Book Reviews of JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters
Book Review: This is not a "conspiracy theory" book. This is a history book.
Summary: 5 Stars
The assassination of JFK, and its immediate aftermath, was burned into my then sixth-grade brain by its shocking suddenness and brutality. In those days, we weren't yet used to seeing people murdered live on television. Since then, I have read literally dozens of books and watched many hours of movies and videos, in an attempt to make sense of this terrible act. And thus I've heard that the Mafia, the Communists, the Jews, and virtually every other group that "people love to hate" were behind it all.
Finally I picked up this book, and it changed everything. Putting not his assassination, but Kennedy's life and spiritual journey towards true peace for all of Earth as the backdrop, "JFK and the Unspeakable" makes it crystal clear exactly what we lost. I cried when I realized for the first time exactly how close the destruction of the world was during the Cuban Missle Crisis: recently declassified information shows that Russia had *four times the number of nuclear missles in Cuba* as we previously knew about. And the author shows in exhausting, footnoted, yet never dull detail how Kennedy was literally about to pull us out of Vietnam (bitter fact: he was quoted as being greatly concerned about the 47 American dead up to then, and said the conflict wasn't worth another American life). Maybe JFK wasn't perfect in his personal life, but even as a kid I sensed how great he was as a president. He was the kind of statesman we haven't seen in a long time; the kind who looked past politics and saw what was right and what was wrong.
That's why he was killed.
Don't read this book if you're not prepared to learn the complete truth about who, how, and why. If you're a thinking person, the full impact of what was done to JFK and our country will disgust and alarm you. This book will put all the presidencies since JFK's into proper perspective. It will make you curse those literal maniacs (yes, names are named) who *wanted us to start a nuclear war* with the Soviet Union, and who did get us into Vietnam, causing the death of millions of people. It will help you realize that Nikita Khrushchev was not the nasty warmonger he was made out to be in the 1960s. And it will make you realize how much damage a small number of truly evil, power-hungry people have done to this country...and how it's not too late for honest folks to turn things around.
N.B. Now my own son has borne similar witness to 9/11, at virtually the same age as I was when JFK was killed. I hope the conspiracy theorists are wrong, and 40 years from now we will be positive that it truly was bin Laden's minions that perpetrated this evil act. Still...search for "Global Guardian" and ask yourself how likely it is that multiple aircraft hijackings took place exactly when and where the military was simulating multiple aircraft hijackings taking place...and remember that the same kind of evil cynical maniacs are still in high places in our government.
