It exposes the questionable origins of Reclaiming History in a dubious mock trial for cable television, in which Bugliosi played the role of an attorney prosecuting Lee Harvey Oswald for murder, and how this formed the basis for the epic tome. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAuthor James DiEugenio details the myriad problems with Bugliosi's book, and explores the cooperation of the mainstream press in concealing many facts during the publicity campaign for the book and how this lack of scrutiny led Hanks and Goetzman--cofounders of the production company Playtone--to purchase the film rights. DiEugenio then shows how the film adapted from that book, entitled Parkland, does not resemble Bugliosi's book and examines why. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book reveals the connections between Washington and Hollywood, as well as the CIA influence in the film colony today.
