Treason from Within

The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy

By: Donald T Phillips

Narrated by: Donald T Phillips

The First Comprehensive Treatment of the Kennedy Assassination.

The US government lied to the American people about President Kennedy's death. But, ironically it was the American people who solved the crime. Over the past half century, hundreds of researchers investigated one or more parts of the murder, often using their own expertise, such as photography, computers, science, medical expertise, and analytical skills. Taken together, their detailed work illuminated what really happened.

Author Donald T. Phillips has been following the Kennedy assassination since it happened. This book begins at the end of World War II and concludes when the Warren Commission was formed. Revealed along the way is the truth about the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the ambush in Dealey Plaza, and JFK's fraudulent autopsy.

During his two years and eight months in office, President Kennedy prevented the US government from instigating a war that could have involved nuclear weapons in Vietnam, Laos, Berlin, the Soviet Union, and Cuba. He was leading the nation away from armed conflict, ending the Cold War, and setting the stage for a lasting peace with all nations. In doing so, however, JFK was threatening long-established kopek structures within the government. So on November 22, 1963, in broad daylight, they shot him in the back and blew his brains out. It was a pre-meditated, deliberate, willful act of murder with malice aforethought. And they got away with it. No one who participated in the crime was ever brought to justice. Treason From Within answers the questions: Who killed President Kennedy? Why was he killed? How was he killed?

Interesting

I enjoyed the book and the narrator but have to question most of his theories about the assassination. I kept asking myself whether this is just a fictional account or is he serious?

90%

I felt that he took a lot of liberties. I still believe that Jean Souetre gave the final blow. I don’t believe in the two Oswald’s, but I do believe in the Oswald doubles. Other than that, I would say that 90% of this is probably what actually happened. I’ll miss this book tonight

the months before the murder

I find it hard to believe any of it, but I liked it, it was well written and well told story.

Way too much unsupported speculation

I am a conspiracy believer, but this book goes overboard. While the author does have some factual information there is a lot of unsupported speculation. Then goes way overboard with the assertion that there were several tripods with cameras on them in Dealey Plaza! Why in the world would they purposely want to make one film of assassination much less several from different angles??? Wouldn’t people have witnessed all these cameras on tripods standing around and wonder why they are there? I much prefer books that can actually support theories like Accessories after the Fact.

Take with HUGE Grains of Salt

I read a lot of books about JFK, so I'm familiar with most of the theories, even the fringe ones. This isn't the most "out there" book, but I really want to see this author cite his sources because it reads like assassination fanfiction. Maybe the physical book has citations, but I can only go on the audiobook right now, and most of the author's claims are completely unsourced within the text for the first six hours. I decided to quit after that to save myself from shouting, "source???" every ten minutes.

Additionally, the narrator has a few glaring issues with pronouncing the host of foreign names involved in the assassination. I know there are a lot of difficult names, and the average person isn't going to be spectacular at saying them, But it still grates on my nerves. Just a pet peeve of mine.
