About this ebook

• Thrilling and informative guide to the life and death of JFK
• Ideal for fans of In Cold Blood and Oliver Stone’s JFK
• Revised and expanded version of DiEugenio’s original book 

Twenty years ago, before the ages of Obama and Trump, James DiEugenio wrote the first edition of Destiny Betrayed. In this second edition of Destiny Betrayed, he returns to familiar topics and introduces new information. What was the truth, and what were the lies? What were the inside politics of Kennedy’s America? This book is an investigative look at these questions and more. The author focuses equally on Kennedy and Garrison, providing a unique insight into the Garrison inquiry. 

DiEugenio updates all of the topics that he introduced in 1992 with the first edition of Destiny Betrayed. He has used the declassification process of the Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB) to gain the most current and accurate information on subjects including Clay Shaw and the Garrison investigation; US-Cuban policy from 1957 to 1963; the newly exposed mistaken beliefs of the Warren Commission; Kennedy’s challenge to the Cold War consensus in 1961 and where he came up with that challenge; and more. The author primarily emphasizes the New Orleans aspects of the Kennedy murder investigation, the Garrison inquiry, and the new and secret data that strengthens Garrison’s case.

Ratings and reviews

A book that gives enough for you to make your own conclusions, albeit that its obvious who and more impotantly why JFK was assassinated. This book could only be improved by a diagram showing the links between so many of the key figures who appear to be part of the overall scheme played out in 1963
