Synopses & Reviews
What really happened in Dallas on November 22, 1963? Was the assassination of John F. Kennedy simply the work of a warped, solitary young man, or was something more nefarious afoot? Pulling together a wealth of evidence, including rare photos, documents, and interviews, veteran Texas journalist Jim Marrs reveals the truth about that fateful day. Thoroughly revised and updated with the latest findings about the assassination, Crossfire is the most comprehensive, convincing explanation of how, why, and by whom our thirty-fifth president was killed.
Review
Marrs attempts to bring together the gist of all [the assassination] material into one thorough source book.... He neatly capsulizes the plethora of theories offered by critics of the lone-gunman theory....
Crossfire is compelling, albeit macabre, reading.”
The Washington Post
Marrs re-examines issues never satisfactorily resolved by the official inquiries.... Crossfire raises profound and deeply troubling questions.”
Cleveland Plain Dealer
The big daddy of the conspiracy books on the JFK assassination, and one that cant be taken lightly. A sheer tour de force that may be the final word until 2039when government files on the case can be unlocked.”
Kirkus Reviews
The huge mass of evidence Marrs presents to support his theory is irresistibly intriguing.”
Booklist
Dallas journalist Marrs brings together, under one cover, diverse theories and facts
He points to the inconsistencies and unexplained elements embodied in the official version as to what transpired before, during, and after the Presidents death.”
Library Journal
For its comprehensiveness alone, this would be the one book for anyone seeking a really thorough examination of the assassination.... Marrs is sensible and straightforward, giving every side of disputed questions, though it is clear that for him, as for most thoughtful people, the Warren Commissions picture of Oswald as a lone assassin doesnt work.”
