Editorial reviews

Fifty years have passed since the assassination of John F. Kennedy, but the details of what happened on that fateful day are still highly debated. Here is Patrick Nolan's welcome addition to that debate, gathering the research of many forensic scientists and investigations to paint a vivid picture of the assassination of JFK as well as his brother, Senator Robert F. Kennedy. The argument presented is fascinating and points directly and unapologetically at the CIA. Stephen Bowlby gives a balanced narration of this work, going between a stark journalistic tone and forceful emphasis on the hard-hitting information.

Publisher's summary

The US Central Intelligence Agency is no stranger to conspiracy and allegations of corruption. Across the globe, violent coups have been orchestrated, high-profile targets kidnapped, and world leaders dispatched at the hands of CIA agents. During the 1960's, on domestic soil, the methods used to protect their interests and themselves, at the expense of the American people, were no less ruthless.

In CIA Rogues and the Killing of the Kennedys, Patrick Nolan fearlessly investigates the CIA’s involvement in the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Senator Robert F. Kennedy - why the brothers needed to die and how rogue intelligence agents orchestrated history’s most infamous conspiracy.

Nolan furthers the research of leading forensic scientists, historians, and scholars who agree that there remain serious unanswered questions regarding the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, fifty years ago, and Robert F. Kennedy in 1968. He revisits and refutes what is currently known about Lee Harvey Oswald and Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, and offers listeners a compelling profile of the CIA’s Richard Helms, an amoral master of clandestine operations with a chip on his shoulder.

Bolstered by a foreword by Dr. Henry C. Lee, one of the world’s foremost forensic authorities, CIA Rogues and the Killing of the Kennedys is an unmatched effort in forensic research and detective work. As the 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination approaches, Nolan has made a significant contribution to the literature on that fateful day in Dallas, as well as shed light on that dark night at the Ambassador Hotel. Listeners interested in conspiracy, the Kennedy family, or American history will find this audiobook invaluable.

Thirston Howell III's voice

The subject & detail offered in this book was concise and well written. The hardest part was listening to the narrator read it. At times, he sounded like the millionaire on Gilligan's Island... Good book otherwise.

Hangs the whole theory on MK Ultra

Presents compelling evidence about discrepancies between the known personalities and motives of LHO and SBS and what was later claimed about them by the official assassination accounts, but this author’s theory is heavily dependent on the CIA’s secret MK Ultra program to explain the events. If you find it far fetched that hypnosis control can explain the complicated series of events in both assassinations, this book is not very convincing. The author also loses credibility in the final chapter by presenting the case of an amateur photographer who claimed to have been in the pantry at the Ambassador Hotel during the assassination of RFK and claimed that his photos of the events were confiscated by law enforcement and never returned. This man, Scott Enyart, has since been thoroughly discredited and there’s no evidence that he actually witnessed let alone photographed RFK’s assassination. The author fails to mention the problems with Enyart’s story and this leaves me wondering what other one-aided anecdotes he misrepresented elsewhere in his text.

Fascinating

The information provided here is utterly fascinating and extremely interesting. The only drawback in listening to the audiobook is the narrator. His patrician accent, whereby every vowel at the end of a sentence or statement feels like it’s being vacuumed of the air he needs to be pronounce it, is very, very distracting.

sounds good, but

Alot of this makes sense 🤔 except, the logistics don't add up.I really don't see the CIA going through all the trouble to create a patsy and then the actual killers tell everyone they did it on the way out of the hotel. I did air force logistics, it took a lot of logistics to pull this off, and JFK, apparently went to Dallas in a reactionary function to pull the party together show did they know the 3 months in advance to put Oswalt there. there may be answers but this book , for me, creates questions.

Breath Taking Information

Although the book professes to only provide the facts it is written with a slant towards the conspiracy theory.
It is too bad that our own government covers up the truth and blocks any true investigations to prevent the truth from being exposed.
