To claim that Reclaiming History was ”perhaps largely written by people at Langley” without presenting a shred of evidence, or even having read any of the book was a low blow to a man who can no longer defend his reputation from such a damning accusation. I have read the book, and discussed it briefly with Mr. Bugliosi on the phone a couple of years before he passed away. Why is it so long (to Aaron Good that’s laughable, which is strange coming from a Ph.D who presumably read some lengthy tomes in achieving his doctorate)?
Because it’s thorough, carefully cited, and annotated, and because Mr B. devotes a chapter at least to each of the decades-long efforts of the various JFK conspiracy purveyors ( he calls them theorists while debunking their assertions), many of whom make a living from their still-fruitless pursuits. But the main reason you need to do better on the JFK assassination is that there are enough well-documented, proven crimes by the CIA and it hurts progressive critques of the agency to try to shoe-horn in JFK- without real evidence (I know you want to argue that, but compared to the overwhelming evidence that Oswaldacted alone, and killed JFK and Officer Tippit, there’s nothing substantial that I’ve seen.)
