Blood, Money, & Power: How LBJ Killed JFK

For those who have studied the tragedy in Dealy Plaza on 11/22/63 there will be critical analysis...McClellan has not spent his life reading up on every little detail of "who killed JFK", but, none the less, this book is must reading. McClellan is to be highly commended on getting this story out. This is probably the first-ever insider story from a source as high up as lawyers to LBJ. McClellan's writing is powerful, fast-paced and you will be inspired by his personal sacrifice and bravery! Ever wonder how a man as seemingly sleazy as LBJ made it so far?? Read this book and find out..stealing elections and having people killed...nothing mattered to this hell-bent-on- power crew. You won't be able to put this book down!And you will be angry, very, very angry, I hope.For those naive enough to believe that we actually live in some sort of a democracy, please read this most powerful tale and then demand a criminal investigation. In 1979, after 2 years of hearings by the House Select Committee On Assassinations, our government announced two important findings: That there was "probably a conspiracy", and that the Department of Justice needs to investigate. We are long overdue!!Buy it, read it and then write to the press, who have been most complicit in this lie for now 40 years. Write to your elected representatives. McClellan sacrificed a brilliant legal career for this case....now it's up to we the people. There can be no "justice" in America so long as this coverup continues. Don't depend on CBS etc. for any historical truth, read this book and then continue your study. The powers that be depend upon the ignorance of the American electorate.

I had this excellent and informative book prior to Hurricane Katrina but Katrina took if from me. It is written by LBJ's own personal attorney. Mr. Barr McClellan lives just down the beach from me. I just got this new copy and are beginning to read it again as I never got to the one that Katrina took from my book shelves. I am trying to reach Mr. McClellan to sign it for me. It came very fast and is in new condition. I left a message on his answering machine and he returned it the next day. He asked me if I liked it and of course I told him yes. Now it has been fully read, I am shocked in all the things LBJ was doing prior to becoming President, how artfully he hand picked the members of the Warren Commission to try to make us believe the magic bullet theory which is the very glue that holds the Warren Commission together. How quick he escalated the Vietnam War after JFK was taken care of first. Then by wars end, 58,000 U. S. Military troops died in those jungles.(Still no one but knows why we were there except LBJ and his billionaire cronies in Texas who made a ton of U. S. tax payer funds to keep that war going. All the Huey Helicopters were made in Texas. But that's just one clue. He made even more of his cronies wealthy from the blood he spilled over there. I was a field medic in the jungles and had marines escorting me to the wounded. We then brought them back to triage to evaluate if they had to go back to the States for their healing. Most did too. LBJ and his billionaire friends stood to loose billions if the war ended. JFK knew the Communist Chinese at the time was crossing the North Vietnam border which they bordered. No one can win a ground war with the Chinese as they have the biggest military in the world and has been the largest since I was born in 1947. As soon as JFK was out of the way LBJ had full reins to send hundreds of thousands of more troops into those jungles fresh from High School at the young age of 18. I was lucky as I did not wait to get drafted and joined the USAF. But I still got stuck pulling the wounded and dead back to triage. We would not leave our troops behind whether they were breathing or not. To this day there are still POWs not accounted for from that Godless war. It is the only war the U. S. fought and simply gave up and went home. They should have been bombed back to the stone age by our B-52 bombers of the USAF "Strategic Air Command" like SAC's Four Star General Curtis E Lemay said (it was the only way we could win.) Well he was right! I agreed with him completely then, but we were (like today) afraid of what the rest of the world would think of us. Who cares what the Chinese and Soviet Union thought at the time? LBJ did not run for a second term. He went home to his Texas Ranch where he completely lost his mind and had an in house Psychiatrist who heard much of what he knew he did to JFK and by what he did to this Nation by forcing the war on us. He died babbling about these things but the Dr. was sworn to secrecy. LBJ grew his hair down to his shoulders prior to his death and Lady Bird watched him suffer and die from loosing his mind. Just punishment as far as I am concerned.

