Politics, History, Intrigue, and Mystery. 
 JKF and the Unspeakable got to me in a way I didn't expect. Organizing facts in support of a JFK assassination theory is like ordering a meal at Alice's Restaurant. You can get anything you want. Still, I found this book both persuasive and deeply disturbing. 
 The accuracy of tomes like these is dependent upon the author's use of primary sources. I didn't check them. One chapter had nine hundred and thirty-six footnotes. The others were as well documented. Most of the sources, it appears, are virtually unimpeachable. Even leaving out tangential reports and speculation, the author presents a treacherous story that burns your whiskers off. It is a tale of democracy subverted by the government itself; it is a narrative of murder by planned ambush and political power. 
 The book is not without flaws. The author's prose is not economical. Some of the reporting is redundant. The same quote appears in four places in the book, for example. Because of the vast literature regarding President Kennedy's assassination, it is easy to feel, fairly or not, that the author's a priori beliefs regarding the Dallas murders drive the narrative and research. 
 The book, though, is worth reading. Volumes of previously unreleased documents have been made available over the last decades. JKF and the Unspeakable shows how difficult it would be, after reviewing the evidence, to believe a history-changing assassination was pulled off by a lone, disgruntled employee of a book warehouse.
