Assume Nothing
Curiosity led Edward Epstein to investigate some of the greatest political mysteries of our time, such as the JFK assassination in Dallas, the Vatican banking scandal in Rome, and the diamond cartel in South Africa. Seeking more information, he often found himself a fly on the wall at the highest reaches of the establishment, observing how presidents, tycoons, bankers, and media moguls secretly greased the wheels of power. This memoir recounts his life as a pursuer of lost truths. Some accuse Epstein of being a conspiracist, but that is incorrect. He is a puzzle solver. Instead of accepting the received wisdom, he searches for the missing pieces of the picture, such as the autopsy photograph...
Three Days in May (Enhanced Edition)
A veteran journalist continues his “exhaustively researched” (The Guardian) investigation of Dominique Strauss-Kahn Here investigative reporter Edward Jay Epstein casts fresh doubt on the events surrounding a now-infamous sexual encounter between Dominique Strauss-Kahn—better know by his initials, “DSK”—and a Guinean-born maid at New York’s Sofitel hotel. Epstein shows that DSK, then managing director at the IMF and a leading contender to unseat Nicolas Sarkozy as president of France, was under close surveillance both before and after the incident. Just two days before, French authorities intercepted a sensitive phone conversation with DSK in Washington, DC. It looks as if he w...

Suicides and Disguised Murders
James Jesus Angleton, the legendary counterintelligence chief of the CIA, pointed out to me that an apparent suicide could be a disguised murder especially of the victims held secrets of interest to intelligence services. In this light, I investigate four apparent suicides of men who held secrets. *** The jailhouse death of financier Jeffrey Epstein in New York*** The strangling of oligarch Boris Berezovsky in England*** The hanging of "God's banker: Roberto Calvi in London*** The shooting of CIA executive William Paisley in Chesapeake Bay*** The death of George de Mohrenschildt in Florida
Inquest
"Mr. Epstein ... began this book with the intention of writing a case study of the nature and activity of an extraordinary government commission. He has accomplished this task brilliantly. But in the course of interviewing nearly all members of the [Warren] Commission, and many members of its staff, he discovered that the official version of the Kennedy assassination fails to contend with serious contradictions presented by the evidence. Inquest clearly traces the process by which this official story came into being; it does not indulge in theoretical speculation about a deliberate suppression of crucial evidence. Mr. Epstein instead proposes an explanation based on the concept of "political...
The JFK ASSASSINATION DIARY
This book contains personal journal entries written by assassination researcher Edward J. Epstein, dating from 1963 to 1987.
Agency of Fear
President Bush has made the war against drugs the number one issue on the contemporary American political agenda. In this revised edition of his classic book, available for the first time in paperback, Edward Jay Epstein argues that the president has adopted the strategy of his forebear, Richard Nixon, in using the drugs war to blame foreigners for the crisis in America’s cities, and to provide a smokescreen for unrelated political activity designed to bolster executive power. The drugs crackdown has seen an almost hundredfold increase in the federal budget for narco-politics in the fifteen years since Agency of Fear was first published, while statistics on drug-running have been massaged. Epstein points out that, despite the massive budgets and public relations brouhaha, drug importation, as measured against wholesale price, has in fact grown.
Sixty Versions of the Kennedy Assassination
Six essays on the conspiracy theories and intrigues surrounding the JFK assassination by Edward Jay Epstein. Epstein, who Michael Wolff in USA Today describes as "one of the great investigative journalists of the era," was the only journalist to have interviewed the Warren Commission. These essays deal with 60 theories of the assassination, the death of George De Mohrenschildt (who was shot in the midst of a 4-day interview with Epstein), Oliver Stone's movie JFK, and a parallel CIA murder plot. PRAISE FOR EDWARD JAY EPSTEIN“Epstein believes that conspiracies are more common than most journalists credit; for much of his career, he has reveled in the kind of tantalizing clues that could lead somewhere, or nowhere.” —Joe Nocera, The New York Times “Epstein is a bulldog researcher.” —Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post “A brilliant investigator.” — Lou Dobbs
