| Why it’s on the list | Jim Marrs’s compendium of Kennedy-assassination conspiracy material, and one of the two books Oliver Stone used as the basis for JFK. Read as a primary source on the conspiracy literature rather than on the assassination: Marrs’s case is not accepted by historians, and its value is in showing how the genre assembles an argument. |
