claims he was a fairly recent hire at an Austin law firm and one of the partners tells this young associate employee that LBJ had JFK killed. That just doesn't begin to wash. I worked at a big law firm in Omaha and I can assure anyone that senior partners don't begin to tell new associate lawyers anything like that even if it were true. And then the author goes on to allege that this same law firm was involved in all sorts of crimes. The writing it too horrible to stand. No editor's pen touched this piece of work. All in all, an embarrassment to the State Bar of Texas, the author and his family.
Rating: Summary: Not to be missed Review: This book adds important inside information to the conspiracy about which there are already many publications. But this one is not to be missed. It's author is not just anybody, and this strongly pleads in favor of the credibility of his detailed revelations. Furthermore, the man can certainly write. I did however discovere pieces of on-the-record- information that were not checked by the author, or from which he apparantly distances himself from. In my opinion these relatively small errors do not necessarily affect the seriousness of the work, since mr McClellan should be seen more as a witness than a publicist/ investigator. What the book lacks is an explanation why mr McClellan wrote it only in 2003.Being a lawyer, a lawsuit should not be his problem. Had he revealed all this in, for example, 1985, the 'bang' would have been much bigger. The information provided by the book makes clear LBJ was one of the main conspirators in the case. This was already assumed by many, but proof now comes from a rather unexpected angle: a lawyer. Next step is to link McClellans 'LBJ-Clark-Wallace connection' to the 'Hunt-Sturgis-Banister' evidence, which I feel can be seen as 'established'. Oswald could be that link. Although McClellan writes that Oswald was on the sixth floor and shot, I think his role was far less important. But he was a key man in the assassination for sure. I just hope McClellans book brings forward more witnesses. It is about time to get it all in the open.
Rating: Summary: Wow, A Fantastic Book With Critical Supporting Evidence Review: This book truly erases the mystery behind what really happened by making a chronicle of the corruption of LBJ and his cohorts in crime. The Mac Wallace fingerprint clinches the case. Any history buff must read this book.
Rating: 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.
Rating: 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.
Rating: 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!
Rating: 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.
Rating: 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! Dirk
Rating: 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.
Rating: 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.
