An Important Historical Document, at the Very Least

I, too, couldn't obtain a copy of this book within the United States for years... Finally, I was able to download [for several hours] a copy off the Internet a few years ago.Perhaps it's "dated", but that's what makes it all the more valuable a document historically.And indeed it is, as Bobby and Jackie secretly cooperated with the writing of "Farewell America"... No WONDER you couldn't get it here for 40 years! It must have SOME validity!

Interesting read.

This book was CENSORED for many years. That alone is reason to read it. Basically it tries to say that big OIL did him in. Perhaps. But he had other powerful enemies as well. >> Hint: give Final Judgment a read. On page 587 in the newest- 5th edition is an explaination of revenge for all the world to read. <br />

great account of state of union during kennedy times

I first read Farewell America in 1996, when I was loaned a copy of the book from a business colleague. I was unable to purchase a copy of the book at that time, i was told it was not for sale. This was true at the time.The book as i read it 7 years ago was intriquing, and the fact i was unable to find the book or buy the book legally lead me to believe more in conspiracy about the JFK assassination, and to read as many books as possible about JFK and the state of the nation during and after that time. The fact that this book was researched and written so close to the time that the assassination and 'coverup' happened is the most compelling reason for reading Farewell America. After reading it again now that it is available, I still rank this book as the best source of information on this subject. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to step back with an open mind and look at the facts that were known in the first five years after Kennedy's death. There are excellent books which follow in later years, but the closer to the source, the less the distortion.

Dorothy, You're not in Kansas anymore!

This shocking book, "Farewell America", will change the way you think about America, and humanity in general. And not in a good way. This is THE best book ever written on "The Establishment". "The Establishment" is hard to explain, but this book does a wonderful job of doing so. It shows how the Status Quo is protected by the Big Bankers, Big Lawyers, Big Military, Big Business, etc. And it's NOT a coincidence that The Warren Commission had men from all of these big "establishments" protecting their respective establishments. That's why the Warren Commission lied to us. An investigation into the Conspiracy to kill Kennedy, essentially meant an investigation into the inner workings of our Government, and their many, many partners in American society, and indeed, the global society (The Establishment). Quite simply, President John, F Kennedy, and his brother, Bobby, wanted to do things the way the Constitution says a President and his administration should be able to do things. The Constitution is irrelevant to "The Establishment". They dont care about America, and they dont care about you, or me. We are the "little people" to them. They will use, abuse, essentially manipulate us in any way that they can, to make a buck, and move up on the ladder that is the power and control structure of society. They used a 23 year old man on November 22nd,1963, and changed his life forever, and lynched him two days later. This man, who was innocent, was named Lee Harvey Oswald. "The Establishment" used him and sacrificed him, when they got what they wanted from their manipulation of him. Anyone who threatens the money making opportunities, the image, or the "values" of these people will be killed. Prime Example, John F Kennedy. He wanted to give more money and more power to the people. The Federal Reserve and The Military hated him for that. President Kennedy wanted peace with the Soviets and Cuba. The CIA, The Military, The Mafia, and the Anti Castro Cuban exiles despised him for that. They wanted war, even if it meant a nuclear war. Kennedy thought about we the people. "The Establishment" didnt like that, because we the people arent corrupt, devious degenerates who just care about making a buck. Thus, we the people, and our very constitution got in the way of "The Establishment" and their political and business opportunities. All of this, and so much more is detailed in this book, "Farewell America". This book wasnt actually written by a man named James Hepburn.That's just a ghost name. This book was actually the result of two things....1. Bobby Kennedy's private investigation into his Brother's death.2. French Intelligence's study of the assassination. So this book, isnt written by some author just putting forth theories, it is written by the INSIDERS, who had knowledge about how things really work, and as such, this book is essential to your understanding of why our President was killed, why we were lied to, and why "The Establishment" is the reason

AN OUTSTANDING NEW BOOK

This is a wonderful book (a birthday gift last week). It confirms what I suspected for a long time: that a large collection of special interests (oil, corporate, mafia) conspired to kill JFK. This has been argued before all from second hand writers, but "Farewell America" confirmed this in the 1960s right after Kennedy's death. That surprised me. The book was written by French intelligence officers under a pen name (Hepburn is not a real person). A fresh look with lots of detail and support. The story makes more sense, and is more plausible than any I have seen.The introduction or Forword is by William Turner, who was an FBI guy with ties to Jim Garrison. Turner helped locate an overseas opy of the Zapruder film. This was important because no one had seen it before in public. Only a few pictures were published in the mainstream media. When people saw it, it seemed evident that Kennedy's headshot was from the front (Grassy Knoll area). Farewell America" discusses this and even has a map on the location of the shooters. This is important because this was written a long time before the public realized the truth of these statements. Turner also had access to Kennedy people and has written about similar things in FBI circles before. All in all a fascinating book I cannot endorse enough. It did not change my mind, but it confirmed my beliefs with a lot of logical evidence.
