Specifically dealing with the assasanation and also conspiracies. I am not a fiction fan and need some good non fiction to read while I am waiting on Theodore Rex to arrive that I ordered.

As one of the six people in America who does not believe there was a conspiracy, I would recommend Case Closed by Gerald Posner.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check into it.

My daughter is 12, an avid reader, and just this week became interested in the JFK assassination, Oswald, and the related conspiracies. She wants to learn more (and more than a little miffed that it doesn't get talked about in school) but she was a little put off by some of the larger, drier tomes that I have lying around the house that go into great laborious detail.

I gave her an overview of events, but I'm wondering if their is a book out there that covers the info in a more succinct manner...?

Assuming your daughter is an advanced reader (and it sounds like she is), I suggest Gerald Posner's "Case Closed":

FYI, there is an ABC special tonight about the assassination that your daughter might want to watch.

Groucho-
Thanks for the reminder!


And Spooky, ironically the Posner book is the one I suggested to her as, as well (even though I'm a conspiracy buff at heart)

Well, I just think that there are so many conspiracy books out there, one can't properly draw their own conclusions without reading Posner, which is a well-researched anti-consipracy book that manages to answer a lot of the questions conspiracy people raise.

And I can't wait for the ABC show tonight (9-11pm EST / 8-10pm CST).

Also, there was an excellent one hour show on CourtTV last night. Upcoming reairings (all times CST):

6pm 11/22
9pm 11/23
1am 11/24
3:30am 11/24
