About this title

Review:

Marrs attempts to bring together the gist of all [the assassination] material into one thorough source book .... He neatly capsulizes the plethora of theories offered by critics of the lone-gunman theory.... "Crossfire" is compelling, albeit macabre, reading.
"The Washington Post"
Marrs re-examines issues never satisfactorily resolved by the official inquiries.... "Crossfire" raises profound and deeply troubling questions.
"Cleveland Plain Dealer"
The big daddy of the conspiracy books on the JFK assassination, and one that can t be taken lightly. A sheer tour de force that may be the final word until 2039when government files on the case can be unlocked.
"Kirkus Reviews"
The huge mass of evidence Marrs presents to support his theory is irresistibly intriguing.
"Booklist"
Dallas journalist Marrs brings together, under one cover, diverse theories and factsHe points to the inconsistencies and unexplained elements embodied in the official version as to what transpired before, during, and after the President s death.
"Library Journal"
For its comprehensiveness alone, this would be the one book for anyone seeking a really thorough examination of the assassination.... Marrs is sensible and straightforward, giving every side of disputed questions, though it is clear that for him, as for most thoughtful people, the Warren Commission s picture of Oswald as a lone assassin doesn t work.
