About Books, August 23, 2008

James W. Douglass, author of "JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters," has a long interest in peace. For the past twleve years he has been researching the deaths of John Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy and Malcolm X. This is the first book with more to come. Douglass is very upfront with his belief that Kennedy's death was organized by the CIA because of Kennedy's wish to end the Cold War by dialoging with the likes of Khruschev and Castro. He supports his argument with extensive research (100 pages of footnotes). Douglass believes that by revealing this urge to kill the dream of peace, we can better pursue peace today.
