The JFK Assassination Dissected cover

Since President John F. Kennedy's 1963 murder in Dallas, medical examiner and lawyer Dr. Cyril Wecht was initially inclined to accept the official theory that one person alone was responsible for the crime. But as Wecht delved into the evidence with boundless curiosity and unprecedented access, he came to understand that America had, instead, suffered a coup d'etat at the hands of rogue elements within our own government.

Nobody else has Wecht's up-close and personal experience in uncovering the facts behind this assassination—and now he is sharing it with the world. Co-authored by investigative journalist Dawna Kaufmann, this comprehensive book reveals Wecht's analyses of the case's forensic and medical evidence. With his keen eye and sharp tongue, Wecht wields his scalpel on JFK's dubious autopsy report, the inept Warren Commission Report, the mishandling of crucial materials, all of the key players, and the media malpractice that has allowed the truth to remain hidden for nearly six decades.

“The murder of President Kennedy remains unsolved over 58 years later. For those of us who continue to seek the truth, Dr. Wecht is our beacon and his latest book deserves your time and consideration.”–Alec Baldwin
“Cyril Wecht and I bonded over our work on the JFK assassination, and later the RFK murder. This book proves how Cyril has never stopped fighting for justice.”—Thomas T. Noguchi, M.D.
“When it comes to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, few people have a better understanding of the medical evidence than my friend, famed forensic pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht. This book by Wecht and his co-author Dawna Kaufmann illustrates his passion and inspiring perseverance in finding answers to one of history’s most enduring tragedies.”—Geraldo Rivera
“I have the greatest respect for Cyril Wecht. He’s been on the front lines of uncovering the truth of the greatest murder mystery in American history. His exposure of the Warren Commission’s tortured single bullet absurdity, proves definitively that President John F. Kennedy’s assassination was the result of a conspiracy.”—Rob Reiner
