Five top JFK assassination books

At The Daily Beast, Allen Barra shared his list of the only five books written about JFK’s death that count. One entry on the list:

Case Closed
by Gerald Posner

Conspiracy theorists have spent the last 19 years trying to nit-pick Case Closed, which was published on the 30th anniversary of Kennedy’s death, into insignificance. Whatever factual errors they may have found, the book nonetheless stands as the definitive debunker of Kennedy conspiracy theories.

If you still believe that Oswald didn’t act alone in killing JFK or that Jack Ruby didn’t act alone in killing Oswald, then you need to sit down quietly with Case Closed and hear Posner out.
