Publisher's Summary

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 experts, was a lifetime's experience with guns and ballistics.

In Mortal Error, Bonar Menninger chronicles Donahue's 25-year investigation of President Kennedy's death and the stunning revelation it led him to. 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 50 years.

Solid

A solid theory that doesn't descend into murky conspiracy craziness. Maybe LHO wasnt acting alone and maybe there was more to it, this theory doesn't ask those questions. This theory concerns itself with why one shot (the "magic" bullet) went right through Kennedy and Connolly but the final (head) shot disintegrated completely. To me, this theory explains everything that happened that day and explains the secret services actions afterwards. It's not sexy, it's not full of stories of mob connections, Cubans and CIA/FBI secret agents. It's a simple explanation that many will find hard to swallow, the final shot that hit Kennedy in the head was an accident by one of his own bodyguards and they covered it up. This is the reason why so many people still suspect something, the conspiracy wasn't to murder Kennedy but to cover up the ineptitude of his own protection people.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
