the saga continues

Ultimate Sacrifice is a quantum leap toward uncovering what happened prior to and on Nov. 22, 1963. The reasearch done by Waldron over the last 17 years, especially after the release of documents precipitated by the movie JFK in 1992, is thorough and convincing. Waldron interviewed many of the participants and spent days pouring over newspaper microfiche in his effort to uncover the truth. Waldron presents information in easy to follow pieces, developing a clear and convincing argument for involvement of the CIA with the Mafia in a program that Bobby Kennedy, representing JFK, had ordered stopped. I am left with the awareness of a renegade CIA refusing to follow orders from the President himself. What impressed me is the message I perceived from Waldron's nonjudgmental reporting, that the Kennedy brothers truly cared about what happened to the Cubans and wanted them to have a fair and democratic government. Ultimate Sacrifice is well documented and well indexed. I appreciate the attention to detail that went into its production. I recommend this book for anyone who is interested in a close look at the inner workings of government and a clear understanding of how things can go wrong even with the motive is pure.

"Ultimate Sacrifice": The ultimate Kenendy book, bar none

"Ultimate Sacrifice"'s authors Lamar Waldron and Thom Hartmann should be commended with a Pulitzer Prie for his amazing work. After all these many years we finally have the definitive story, backed with facts (not fiction or theories or crapola), about how and why JFK died that terrible day in Dallas. This book also briliantly tells the story of the Kennedy brothers involvement in C-Day, the coup to oust Castro in the fall/ winter of 1963 (it is ironic that Castro is still alive, but I digress). My shelves are bulging with books on this subject that I now have half a mind to just throw away (or sell on here haha)-"Ultimate Sacrifice" tells all and answers all regarding 11/22/63 and the brothers Kennedy (and their obsession with Castro/ Cuba). To say that this book is a must-have is an understatement. I am now in the process of rereading it-it gets even better all the time. A very satisfied reader Chagrin Falls, Ohio (a Browns fan all the way haha)

Can you get any better than this? I don't think so

As a 40-something professional adult, I have always been fascinated with all things Kennedy, especially growing up with Kennedy-loving parents. So, naturally, I am drawn to a book like Ultimate Sacrifice, as I am hundreds of other books on the topic of *J*F*K* and his assassination. What makes this book special is that the authors have done their homework in a major way, unlike Gerald What's-his-name of Case Closed infamy. How anyone can read this book and not be convinced of its findings is beyond me. Unless you are in major denial or cannot read, Ultimate Sacrifice will totally sway you toward the inevitable conclusion that JFK and RFK were playing with fire in their attempts to kill the bearded one Fidel Castro of Cuba. I encourage you to buy it now or for the holidays as it would make a great gift to any history buff.

THIS BOOK IS VERY GOOD INDEED

WHOLEHEARTED AGREEMENT MUST BE EXTENDED TO ALL OTHER 5-STAR REVIEWS CONTAINED HEREIN. THIS BOOK IS SIMPLY OUTSTANDING! I THINK WE ARE ALL SICK TO DEATH OF BOOKS WITHOUT ANY EVIDENTIAL BASE WHATSOEVER...NOT A PROBLEM HERE. MASSIVELY FOOTNOTED AND DOCUMENTED, CLEARLY WRITTEN. SPEND YOUR HARD-EARNED DOLLARS ON THIS ONE; IT'S WLEL WORTH IT, TRUST ME. SATISFIED CUSTOMER NEW YORK, NEW YORK

Waldron & Hartmann are owed a debt of thanks

Waldron & Hartmann are owed a debt of thanks for clearing up the many mysteries surrounding the death of JFK and the attempts to kill Cuban Premier Fidel Castro. The "Ultimate Sacrifice" is a book no library or responsible historian should be without. I hated to see it end. Also, it's nice to see Carroll & Graf come out with a well edited book for a change.
