Charles Brandt applies his experience as Delaware's chief deputy attorney general to the events of November 1963 in Dallas. Drawing on over fifty homicide cases from his prosecutorial career and his work as a defense attorney, Brandt examines the deaths of President Kennedy, Officer Tippit, and Lee Harvey Oswald. He incorporates testimony from eyewitnesses Earlene Roberts and Victor Robertson to build his case. Brandt traces the murders back to the failed 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion, arguing this event set the deadly chain in motion. He identifies the Mafia's role in authorizing the killings and exposes the motives of officials like Chief Justice Earl Warren who worked to hide the truth from the American public.
