Product Description:
John F. Kennedy's assassination launched a frantic search to find his killers. It also launched a flurry of covert actions by Lyndon Johnson, Robert F. Kennedy, and other top officials to hide the fact that in November 1963 the United States was on the brink of invading Cuba, as part of a JFK-authorized coup. The coup plan's exposure could have led to a nuclear confrontation with Russia, but the cover-up prevented a full investigation into Kennedy's assassination, a legacy of secrecy that would impact American politics and foreign policy for the next 45 years. It also allowed two men who confessed their roles in JFK's murder to be involved in the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, in 1968. Exclusive interviews and newly declassified files from the National Archives document in chilling detail how three mob bosses were able to prevent the truth from coming to light – until now.

It was the book that my mother had been looking for. The only down side is that the print is extremely small. I had to buy her a sheet to magnify the paper to make it easier for her to read.

The box came and I tore it open. Wow! Two copies of Legacy of Secrecy (one of which I'd probably ordered in a drunken state) and one copy of Ultimate Sacrifice (which I dimly remembered ordering). I immediately gifted my sister and brother-in-law with one of the LOS books, but then realized that mine was 922 pages long. OMG! This was not large text for the legally blind; this was 8-9 pt Times Roman, or a comparative type style. Holy! Holy! Holy!
"I can't do this," I told myself. "I'm a one ... Read More

Some of the ideas proposed in this book are very interesting and do paint a picture that something was going on behind JFK's back. This book is quite the read and may be boring or seem to never end for some readers. The habitual acronym use may confuse people. If you're a hardcore fan of politics or conspiracy, this is the read for you.

The best book i have read on the Kennedy assasination. Legacy is thorough and rivoting for a Kennedy asassination buff.
