DJ and boards show very light shelf wear, with minor creasing on DJ. ; A bright, solid book, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped. ; 9.10 X 6.30 X 0.70 inches; 361 pages; One of the major points of disagreement between Warren Commission defenders and Conspiracy theorists has been the ballistics evidence, i.e. the number, timing and angle of the shots, and resulting damage to the President's body. Bonar Menninger puts forward the theory that the shot which killed JFK (the 'head shot') was actually fired by mistake by one of Kennedy's Secret Service agents in the followup car, located directly behind the President's car, as they scrambled to react to the assassin's first shot. This book explains why some witnesses heard shots that sounded "different", why the first back/neck wound was a fairly clean through-shoot while the head shot was "explosive". Makes use of the entry angles, descriptions of the wounds and the damage done to the President's body as outlined in the Autopsy report done at Bethesda Naval Hospital. It also suggests an entirely different reason for the apparent cover-up put in place by the U.S. government, and may finally outline what actually happened on that terrible day in Dallas. .
