Dr. Mantik states: “It is unique for me to write a second review, but too much remained unsaid after the first review. Wagner’s book clearly required more attention, especially since his profound mistakes are so often duplicated by the unenlightened mainstream media.”
(Wagner’s response to the first review is here)

Michael Le Flem reviews a book about reporting on the JFK case by a reporter. The book starts out quite strong and rigorous, but about halfway through it goes off the rails. But the first part is worth reading.
- Jefferson Morley, The Ghost: The Secret Life of CIA Spymaster James Jesus Angleton Written by James DiEugenioWritten on Thursday, 29 March 2018 20:29 Read more...
The strength of the book lies in the tracing of the Oswald files through the CIA under Angleton’s dominion. No book on Angleton has done this before. And that is certainly a commendable achievement. Hopefully, this will become a staple of future Angleton scholarship, writes Jim DiEugenio.

- John R. Bohrer, The Revolution of Robert Kennedy Written by James DiEugenioWritten on Saturday, 02 December 2017 17:17 Read more...
The best volume on Robert Kennedy I have read since Arthur Schlesinger’s two volume set in 1978. If you want to know about Bobby Kennedy’s life, the Schlesinger book is your choice. But if you want to know who RFK was in his last years, this is the book to read. No politician I know of ever did or said these kinds of things at home and abroad, writes Jim DiEugenio.

- Robert F. Kennedy Jr., American Values: Lessons I Learned from My Family Written by Edward CurtinWritten on Monday, 11 June 2018 21:04 Read more...
As reviewer Edward Curtin opines: when a truthful, beautifully written and moving book published by a major house is shunned by mainstream book reviewers, one can fairly well guess the book has touched a sore spot which the corporate media would prefer not to expose to the public. So it is with this courageous memoir by RFK's son and namesake.
