Did Oswald Act Alone?

"The President Has Been Shot!":  the Assasination of John F. Kennedy's author, James L. Swanson is convinced that he did. This book was, of course, the very opposite of the Richard Belzer one! As you can see, I pretty much asked if anyone believe the Warren Commission's report?  Well, people do!  I had asked my mom and she does.  I asked a bunch of my friends and it was 50/50.
This is a really, really well done and interesting book.  Swanson does an excellent job of presenting the events of that tragic day, stirring emotions but also presenting the facts.
Remember though, I think that moon landing was faked.  And the Warren Commission?  A group of fiction writers.
It is good to read this book though, for sure.  Just read something else, too.  I would recommend the Belzer book!

Harder than Hard

to read The Port Chicago  50 and learn of the horrible treatment of African American sailors.  Harder still to admit that I had not heard about this until I read Steve Sheinkin's book.  This is again one of those things that I pray and hope is different now among kids who are learning American history.  Here is more about the Port Chicago Disaster.  An excellent book.
