This book examines the theory that Fidel Castro, former President of Cuba, may have been involved in the assassination of JFK in retaliation to US plots to murder Castro.

I thought it was an interesting read and there are definitely some merits to what the author argues. It is well researched from the released documents and there are some intriguing questions asked about the radio retrieved from Oswald's room, for instance. The sheer inefficiency and incompetency of the investigation into JFK's murder is again highlighted and a couple of possible reasons for this are offered. I'm just not sure I'm 100% convinced. If, like me, you're interested in the JFK case, I would recommend giving it a read.
