Mortal Error: The Shot That Killed JFK

In 1967, a Baltimore man named Howard Donahue began investigating the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Like countless Americans, Donahue was fascinated by the events in Dallas. But what separated him from other amateur sleuths-and even the Warren Commission's experts- was a lifetime's experience with guns and ballistics.In Mortal Error, Bonar Menninger chronicles Donahue's twenty-five-year investigation of President Kennedy's death, and the stunning revelation his work produced. In crisp, rapid-fire prose, Menninger relates one of the greatest true-life detective stories ever told. More importantly, he offers solutions to questions that have haunted America for more than 50 years.Complete with 15 forensic diagrams, photos and illustrations-including images from the crime scene and the president's autopsy-this thoroughly researched exposé delves deeply into every angle of the Kennedy assassina- tion. It examines the infamously controversial Warren Report, various the- ories surrounding the shooting, and previously undisclosed forensic and ballistic clues to build a case for the clearest, most plausible explanation yet about the events of that historic day in Dallas.
