The Assassination of President John F Kennedy

12:30, Friday, 22 November 1963, Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas, USA

So much has been written and said about this historic event that it may seem inappropriate to believe it worth saying more. However, I have not yet found any single source which in my view answers all the questions, nor do they put forward a totally convincing account of what happened and why.

New generations today, those who cannot answer the question, "where were you when you heard of President Kennedy’s assassination?", need to be aware that the official version of events, which is now immortalized in so many historical works, is full of inaccuracies and obfuscations.

Having read much of what has been said, and watched so many films and TV programmes and listened to so much said by those who have made it their life’s ambition to study the event, I have reached my own conclusions which seem to me to be sufficiently straightforward to be readily acceptable.

In this account I have looked at all the issues as I have seen them, given my personal perspective on the events and my account of what I really believe happened in Dealey Plaza on that day. I have not religiously tabulated my sources, nor have I given detailed explanation of the evidence I have relied on or discounted. The reader can draw their own conclusions of the validity of this piece and, although have no doubt there will be irrefutable evidence to disprove some aspect of it at least, I do know that much of it fits the available evidence well and does so without requiring a ridiculous stretch of the imagination.
