Summary: Don't Waste the Money
Comment: I cannot believe that Mr. Posner found someone to publish this horrid excuse for a book. I'm not sure which is worse, his writing or his research. Thank God this man doesn't write history text books. If you don't care about details, truth, or facts, this book is perfect. It's only getting one star because there is no negative star choice.

Summary: calm down
Comment: I find the negative reviews listed here quite amusing. Sure, you can diss Posner all you want but none of you list any hardcore facts that work against Posner's claim. For those interested, go look at the Conspiracy web pages. Look at how they make personal attacks on Posner but avoid a substantive attack on his work. For the record, his work is fabulous. As for the Harold Weisberg comment, go ahead and read his Case Open. Any level headed individual will realize that Weisberg's work takes Posner's work out of context and can be understood with a little research (Yes, I've done it, and Posner is all in all quite correct). I'm sorrry if Posner busted all of your little conpsiracy bubbles, I know it was exciting to believe that the President couldn't possibly be killed by a lone nut!! Too bad. Posner's book is powerful and very effective, and certainly better than anything Lane, Weisberg, Josiah Thompson, or certainly the LaFontaine's could produce. Please, read this book. It's absolutely great. If your logic is based on speculation and personal attacks, you might be offended. If you want hard core facts that prove the single bullet theory (with nitrate tests and advanced optical blowups of the Zapruder film), read this book. If you're concerned of Lee Harvey Oswald's actions with any mysterious government plots, take a look at the obvious sociopathic behavior and make the smart decision. Look at his past and look at the credibility of the so many who have claimed to have seen him being involved with the mystery men (Ferrie, Banister, CIA, KGB). Give me a break, use your heads for this one. Conspiracy babies, bow down before Posner 'cause the roosters come home to fry you! END

Summary: Sorry, conspiracy junkies: It really *was* Oswald.
Comment: Legends arise from the deaths of public figures too big to be the victims of casual violence or senseless accidents, and so it is with the assassination of John Kennedy. A man larger than life, personifying power and leadership, was too "big" a president to merely have been killed at the hands of a lone, disturbed gunman.
From that legend have arisen countless conspiracy theories, each gravitating toward the hope that an explanation as grand as the man will emerge that balms our conscience over his premature demise. In "Case Closed," Gerald Posner takes those conspiracy theories and, point by point, dismembers them.
For a society itching to hear ratification of the conspiratorial plots, Posner's book will be an irritating read because of its depth of fact, not predisposed conclusions based on conjecture. Those most willing to dismiss it are likely those to have long ago opted to embrace the glory of conspiracy rather than the dry reality of fact.
Posner's book is a masterpiece of fact, research, and study. It draws logical, not emotional, conclusions, and ends with a simple assertion: Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK. Period.
