Book Reviews of Plausible Denial: Was the CIA Involved in the Assassination of JFK?

Book Review: An Important Story Written by one of its Central Characters.
Summary: 5 Stars

The book is based around the little known libel trial in which E. Howard Hunt sought damages from Liberty Lobby as a result of an article published in one of their magazines by Victor Marchetti - author of The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence. Lane - himself a lawyer - represented Liberty Lobby in that case in which the jury found that Howard Hunt was not entitled to damages because the substance of the article - that Hunt was involved in the assassination - was true.

Indeed the evidence provided through depositions of former directors of the CIA, Hunt himself and the star witness Marita Lorenz, does convince the reader that Hunt was indeed involved in the assassination in some form. Lorenz had been Castro's girlfriend until she was recruited by the CIA. She became a CIA agent and claims that she was taken to Dallas by Hunt and Frank Sturgis for the purpose of assassinating JFK.

The trial is hugely significant in historical terms as it is the only time in which a jury has found that any individual has been invovled in the assassination of JFK. This book, written by one of the central characters of the assassination story should be read by any serious student of the assassination.
