Description
The assassination of President Kennedy was an appalling and grisly conspiracy. Kaiser shows that the events of November 22, 1963, cannot be understood without fully grasping the two larger stories of which they were a part: the U.S. government's campaign against organized crime; and the furtive quest of two administrations to eliminate Castro.
