JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters Free Audiobook Download by James W. Douglass
JFK was shot at a time when he had decided to refuse the military-industrial complex and the men who were feeding the CIA's House Committee on Un-American Activities. He was one of those rare people who understood the implications of his actions, and made a decision that would cost him his life.
"This is a book about the power of words, of language, and how it can be used to mislead, to promote hate and fear, or even to pave the way for peace," says author James W. Douglass. "It is also a story about the tenor of our times and how the assassination of President Kennedy has become emblematic-a paradigm-of everything that many Americans believe is wrong with our society."
JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters is a book written by James W. Douglass about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The book centers around the question of why he died, and what it means for America's future.
James W. Douglass created a PBS documentary on the JFK Assassination which is now the most watched and listened to documentary ever in the United States. After researching and writing this book, Douglass makes a compelling argument that John F. Kennedy was murdered by Lee Harvey Oswald with help from the CIA, FBI, New Orleans Police Department, Mafiosi, Cuban exiles and others as part of an American coup d'état with horrific historical consequences still playing out today.
JFK was one of the most fascinating and complex presidents in United States history. He was young, idealistic and charismatic. He had a lot to live for, but he died in Dallas on November 22nd 1963 at age 46 from an assassination attempt by Lee Harvey Oswald. What makes this event so astounding is that it changed the course of history. JFK not only was assassinated but also became a martyr for America and for the struggle of democracy around the world. This book looks at JFK's life and death through two lenses: why he died and how it has affected "the unspeakable".
JFK's assassination on November 22, 1963 is one of the most controversial events in American history. Many people believe that Kennedy was killed because he was pushing for equal rights for African Americans, women, and gays. There are fringe beliefs that it may have been a conspiracy by the CIA, FBI, or mafia. James Douglass sets out to prove those theories wrong with his book JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters.
