Review by Library Journal Review

Having spent time in professional wrestling, acting, and politics, Ventura (coauthor, 63 Documents the Government Doesn't Want You To Read) has now turned to conspiracies. He is the host of truTV's Consipracy Theory with Jesse Ventura. For this book, coauthored with David Wayne (coauthor with Richard Belzer, Hit List: An In-Depth Investigation into the Mysterious Deaths of Witnesses to the JFK Assassination) and Dick Russell (On the Trail of the JFK Assassins), Ventura focuses on what is arguably the most obsessed-over historical event in U.S. history. It should come as no surprise that Ventura rejects entirely the findings of the Warren Commission. Picking apart everything from the type of gun Lee Harvey Oswald actually used to the silencing of numerous witnesses, Ventura cannot seem to find anything worth believing from the official account of the event or subsequent studies. His "reasons" are divided among "The Evidence," The Cover-Up," "The Witnesses," and "The Why, Who and How" -with dozens of magazine articles, websites, and other JFK conspiracy titles cited. Ventura writes in a bombastic voice that grates before long. Evidently Russell and Wayne did little to clean up his turgid style. VERDICT Despite the short entries for each "reason," it will be a challenge for all but hard-core JFK conspiracy readers to get through this volume. However, as there are many such readers, as well as fans of Ventura, public libraries should have it on hand.-Brett Rohlwing, Milwaukee P.L. (c) Copyright 2013.
