Destiny Betrayed ─ JFK, Cuba, and the Garrison Case

If you enjoyed the chillingreading of In Cold Blood and were at the edge of your seat whilewatching Oliver Stone’s JFK, you’ll love this investigative look into allthe facets of one of the top conspiracies of the twentieth century and beyond.DiEugenio, who has spent decades researching the Kennedy assassination, takesboth an analytical and conversational approach to his fascinating exploration ofthe pivotal historical events and scandals surrounding that day.

Twenty years after the firstedition of Destiny Betrayed, DiEugenio is back with his ever-expandinginvestigation into the life and death of JFK. But this is no simple reissue. Itis a greatly revised and expanded version of the original book, includingupdates on all the topics it introduced back in 1992. DiEugenio has used thedeclassification process of the Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB) toobtain the most current information on topics like the Garrison investigationand Clay Shaw; the newly exposed fallacies of the Warren Commission; U.S.-Cubanpolicy from 1957 to 1963; Kennedy's withdrawal plan from Vietnam; Kennedy'schallenge to the Cold War consensus in 1961, and where those ideas originated;the ARRB medical inquiry demonstrating conspiracy and cover up; and theproblems with the investigation of the Kennedy case. DiEugenio’s primary focusis on the Garrison inquiry, the New Orleans aspects of the Kennedy murderinvestigation, and the revelatory new information that bolsters Garrison’s caseand has been withheld from the public.

All of this and more iscontained in the narrative of this complex crime, with twin focuses on thevictim, John F. Kennedy, and the investigator, Jim Garrison.
