Book Reviews of On the Trail of the JFK Assassins: A Groundbreaking Look at America's Most Infamous Conspiracy
Book Review: A Walk on the Dark Side
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is both much better written than most assassination books, and more credible. Russell writes almost exclusively about what he knows or has been told by primary sources. He reports much more than he speculates.
As a consequence, I'm not sure if people looking for a smoking gun or proof-positive there was a conspiracy will be satisfied by Russell's reporting. Still, anyone reading the book should come out amazed at the number of strange characters and weird leads. The book would make a great mini-series, IMO.
Although I've never subscribed to the "single-assassin theorists are all cognitively-challenged" argument, I will venture that anyone reading this book and still feeling absolutely sure Oswald acted alone is lacking curiosity, and lacking understanding of their own lack of understanding.
As per the bard, speaking through Hamlet
"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
Dick Russell has showed us some of those things.
