From Booklist
With dozens of books available on one of the most famous assassinations in modern history, another one hardly seems needed. That said, this volume provides a listing of people, places, and events related (however slightly) to November 22 to 24, 1963. Following an introduction that describes the events and summarizes conspiracy theories are hundreds of entries, from Abundant Life Temple (which figures in theories regarding Oswald's movement following the assassination) to Zoppi, Tony (Dallas Morning News columnist). These range from a paragraph to identify people and groups (Cuban Revolutionary Council; Garner, Dorothy Ann), to 4 or 5 pages (Autopsy of John F. Kennedy; Federal Bureau of Investigation), to the 16-page Oswald, Lee Harvey, with most entries about a half page in length.
No sources are listed for individual entries, but a lengthy bibliography of books and articles, with some citations annotated, is at the end. An index and numerous see references help a user through the entries. Some photos and maps illustrate people and sites in the text. Four appendixes include JFK organizations (but no Web sites), Jack Ruby's written statement, a list of films and videos on the assassination, and the conclusion of the House Select Committee on Assassinations.
For the most part, this volume is readable and intriguing. The topic holds such interest for so many people that the encyclopedia is sure to be useful for high-school students just learning about the assassination, the general public, and even knowledgeable researchers. For more on the JFK assassination, see Reference on the Web on p.780. RBB
