LBJ: The Mastermind of the JFK Assassination
Description
Researcher / Author of "Bloody Treason," Noel Twman on LBJ: The Mastermind of JFK's Assassination: "This book is very comprehensive about Lyndon Johnson as related to the JFK assassination.xa0 It is a well written book, easy to read, and exhaustive in its summations of the scores of other writers on this profoundly disturbing time in history.xa0 I strongly recommend this book. Nelson explains why so many of us held back and gave LBJ the benefit of the doubt when we knew in our hearts how bad he was."James Fetzer* on LBJ: The Mastermind of JFK's Assassination: "LBJ-The Mastermind is a "Masterpiece. . . beautifully written. . . Brilliant and pivotal, bringing coherence to our understanding . . . From first chapter to last, this is a beautifully written, intellectually captivating, and ultimately persuasive account of the role of LBJ in the assassination of JFK." *James H. Fetzer, Ph.D., author/editor of three major works on the JFK assassination: Assassination Science (1997), Murder in Dealey Plazaxa0 (2000), and The Great Zapruder Film Hoaxxa0 (2003).Publisher's Weekly (12/05/2011)Nelson reviews a massive amount of secondary sources to support his own hypothesis that the mastermind behind the assassination was then-VP Lyndon Johnson. LBJ's position as Kennedy's successor and "narcissistic/sociopathic personality," combined with his fear of a Kennedy plan to remove him from the upcoming 1964 ticket, form the basis of Nelson's conjecture. He dismisses the Warren Commission review of the evidence as a cover-up, stating that "it has become more and more apparent that much of the evidence originally put forward ... was invented or modified."Booklist Review - David Pitt"Keen-eyed readers will notice that the author's argument ultimately rests on a simple assertion: LBJ was the only person who could possibly arrange JFK's assassination, so therefore. axiomatically. he did it. If you buy that, the rest of the author's arguments flow (mostly) logically; if you don't, well, the book is still a fascinating read, full of some very clever creative thinking. Nelson definitely hasn't proven LBJ's guilt, but he's built an intriguing and thought-provoking case." Phillip F. Nelson is the author of LBJ: The Mastermind of the JFK Assassination . After college, a stint in the Peace Corps, and a corporate career, he began an intensive study of the JFK assassination, Johnson's presidency, and his continuing criminal conduct. The author resides in Ijamsville, Maryland.
Features & Highlights
- LBJ
- aims to prove that Vice President Johnson played an active role in the assassination of President Kennedy and that he began planning his takeover of the U.S. presidency even before being named the vice presidential nominee in 1960. Lyndon B. Johnson's flawed personality and character traits, formed as a child, grew unchecked for the rest of his life as he suffered severe bouts of manic-depressive illness. He successfully hid this disorder from the public as he bartered, stole, and finessed his way through the corridors of power on Capitol Hill, though it's recorded that some of his aides knew of his struggle with bipolar disorder.After years of researching Johnson and the JFK assassination, Phillip F. Nelson conclusively shows that LBJ had an active role in JFK's assassination, and he includes newly-uncovered photographic evidence proving that Johnson knew when and where Kennedy's assassination would take place. Nelson's careful and meticulous research has led him to uncover secrets from one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in our country's history.
