The Best Book I have Ever Read in My Life.

This one is a monument to both human curiosity and disciplined research. That is one rare duplex! It wanders like Gravity's Rainbow but is on footnotes not marijuana. You will leave this book with a curiosity that is nearly illegal, at this stage of capitalism. It shows us that the Kennedy Assassination, is not a naive exploration of the contingencies of one liberal's death. Rather it is a core-sampling of Cold War America, that is more current an event than anything you will read in a newspaper this year. It teaches about media, intelligence history, and their connections to everyday events and people. Can only enlarge a readers sense of what politics really is right now.

Absolutely Stunning!

This book, "The Man Who Knew Too Much" by Dick Russell is quite possibly THE very best JFK Assassination book ever written. Russell makes a startling case for a JFK Assassination resolution with this wonderful, 40th anniversary edition of his book based on the life of Richard Case Nagell. Nagell, in a word, was an enigma, Just like the assassination that he shed so much light on was also an enigma.......until now. Nagell, a former CIA man and Military Intelligence agent (As well as KGB agent too!) trusted Dick Russell so much, that he met with him, and corresponded with him for many years. In each of these correspondences, Nagell revealed bits and pieces about what he knew about the Conspiracy to kill JFK, and make no mistake, Nagell knew alot! Too Much in fact, hence the title of this book. Nagell stumbled upon the actual assassination plots (Notice I said "Plots", plural) that resulted in the assassination in Dallas, of President John F Kennedy. That in of itself is startling, but even more startling than that is the fact that Nagell warned FBI Director J Edgar Hoover about the plots to kill Kennedy two months BEFORE the assassination took place! Russell meticulously puts all of the loose ends of Nagell's story together and forms a very plausible solution to the assassination, and exposes who very well could be the true forces behind the murder of JFK. You may ask, "What makes this book any different from other JFK Assassination books?" The answer is that the other JFK Assassination books didnt have PROVEN sources that were actually involved with the people who killed Kennedy. Russell's source (Nagell) WAS DIRECTLY INVOLVED! Nagell was not only involved with these people, but he actually infiltrated the group and tape recorded them talking about the assassination of Kennedy! Nagell also claims to have a photo of him and Lee Harvey Oswald. It is proven that Nagell and Oswald had lots in common......so much so that Nagell thought that he himself may have been a consideration for the Patsy in the murder. And this takes us full circle into how Nagell's story became public to begin with......Nagell purposely got himself arrested so that he would have an alibi for his whereabouts two months later when Kennedy was killed! Nagell was "The Man Who Knew Too Much" and he was put into a horrible position that forced him to work with the KGB (The Soviet's equivalent of the CIA). In fact, Nagell was hired by the KGB to kill someone. Someone VERY familiar to JFK assassination researchers. Someone named Lee Harvey Oswald! It is a long, immensely exciting story, but I will leave the rest for Russell to tell you about. When you read this book, it will feel as if you are actually learning the truth, the REAL truth about the assassination of JFK. Its almost as if you have secretly broken into the government's secret vault marked "Truth about the JFK Assassination". You will be transported right into the true circumstances that resulted in the assassina

Undeniable. Read from the ARRB's Final Report for yourself..

I am now in my 4th year of ongoing research into the lives of JFK/RFK and their assassinations, which will soon culminate in the writing of a historical fiction volume(s). I have over 1,000 pages of typed notes on my laptop. My bibliography is 6 pages long to date. I have been to Dealey Plaza, and I have researched at the National Archives.To summarize my opinion of this relatively unheard of, brilliantly presented account of Richard Case Nagell's life and its implications, I am simply going to show you one quote.In 1994, the Assassinations Records Review Board (ARRB) attempted to contact Mr. Nagell pertaining to their investigation into the declassification of documents relating to JFK's death. They were the first governmental committee to do so. The Warren Commission never did, and neither did the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) in 1976. The ARRB dispatched notification to Mr. Nagell in October 1994, which was 2 years after Nagell first told his story to the author of this book, Dick Russell.The ARRB's Final Report was released in 1995. This quote is from page 133 of that Report:"Subsequently, the Review Board was informed that Nagell had been found dead in his Los Angeles apartment the day after the ARRB's letter was mailed. (The coroner ruled that he died as a result of natural causes.)"

Let's Rename FBI Hqs the Dick Russell Building

Dick Russell has out-investigated the entire FBI in the JFK assassination case and provided his findings in his book, The Man Who Knew Too Much, so renaming FBI Hqs in his honor would be appropriate. If the FBI had expended a fraction of the effort that Dick Russell devoted to the case (not counting the FBI's effort that went into the coverup), the conspirators would have been wrapped up long ago. Russell is thorough (just look at the number of pages!), fair, and objective, clearly seeking the truth and not trying to force facts into a preconceived notion. He's attempted to follow the facts to wherever they lead. Undoubtedly, solutions to the mysteries surrounding JFK's death will involve some of what is provided to us in this book with regard to events that Richard Case Nagell witnessed. If you want to look into the JFK case, this book is indispensible.

Brilliant book-The Best JFK Assassination Compilation

This book is a true masterpiece! Even if you only have a fleeting interest in JFK conspiracy theories you will enjoy this read. If you like a great mystery novel or chilling spy drama 'The Man Who Knew Too Much'will have you under its spell the way few non-fiction books will. Dick Rusell seems to understand what few JFK assassination book writers do: theories need to be backed up by facts!....I'm sure the true elements of the plot to kill JFK are in this book...everyone gets a name check; from Hoover to Oswald, from the Mafia to secret far-right groups Russell illuminates the dark world of espionage and counter-espionage and centers on the tale of one-time double agent Richard C. Nagell. Nagell it seems sent word of the assassination plot two months BEFORE Nov. 22 to the FBI, who did nothing. In a moment of desperation he fired off a gun in an El Paso bank and got himself arrested......but Nagell is but one figure in the macabre house of cards that led to the death of perhaps our most popular President. Russell has not just written the most coherent analysis on the JFK conspiracy he's written a great book. Period.
