"On the Trail of the Assassins" was authored by Jim Garrison, a former New Orleans District Attorney, who embarked on an extraordinary quest to solve the murder of President John F. Kennedy. Jim Garrison's investigation and subsequent trial of businessman Clay Shaw are at the heart of this book.
Garrison's journey began when he became suspicious of the official account of the JFK assassination presented by the Warren Commission. He believed that there was more to the story than what had been revealed. In his book, he outlines the steps he took to unravel what most of the American public now agree was a web of conspiracy.
Garrison's investigation led him to conclude that there were powerful forces at play behind Kennedy's assassination, and he believed that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone. He accused Clay Shaw, a prominent New Orleans businessman, of being involved in a conspiracy to murder the president.
One of the most captivating aspects of "On the Trail of the Assassins" is the behind-the-scenes look at Garrison's investigation. He meticulously details the evidence he uncovered and the witnesses he interviewed, painting a vivid picture of his relentless pursuit of the truth. Garrison's journey was fraught with challenges, including legal battles and public scrutiny.
In 1969, Garrison's case against Clay Shaw went to trial but ended in acquittal. While the trial did not result in a conviction, it kept the debate about the JFK assassination alive and contributed to the growing skepticism surrounding the official account.
