Reply #140: I'm in the middle of reading LBJ: Mastermind of JFK's Assassination

[Zen Democrat]

It was written by Phillip F. Nelson, and it is mind-blowing. LBJ didn't act alone, but he acted in self-interest with other self-interested individuals and entities. I downloaded in on Kindle and I can't stop reading. It's the story of all time.

And, just for the record, please note that MLK and RFK were killed during the LBJ years. Johnson got JFK's civil rights legislation through to cover his own ass. He initiated the Great Society to cover the war in Vietnam. It was the price he paid to the CIA for their "assistance."

Johnson himself was a megalomaniac who had multiple people killed on his rise to power. Including his own sister. I'm eagerly awaiting Caro's final volume on LBJ, but I've often thought it is complete and Caro won't have it published until after his death. These tapes may change that ... I hope.
