Why He Died and Why It Matters
James W. Douglass - 2010-10-19 (first published in 2008)
Goodreads Rating
Discover the shocking truth behind JFK's assassination in this compelling book that delves into the "Unspeakable" forces at play during the Cold War era. JFK risked starting a nuclear war by pursuing peace, a direct threat to the power-hungry military and intelligence agencies committed to winning the Cold War at any cost. Author James W. Douglass takes readers on a journey into the Oval Office during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the strange journey of Lee Harvey Oswald, and the Dallas ambush aimed at the President's motorcade. JFK and the Unspeakable is a must-read for those seeking a well-documented and convincing portrait of an American president.

A couple people in my timeline are discussing the deadly attack on the USS Liberty by Israel. One points out that it was “investigated” but a big part of that was a CIA memo. This is from the great book The Ghost on CIA Zionist James Jesus Angleton by @jeffersonmorley .      source
