Tragic Truth: Oswald Shot Kennedy by Accident (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781523716609)

Tragic Truth is changing understanding of the most important murder in our history: Lee Oswald's shooting of President Kennedy. It is now settled fact that Oswald did it, alone; no conspiracy, only one inept man wildly firing three bullets. Still unanswered and troubling is the question "Why did Oswald kill Kennedy?" Excellent books including the "Warren Report", "Case Closed" and "Reclaiming History" failed to define a motive. Why? Because it's the wrong question. Oswald revered JFK and had no intent to harm him. But he thought he had reason to take revenge against former Secretary of the Navy and now Governor of Texas John Connally, riding with Kennedy. He nearly killed Connally and accidentally murdered our President. James Reston, Jr.'s "The Accidental Victim" was a fine introduction. Now, after 50 years of research, 776 pages present the full proof, validating all important facts with hundreds of photos, maps, diagrams and documents, supported by 3481 source notes. The book displays direct evidence that Oswald wrote in his pocket notebook "I will kill John Connally". Open minds will conclude, beyond any reasonable doubt, that inept Lee Harvey Oswald killed an innocent victim by accident, and changed history. That is the Tragic Truth. A revised edition was published in 2017 with several corrections to internal cross-references, and over 200 improvements to wording, for your easier reading. When new (not used) books are ordered, you will receive the revised edition. Honoring the 5th anniversary of Tragic Truth's publication, the price of a new book is cut from $44 to $28 -- Exactly the same book as the full revised edition, merely the author's chopping of his royalties from $16 to a few cents. He does this to honor the 421 who have purchased the book, and to thank 7 reviewers for Amazon ratings averaging 4.86. The only reviewer awarding fewer than 5 stars gave it 4, coupled with their one-word review: "excellent". The best accolade is that not one person has in any way disputed the facts and logic of the book's explanation that Oswald killed JFK unintentionally, while aiming at the man directly in-line with him in the limousine, Texas Governor John Connally, whom Oswald hated -- and after writing in his pocket notebook "I WILL KILL JOHN CONNALLY". It's all true, documented, and honestly discussed. This is an important book, and should find a wider market with the price now chopped to the bone.
