Synopsis
A fascinating, detailed account of how John Daniels, a young college graduate and expert marksman, is recruited for Operation Mongoose against Fidel Castro in 1963 and is eventually turned to play the key role in the assassination of President John Kennedy. Years later, a tragically remorseful Daniels sees history repeating itself when Bobby Kennedy enters the 1968 Presidential race, and realizes he must act to stop the same forces from reforming again to stop RFK. The eerie similarities between the two assassinations are pieces of a monstrous jigsaw puzzle that Daniels desperately tries to fit together and construct the fatal picture they portray as the novel races to a thrilling conclusion in Los Angeles. Perhaps as telling as the detailed information and photographs furnished, as provoking as the scrutiny of assassination experts, the journal is an understated, poignant account, a haunting memoir as spellbinding as Day of the Jackal.
