Summers,A. Conspiracy. 1989
Summers, Anthony. Conspiracy. New York: Paragon House, 1989. 657 pages.
This book by British investigative journalist Anthony Summers has
earned a reputation as the best-written and best-researched book available
that presents a comprehensive overview of the JFK assassination. Summers
doesn't take a position on the Mafia vs. CIA debate, but he is able to
shed new light on both possibilities because his investigation is broader
than the books that specialize in only one facet of the case.
Many books deal exhaustively with the eyewitnesses, the photographic
evidence, Oswald's background, or the medical evidence (but seldom more
than one or two of these at the same time), while those that are
comprehensive tend to rely heavily on previous publications. In other
words, the field is so vast these days that if you want to investigate you
have to specialize, and if you want to be comprehensive you won't have
time to do much more than rearrange the previous literature. Summers is
the exception to this rule.
The 1981 edition went into NameBase first, and then updated portions
from the 1989 edition were added. There is also a 1991 edition that we
don't have. In it Summers wrote a foreword that criticized Oliver Stone
even before his movie had been released, proving once again that
assassination researchers are their own worst enemies.
