Since the birth of our nation and the election of the first president, groups of organized plotters or individuals have been determined to assassinate the chief executive. From the Founding Fathers to the Great Depression, three presidents have been assassinated: Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, and William McKinley. However, unknown to the general public, almost all presidents have been threatened, put in danger, or survived "near lethal approaches" during their terms. Plotting to Kill the President reveals the numerous, previously untold incidents when assassins, plotters, and individuals have threatened the lives of American presidents, from George Washington to Herbert Hoover. Mel Ayton has uncovered these episodes, including an attempt to assassinate President Hayes during his inauguration ceremony, an attempt to shoot Benjamin Harrison on the streets of Washington, an assassination attempt on President Roosevelt at the White House, and many other incidents that have never been reported or have been covered up. Ayton also recounts the stories of Secret Service agents and bodyguards from each administration who put their lives in danger to protect the commander in chief. Plotting to Kill the President demonstrates the unsettling truth that even while the nation sleeps, those who would kill the president are often hard at work devising new schemes.

William Manchester's epic and definitive account of President John F. Kennedy's assassination--now restored to print in a new paperback edition. As the world still reeled from the tragic and historic events of November 22, 1963, William Manchester set out, at the request of the Kennedy family, to create a detailed, authoritative record of the days immediately preceding and following President John F.

When They Kill a President by Roger Dean Craig Pdf

This new 2021 Special Edition of Craig's manuscript documents his eyewitness account of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, his investigation in Dealey Plaza after it occurred, and the massive cover up that followed. This first-hand account of what took place in Dallas on November 22, 1963, proves not only that there was a vast conspiracy to kill John F. Kennedy, but it also examines how costly telling the truth could be for an eyewitness like Roger Craig, who threatened to expose the lies of the official narrative surrounding the assassination of the 35th President of the United States.

Killing the President by Willard M. Oliver,Nancy E. Marion Pdf
This book offers an analysis of every American presidential assassination and various attempted assassinations, examining the events surrounding each event and the people involved. The assassinations and attempted assassinations of American presidents were pivotal events that reverberated throughout the nation, even in cases where the murder was botched. The individuals behind each plot are often fascinating studies in obsession and distorted perception of reality—like President James Garfield's assassin, who spent an extra dollar on the gun he chose for the act simply because it would look better in a museum display after the event. For the first time under one cover, this text offers a concise study of every presidential assassination, attempt, and rumor. Each chapter focuses on a single American assassination, providing an analysis of the president, the assassin, and the events that shaped their arrival at that place in time. The chapter then describes the assassination or attempt itself and the long-term impacts of the crime. Accounts of the more contemporary incidents involving Presidents John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush especially demonstrate the evolution of the monumental task of protecting the U.S. president in a free and open society.
The Patient is Dying is a new book adapted from an unpublished manuscript entitled When They Kill a President, that was originally written in 1971 by a former decorated Dallas County Deputy Sheriff named Roger Dean Craig. This book documents his eyewitness account of President John F. Kennedy's assassination, and his investigation in Dealey Plaza after it occurred, as well as the massive cover up that followed in the days, months, and years after it happened. Among the many events that Deputy Craig witnessed in Dealey Plaza on that day were: Lee Harvey Oswald (or an impostor) running from the Texas School Book Depository minutes after the assassination, and enter the passenger seat of a waiting Rambler station wagon, that was parked on Elm Street in front of the school book depository building. The Rambler station wagon speeding away from Dealey Plaza, while being driven by a husky Latin man, heading in the direction of Oak Cliff, a suburb of Dallas where Police Officer J. D. Tippit was later found shot to death, and whose murder would subsequently be blamed on Lee Harvey Oswald. A 7.65 Mauser rifle found on the 6th-floor of the school book depository, a completely different weapon than the one entered into evidence, a 6.5 Italian Mannlicher-Carcano, that connected Oswald to the assassination. Deputy Craig was called before the Warren Commission as a Key Witness in April of 1964. However, he would later discover that much of his testimony was altered, or did not appear in the final report at all. On February 14, 1969, Craig also testified as a Key Witness for New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison during his trial of a local businessman named Clay LaVerne Shaw, who had charged Shaw with being a co-conspirator in the assassination plot to kill President Kennedy. After years of intimidation, and numerous attempts made on his life to silence him, Craig was eventually found shot to death himself on May 15, 1975. The Dallas County Coroner ruled it to be a suicide, but after doing extensive research of my own, and conducting numerous interviews with people who knew him, I concluded that suicide was a very unlikely scenario in this case, and that murder was a far more likely explanation for how he died, after closely examining all of the circumstances behind his tragic death. Roger Dean Craig, who was named "Officer of the Year" in 1960 for outstanding performance in the line of duty, paid the ultimate price for trying to tell the truth about what he witnessed on November 22, 1963. His manuscript, and now this book, proves that there was a conspiracy to kill the 35th President of the United States of America. And Craig's heroic efforts and sacrifice to expose it shall not be forgotten." -Steve Cameron, Publisher of "The Patient Is Dying," and author of "The Deputy Interviews: The True Story of J.F.K.

