In this fascinating and masterful work of research, Gus Russo finally unmasks the hidden secrets that have surrounded the Kennedy assassination for 35 years. It is packed with never-before-seen documents and photographs, and never-before-known information -- the result of tireless research and exhaustive interviews with countless key players in the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations.
