Editorial reviews

One of the greatest mysteries in American history is that surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. It has spawned countless books, movies, and has generally occupied our collective conscious for the past five decades. Now, approximately 50 years after that fateful day, best-selling authors Jesse Ventura and Dick Russell have produced an engaging and enthralling look at the conspiracies and the truth behind just what led to the murder of JFK. Performed with a chiseled authority by veteran Jason Culp, They Killed Our President is a shocking take on one of the most tragic days in American politics.

Publisher's summary

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 50 years, you're aware of the many hypotheses that the assassination of President John F. Kennedy was not done by one man. Whether you've listened to one or a dozen of the audiobooks on this topic, there's no way to fully grasp the depth of this conspiracy.

For the first time ever, New York Times best-selling authors Jesse Ventura and Dick Russell have teamed up with some of the most respected and influential assassination researchers to put together the ultimate compendium that covers every angle - from the plot to the murder - of JFK. They Killed Our President will not only discuss the most famous of theories, but will also bring to light new and recently discovered information, which together shows that the United States government not only was behind this egregious plot, but took every step to make sure that the truth would not come out.

With 2013 marking the fiftieth anniversary of JFK's assassination, this is the perfect time for They Killed Our President to be available to listeners. The research and information in this audiobook are unprecedented, and there's nobody better to bring this to everyone's attention than the former governor of Minnesota and US Navy SEAL, Jesse Ventura.

Not conspiracy theory ... Conspiracy FACTS

If you could sum up They Killed Our President in three words, what would they be?

If you ever had any doubts, listen to how many inconsistencies, misquotes, and out right lies are exposed here. I thought I had heard it all, but I wasn't even close - don't miss listening to this book. It is important that we see how our views have been manipulated over the years. It is scary to know how many people have lost their lives over the secrets of the JFK assassination conspiracy too.

Any additional comments?

For listening purposes it was not fun to hear website references frequently mentioned - but many times I did look at the backup and the visual information was valuable in seeing first-hand what was being explained. But be prepared, it is easy to spend additional hours listening to auxiliary interviews and watching compelling videos.

Tedious

Is there anything you would change about this book?

While there is a lot of interesting information, the reader was compelled to actually spell out every character and letter of each web address and youtube address referenced in this book, and there are many references to online material in this book. This takes a LOT of time waiting for each address to be spelled out before the reading continues. People are smart enough today to use search engines to find even the most vague reference.

Truth has been out there, this consolidates the tr

Would you listen to They Killed Our President again? Why?

Of course I would. The JFK assassination conspiracy fascinates me for many reasons. One of the main ones is the absolute sheepish actions of the American people when the inconsistencies in reporting happened.

I believe that all records should be unsealed and made freely accessible by the public. And those who were in on hiding the TRUE assassins (and setting Oswald up as a patsy) should be brought to justice.

The info in here is pretty irrefutable, and I would love to see Bill O'Reilly accept Jesse's challenge to debate, but we know that wont happen :)

If you are an old hat JFK conspiracy buff, or new to it, I highly suggest tis read.

What was one of the most memorable moments of They Killed Our President?

It opens up "swinging"

Have you listened to any of Jason Culp’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

no.. .but he does well enough in this one.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I would have, had I not been involved off and on in the JFK conspiracy research for 20 years.

Any additional comments?

Buy this book, open your eyes, and continue digging.

Its like taking the pill in the matrix and realizing you are in a tank harvesting your life force.

And you desperately want to turn that institution on its head, because youve been duped all your life.

Honestly my first audiobook, but I'm a big fan of the JFK conspiracies and of Jesse Ventura

What other book might you compare They Killed Our President to and why?

Nothing to compare

Have you listened to any of Jason Culp’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Made me very sad that a nation, world and worst of all the family has never gotten the truth about the assassination of one of the greatest presidents in history.

Any additional comments?

not worth the effort it took to download it

this is a very weak effort at piling on for the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination. far too often will you hear the phrase: "a possible connection between XYZ and the military industrial complex". again, not worth the effort it took for me to download this book, would have rated it a zero, but i thought someone would think i just skipped that step.

5 STARS - Only given 1 star allowed to select!

Loved this book! 5 stars from me! This is something I've been following since I could read. I think it's crap that only 1 star is offered for a review.

Must Read!

Really tired of hearing term “conspiracy theory.”

There is so much stuff in this book that causes the reader to think critically and ask themselves about how bungled the crime of the century was. You would have to be a rock to not see that something is fishy about the entire event. And, add to this is the unexplained reason that the files are still covered up is preposterous... if it was such a open/closed “Oswald did it” case.

I have little faith in anything official.
