An Encounter with Evil

The Abraham Zapruder Story

De: Jacob Hornberger

Narrado por: Larry Wayne

This book is about evil, more specifically, one person’s chance encounter with evil, an encounter that ended up destroying the rest of his life. The dark secret involved in that encounter also resulted in a family taboo, one that lasted long after the person who had that encounter with evil had passed away.

That person was Abraham Zapruder, the man who filmed the famous “Zapruder film” that captured the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Through sheer happenstance, Zapruder’s life and the lives of his family were changed forever—for better and for worse—by his encounter with evil.

This book identifies and confronts the evil that destroyed the rest of Abraham Zapruder’s life and uncovers the dark secret that led to his family’s decades-long taboo against discussing his film. It also discusses what needs to be done to eradicate that evil, which is still among us. Our national well-being depends on it.

Integrity of Facts

It was helpful that the author cited references and links for additional data. Most of all I liked how he titled his work. It has taken most of our lifetimes to comprehend this degree of evil. May we take action to prosecute it and prevent it from happening through our grandchildren's lives.

Must read for JFK assassination interest

This book takes a look at Zapruder and his family and the odd things that went on with his home video of the assassination.

Honest and unbiased

our country needs a honest and thorough review of our national security history. great book

Ok rundown but repetitive and childish. Skip it.

A decent rundown of "the CIA killed JFK" perspective, specifically focusing on the Zapruder tape. The information was interesting enough, but the book is a bit unfocused and repetitive.

I picked up this book on the premise of wanting to know about the life of Zapruder and the consequences of the tape on his life. Instead, this is chiefly an explanation of arguments of why the Zapruder tape was faked. This book appears to be mostly a response to the "26 Seconds" book that Zapruder's granddaughter released, in which the author contests various her claims about the tape. That's fine but not really what the title and description sells. The title is misleading: this is an argument for the Zapruder tape being altered, not really specifically about an "Encounter with Evil" Zapruder had. When the author incessently rederences Zapruder's "encounter with evil", what he means is that Zapruder ended up knowingly and falsly verifying the faked tape because he was scared of the CIA. No duh, not really enough to predicate the entire thesis of your book on. I was expecting more from the perspective of Zapruder and the effect the tape had on his life. Instead, this is about the tape itself, and less about the consequences for Zapruder.

I also found the author childish and unlikable. He keeps making weird assertions that Zapruder's granddaughter "knows that the tape was faked, but her subconscious won't let her accept it" and "she is psychologically running from the evil she knows is there." Huh? Just say she is wrong, why are we conjruing up these cringey and vapid fanfictions about her intentions? The author will also indulge in assinine virtue signaling with lines like "Did you know that the CIA hired defated nazi scientists after WWII to fight the Soviet Union?!? I would have disbanded the CIA then and there!!" and "The fact that the USA didn't want nukes in Cuba, but at the same time positioned nukes in Turkey, is hypocritical and thus pure evil!". This guy espouses some really dumb preteen-level ethics which, to me personally, casts doubt on the objectiveness of his perspective.
