Just finished the book John F. Kennedy Handbook by Gareth Jenkins...."a political economist and leading expert on Cuba".
Although the book itself was relatively short, and had way too many pictures for my liking, in my opinion, it was a pretty decent book on the "Great" Jack Kennedy. It detailed pretty well Joe Sr's. links with the Mafia and Hitler and it laid bare all the "liberal myths" about the fiercely anti-communist, anti-civil rights and all out Imperialist prick Jack Kennedy.
It also had three interesting interviews....interviewed were Noam Chomsky, Ambassador Carlos Lechuga and General Fabian Escalante. Escalante's interview is probably the most noteworthy; he discusses the information Cuban Intelligence has on the assassination. Though, personally, the idea of a CIA--Mafia--Cuban Exile plot seems a bit far fetched in my opinion. As Chomsky points out, nothing changed afterwards, politically that is, do it hardly represented a "coup" of any kind.
Indeed, in my opinion, the Mafia bosses that helped Kennedy steal the Chicago election were, if anyone was behind it, the culprits.
Other than that, the political analysis of Kennedy, as I said, is pretty decent and if you ever come across the book, it's worth reading....tough at £14.99, probably not worth buying. <_<
