The Men Who Killed Kennedy

Where were you when it happened? If someone asks that question now, we instinctively think of 9-11. There was a time, for many of us, when that question meant one thing... "Where were you when President Kennedy was killed?"

I was barely five years old and yet the memory of that day is burned in my mind. I remember everyone being glued to their television sets for the latest news. The nation seemed to breathe a sigh of releif when the lone gunman was captured... but did he act alone?

I've always been intrigued by the various conspiracy theories. In high school I read the Warren Commission report and followed the latest findings. There have been hundreds of books written on the subject, several movies, and many documentaries. "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" is one of the best summaries of the different theories that abound. Chock full of interviews, photos, film and speculation, even if you don't buy into any of it, you'll still be impressed by the sincerity of those that do.