I wrote a much more detailed review on Goodreads. But this book ties up a lot of loose ends about the involvement of LBJ in JFK's murder. I have read about 20 complete books on the subject, & this book is one of the best in the genre. I have researched JFK's murder since 1988, when I was 12 years old. I have technically read about 50 books on the subject along with extensive research on the subject for about 30 years, & this book is very close to what actually happened. The only issue that is lacking is his neglect of the issue of the CIA helping to frame Oswald. Other than that it is still a great book. A must read.

This is a fascinating book, which supports the conclusions i came to long ago, that Johnson had Kennedy killed. Im not an assassination expert, but have read several books and this is, in my mind the most complete and sensible story. Who had motive and means - Johnson.While not the best images, the fingerprint examples in the appendices show me that most fingerprint identification is highly subjective, and probably shouldn’t be used to convict people. It also shows the FBI is very lax, having essentially no standards for the number of points that need to be matched to call two prints a match.If your interested in the assassination, i highly recommend.

Found it hard to put down at night.

This is a major work on the assassination of President Kennedy; probably as direct from the horse's mouth as anything that can be available to us now. Barry McClellan was on the front line with Johnson and Clark from 1966 to 1971 working through the sea of corruption and the influence of LBJ in which so many sank. The personalities of both men are presented which, even though not providing proof of any kind in themselves, are substantial indication of the conspiracy that manifestly took place.The only reservation I have is the method of 'faction' that McClellan employs to describe what he thinks probably happened. Not actually in the case of Don Thomas' visit to LBJ, one month before the former president died, because there is no indication of what occurred and the imagined dialogue could well be near the truth. It is in the shooting from the sixth floor which has Oswald taking a shot from the window, in the company of Mac Wallace, which is doubtful. There are comparatively reliable witness claims from Book Depository secretary Carolyn Arnold, police officer Marion Baker with Book Depository superintendent Roy Truly and workers James Jarman and Harold Norman who stated that they encountered the alleged assassin on the first and second floors around the time of the shooting. Coupled with this is the statement of bystander, Arnold Rowland, who saw two men in the window neither of which matched the likeness of Oswald.McClellan seems to have disregarded this and it could equally have been that Oswald was duped into a false attempt to protect the president and the first thing he knew of the assassination plan was when the shots rang out. At that moment he realised he was the patsy and took off. What is also disregarded is the opinion of Dr.Crenshaw, and others, at Parkland hospital that Kennedy's throat wound was an entry wound from the front.Even so the remarkable machinations come through, although with rather more underlining than is necessary. What is also evident is the integrity of Barr McClellan. We can only hope that his plea at the end for everything remaining to be released for scrutiny will eventually happen.

ＪＦＫ暗殺４０周年となる今年、数多くのＪＦＫ関連本が出版されました。それだけＪＦＫが米国民にまだ愛され続け、そして、、、２０３９年までの関連資料封印で暗殺をとりまく「陰謀」の真相究明ができないことへの不満が未だＪＦＫを過去の人にすることを許しません。本書はそれらＪＦＫ本の中でも話題性、ジャーナリスティック性からいって「白眉」でしょう。サブタイトルでわかるようにＪＦＫの後を継いだＬ．Ｂ．ジョンソン大統領がＪＦＫ暗殺に関与していた、というアンダーではずっと言われ続けてきた話をＬＢＪの顧問弁護士事務所にいたトップインサイダーの著者が、著者が直接間接に見聞した事実を基に詳述・論証したもの。あまりの内容に正直読んでいくと驚きます。オリバー・ストーン監督のあの映画「ＪＦＫ」のラスト、法廷シーンでギャリソン判事が政府やＬＢＪの暗殺関与を声高に主張するのを観た当時「いくら映画でもそこまで言うか」と当時思ったものですがこれでは映画の世界そのまんまではないですか。じっくりじっくり読んでおきたい本。大おすすめです。

Arrived fast and in good condition.

this is a well written and explosive book that lays bare LBJ's central part in the Kennedy assassination.Having readthe book the whole scheme makes sense as once Kennedy was gone LBJ as President could call upon all agenciesto assist in the cover up/whitewash/frame up.Having achieved his life's goal of being President what better than beinga War President! 58,000 US dead 3.8 MILLION VIETNAMESE oh and 220 Billion dollars for the Industrial/military complexto blow!