Winner of the 2009 San Francisco Book Festival Award (Wild Card category) "I'm not sorry I tried...if successful, the assassination...just might have triggered the kind of chaos that could have started the upheaval of change." --Sara Jane Moore in 1976 Journalist Geri Spieler met would-be assassin Sara Jane Moore while she was in prison; Taking Aim at the President is based on over two decades of interviews as well as independant research. Spieler follows Moore's actions from her childhood in a small West Virginia town to her release from prison in December 2007. Moore's life was never conventional, and along the way she entered and dropped out of the military, was married five times, and was both a political radical and an FBI informant. Focusing on the complex psychology and motivations of a quintessentially desperate housewife and the only woman to ever fire a bullet at an American president, Spieler delivers a nuanced portrait of an elusive person and a fascinating glimpse back at a turbulent period in American history.
"We appreciate Roger Stone, he is one tough cookie." - President Trump The sensational New York Times bestseller, now in paperback. Find out how and why LBJ had JFK assassinated. The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ hit the New York Times bestseller list the week of the 50th Anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Consummate political insider Roger Stone makes a compelling case that Lyndon Baines Johnson had the motive, means, and opportunity to orchestrate the murder of JFK. Stone maps out the case that LBJ blackmailed his way on the ticket in 1960 and was being dumped in 1964 to face prosecution for corruption at the hands of his nemesis attorney Robert Kennedy. Stone uses fingerprint evidence and testimony to prove JFK was shot by a long-time LBJ hit man—not Lee Harvey Oswald. President Johnson would use power from his personal connections in Texas, from the criminal underworld, and from the United States government to escape an untimely end in politics and to seize even greater power. President Johnson, the thirty-sixth president of the United States, was the driving force behind a conspiracy to murder President Kennedy on November 22, 1963. In The Man Who Killed Kennedy, you will find out how and why he did it.

The First Conspiracy by Brad Meltzer,Josh Mensch Pdf
Taking place during the most critical period of our nation’s birth, The First Conspiracy tells a remarkable and previously untold piece of American history that not only reveals George Washington’s character, but also illuminates the origins of America’s counterintelligence movement that led to the modern day CIA. In 1776, an elite group of soldiers were handpicked to serve as George Washington’s bodyguards. Washington trusted them; relied on them. But unbeknownst to Washington, some of them were part of a treasonous plan. In the months leading up to the Revolutionary War, these traitorous soldiers, along with the Governor of New York, William Tryon, and Mayor David Mathews, launched a deadly plot against the most important member of the military: George Washington himself. This is the story of the secret plot and how it was revealed. It is a story of leaders, liars, counterfeiters, and jailhouse confessors. It also shows just how hard the battle was for George Washington and how close America was to losing the Revolutionary War. In this historical page-turner, New York Times bestselling author Brad Meltzer teams up with American history writer and documentary television producer, Josh Mensch to unravel the shocking true story behind what has previously been a footnote in the pages of history. Drawing on extensive research, Meltzer and Mensch capture in riveting detail how George Washington not only defeated the most powerful military force in the world, but also uncovered the secret plot against him in the tumultuous days leading up to July 4, 1776. Praise for The First Conspiracy: "This is American history at its finest, a gripping story of spies, killers, counterfeiters, traitors?and a mysterious prostitute who may or may not have even existed. Anyone with an interest in American history will love this book." —Douglas Preston, #1 bestselling author of The Lost City of the Monkey God “A wonderful book about leadership?and it shows why George Washington and his moral lessons are just as vital today. What a book. You’ll love it.” —President George H.W. Bush “This is an important book: a fascinating largely unknown chapter of our hazardous beginning, a reminder of why counterintelligence matters, and a great read.” —President Bill Clinton
Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy by Vincent Bugliosi Pdf
