Phantom Shot

For the past 50 years, the JFK assassination has been shrouded in mystery.

For the past 50 years, the JFK assassination has been shrouded in mystery. Various individuals and groups have been blamed, including the CIA, the Secret Service, the Russians, Fidel Castro, anti-Castro Cubans, the mob, right-wing extremists, and Lyndon Johnson. The true facts have been buried beneath layers and layers of distortions and disinformation. The solution, though, has always been right under our noses, hidden in plain sight. The key lies in the number of shots fired. The two official U.S. government investigations came to different conclusions on this issue, and both got it wrong. In the fog of war, the press got it wrong too, beginning with the first bulletin sent out over the wires four minutes after the shooting. Within hours, a consensus groupthink emerged that did not reflect what really happened in Dallas. Nonstop press reporting of inaccurate information caused many witnesses to change their stories about what they really saw and heard that day. Phantom Shot analyzes the statements of key eyewitnesses, some of which were recorded only minutes after the shooting, before groupthink could affect what they said. Many of these witnesses were deliberately ignored by the government investigations. Their statements unravel the mystery of the assassination once and for all. Phantom Shot answers these questions and many more: How many shots were really fired? Was there a shot from the grassy knoll? Was Oswald the sole assassin? Was he part of a conspiracy? Did the mob send Jack Ruby to silence him? Did the FBI know the solution to the assassination in 1964 and cover it up? Why did the Warren Commission ignore many of the key eyewitnesses?
