Kennedy's assassination. Offering a wholly new perspective—that JFK's death was not just an isolated case, but rather a symptom of hidden processes—Scott examines the deep politics of early 1960s American international and domestic policies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eScott offers a disturbing analysis of the events surrounding Kennedy's death, and of the \"structural defects\" within the American government that allowed such a crime to occur and to go unpunished. In nuanced readings of both previously examined and newly available materials, he finds ample reason to doubt the prevailing interpretations of the assassination. He questions the lone assassin theory and the investigations undertaken by the House Committee on Assassinations, and unearths new connections between Oswald, Ruby, and corporate and law enforcement forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRevisiting the controversy popularised in Oliver Stone's movie \u003ci\u003eJFK\u003c\/i\u003e, Scott probes the link between Kennedy's assassination and the escalation of the U.S. commitment in Vietnam that followed two days later. He contends that Kennedy's plans to withdraw troops from Vietnam—offensive to a powerful anti-Kennedy military and political coalition—were secretly annulled when Johnson came to power. The split between JFK and his Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the collaboration between Army Intelligence and the Dallas Police in 1963, are two of the several missing pieces Scott adds to the puzzle of who killed Kennedy and why.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eScott presses for a new investigation of the Kennedy assassination, not as an external conspiracy but as a power shift within the subterranean world of American politics. \u003ci\u003eDeep Politics and the Death of JFK\u003c\/i\u003e shatters our notions of one of the central events of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000589238508,"sku":"9780520205192","price":60.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/5272253482373.jpg?v=1763287551"},{"product_id":"the-road-to-911-by-peter-dale-scott-9780520258716","title":"The Road to 9\/11","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an ambitious, meticulous examination of how U.S. foreign policy since the 1960s has led to partial or total cover-ups of past domestic criminal acts, including, perhaps, the catastrophe of 9\/11. Peter Dale Scott, whose previous books have investigated CIA involvement in southeast Asia, the drug wars, and the Kennedy assassination, here probes how the policies of presidents since Nixon have augmented the tangled bases for the 2001 terrorist attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eScott shows how America's expansion into the world since World War II has led to momentous secret decision making at high levels. He demonstrates how these decisions by small cliques are responsive to the agendas of private wealth at the expense of the public, of the democratic state, and of civil society. He shows how, in implementing these agendas, U.S. intelligence agencies have become involved with terrorist groups they once backed and helped create, including al Qaeda.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47600226828524,"sku":"9780520258716","price":50.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/ce54f79f8e4f9c77ee43f96f71699b34.jpg?v=1778020813"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/peter-dale-scott.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
