Author James DiEugenio details the myriad problems with Bugliosi’s book, and explores the cooperation of the mainstream press in concealing many facts during the publicity campaign for the book and how this lack of scrutiny led Hanks and Goetzmancofounders of the production company Playtoneto purchase the film rights. DiEugenio then shows how the film adapted from that book, entitled Parkland, does not resemble Bugliosi’s book and examines why. This book reveals the connections between Washington and Hollywood, as well as the CIA influence in the film colony today.

Humor & Entertainment

Based on Oliver Stone's documentary, JFK Revisited, read the transcripts and interviews that will change the way you think about the John F. Kennedy assassination.\nJFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass contains the two working original screenplays for Oliver Stone’s JFK Revisited; both the two-hour version, Through the Looking Glass, and the four-hour version, Destiny Betrayed. These films are the first documentaries to feature the work of the Assassination Records Review Board.\nThe Assassination Records Review Board worked from 1994–98 releasing records that the government has classified in whole or in part on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. They ended up releasing about two million pages or approximately sixty thousand documents. They also pursued an investigation into the autopsy and medical evidence in the JFK case. Although their releases and discoveries were quite important to the evidentiary record, they received very little exposure in the mainstream media. They also released documents relating to Kennedy’s foreign policy in both Cuba and Vietnam. In the former case, these were plans by the Pentagon to create a pretext to invade Cuba. In the latter, documents proved Kennedy was implementing a withdrawal plan from Vietnam.\nThis book is unprecedented. It contains a compendium of information originating from the widest range of authorities on the JFK case ever assembled. This includes luminaries from several fields: pathology, surgery, ballistics, criminal investigation, neurology, history, and journalism. Never before have people like forensic pathologist Cyril Wecht, criminalist Henry Lee, Professor James Galbraith, author David Talbot, journalist Jefferson Morley, intelligence analyst John Newman, Professor Robert Rakove, and more appeared in one book; never have this many illustrious authorities been interviewed about their views on the policies and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The book also includes important witness interviews with Dr. Donald Miller about his colleague Malcolm Perry, Jim Gochenaur of the Church Committee, and Edwin McGehee of both the House Select Committee on Assassinations and the Jim Garrison investigation.\nThe combination of this newly released information plus expert interviews changed the database and calculus of the JFK case. The scripts are included in this book, which were the backbone for Oliver Stone's films. It also includes important excerpts from the many interviews which did not make it into the final cuts of the films. JFK Revisited will challenge everything you thought you know about the JFK assassination.

 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.

Author James DiEugenio details the myriad problems with Bugliosi’s book, and explores the cooperation of the mainstream press in concealing these many faults during the publicity campaign for the book and how this lack of scrutiny led Hanks and Goetzman to purchase the film rights. DiEugenio then shows how the film eventually adapted from that book, entitled Parkland, does not even resemble Reclaiming History, though the script for that film displays the same imbalance that Reclaiming History does. Reclaiming Parkland also includes extended looks at the little-known aspects of the lives and careers of Bugliosi, Hanks, and Goetzmanincluding Bugliosi’s three attempts at political office and a review of the Tate-LaBianca murders in the light of today’s knowledge of that case.

“Throughout the ‘90s, Lisa Pease and Jim DiEugenio covered the issues and reported on new developments in the JFK, MLK and RFK assassination cases in remarkable depth. Their book is a must-read to understand how these leaders were systematically eliminated. It is a unique volume in the literature on this subject.” — William Turner, former FBI agent and co-author of Deadly Secrets “Jim DiEugenio and Lisa Pease are archaeologists of our secret history. This volume of collected articles from Probe is a revelation to the uninitiated, a necessary witness for the rest of us, and a lasting testament to their research and courage over the years.” — Oliver Stone, director of JFK “Here is the Rite of Spring of assassination investigations. It launches huge masses of new detail, bends your mind in twelve different directions, swallows you whole, and spits you out into a steaming landscape where two different Lee Oswalds are inexorably making their way toward Dallas to change American history forever.” — Jon Rappoport, author, investigative reporter “Collaboratively compiled, organized and edited by James DiEugenio and Lisa Pease, The Assassinations is an extensive collection of articles drawn from Probe magazine concerning the murders of President John Kennedy, the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., Robert Kennedy and Malcolm X. A questing compendium of tantalizing truths, cover-ups, obvious and hidden motives, and the struggle to track trails and pin down culprits, The Assassinations is a fascinating, involving, informative and occasionally iconoclastic resource especially recommended to the attention of conspiracy buffs.” — Midwest Book Review “(T)he book is beautifully argued and boasts a phenomenal amount of brow furrowing facts and insight. The Assassinations is definitely one for those that can handle the truth.” — Dazed &amp; Confused “Thought-provoking… One of the most chilling books you’re likely to ever read.” — Pasadena Weekly “Probing deep into four hidden histories… the material released should dispel any notions of ‘lone nuts’ or coincidence not merely in the JFK assassination, but in the assassinations of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert Kennedy as well… These articles cut a clear path through the thick jungle of disinformation that has grown around these events and expose the truly hideous teratomas that thrive and bloom under the canopy of ‘national security’… Feral House is to be commended on their courage for publishing this book in these dark times.” — New York Press “Pours new fuel into the ongoing furor vis-a-vis snafus, cover-ups, conspiracies, and alternative endings to the most famous American assassination cases of the last 50 years.” — Anneli Rufus “Steering clear of potentially crackpot theories, the editors dedicate themselves to the presentation of facts that deconstruct and devastate such insulting documents as the Warren Report… Perhaps after reading The Assassinations, the American public will pressure Congress to initiate a full-scale investigation into the Bush administration’s complicity in the 9/11 assassinations and various other crimes. For now, readers’ understanding of the ‘cataclysmic homicide’ of JFK and other potential and actual revolutionaries will be inevitably deepened by this impressive work.” — Jaye Beldo, Rain Taxi People’s Pick: “Thought-provoking… one of the most chilling books you’re likely to ever read.” — LA Alternative Press “In the wake of the failures of the Warren Commission, we are fortunate that independent scholars like Jim DiEugenio and Lisa Pease have displayed a desire to pursue the truth in regards to the assassinations of President Kennedy and those that occurred thereafter. The American people will be well served by closely reading their work on these important events.” — Robert Tannenbaum, Deputy Counsel, House Select Committee on Assassinations and Assistant Chief of Homicide, New York District Attorney’s Office
