Political strategist Roger Stone presents his case that Lyndon Baines Johnson masterminded the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Stone argues that Johnson faced political destruction in 1963 due to his overwhelming ambition and greed. Rather than accept an untimely political demise, Johnson allegedly mobilized his Texas connections, underworld contacts, and government allies to eliminate Kennedy and secure the presidency for himself. Stone draws on documents and his personal experience in politics to build his argument about the events of November 22, 1963. Published on the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination, the book offers Stone's theory about how America's thirty-sixth president orchestrated the murder of his predecessor. Stone positions himself as uniquely qualified to expose this conspiracy, having witnessed the political landscape of the era firsthand. The book promises to reveal both the methods and motives behind what Stone claims was Johnson's calculated grab for power.
