A long, fascinating but badly written book, to the extent that I was constantly on the point of abandoning it, but was always drawn back in by the story that is played out oh so laboriously but ultimately convincingly. JFK was killed not by Oswald but by the Mafia's gunmen, argues Waldron, because Bobby was out to destroy them, and if they had just killed Bobby then JFK would have appointed someone to carry on his work. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Cuba's number three official today -- Commander Juan Almeida -- was secretly working with JFK in November 1963 to overthrow Fidel. The U.S. government recently revealed Almeida's work for JFK, allowing the updated trade paperback of Ultimate Sacrifice to tell the full story for the first time (complete with new photos and documents). The authors obtained the story from almost two dozen associates of John and Robert Kennedy, starting in 1990 with JFK's Secretary of State Dean Rusk. Their accounts are supported by thousands of newly-released files at the National Archives. Almeida's "palace coup," set for December 1, 1963, was to be backed up by U.S. forces "invited" in by Commander Almeida, then Chief of the Cuban Army. However, three Mafia bosses being targeted by Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy used several CIA assets to infiltrate the secret plot and murder JFK. This resulted in cover-ups by officials like RFK and LBJ, to prevent the exposure of Almeida and a possiblenuclear confrontation with the Soviets. The new edition explains why Almeida was not a double agent, why Fidel suspected Almeida's ally Che Guevara, and what Fidel did in 1990 when he finally found out about Almeida's work for JFK.
