Updated with recent evidence on JFK's assassination: "The closest we have to that literary chimera, a definitive work on the events in Dallas" (The Boston Globe). "He was holding out his hand . . . He looked puzzled . . . Then he slumped in my lap . . . I kept bending over him saying, 'Jack, Jack, can you hear me? I love you, Jack . . .' The seat was full of blood and red roses . . . ." --Jacqueline Kennedy, recalling the fatal moment in Dallas   Fifty years on, most Americans still feel they have not been told the truth about President Kennedy's death. Chief Justice Warren, who chaired the first inquiry, said "some things" that "involve security" might not be released in our lifetime. Millions of pages of assassination records were finally made public in the late 1990s. Yet the CIA is withholding more than a thousand documents under "national security"--until 2017.   Why? Why hold these records back if--as we were told half a century ago--Lee Harvey Oswald was a lone assassin? Anthony Summers set out to write a reliable account of the murder mystery that haunts America.Not in Your Lifetime, in this fresh edition, is one of the finest books written on the assassination.      … (mere)

Deserves its reputation as the authoritative text. A compendium of sources and perspectives, practically all of which are reasonably vetted and presented without bias, and where necessary, appropriates caveats. Advances no particular theory and merely argues, convincingly, that the truth is unknown. I only caught Summers wrong-footing himself once, in failing to put any question marks over the evidence of Tom Tilson (JFK researcher Peter R Whitmey demonstrated the problems with Tilson in 1993/94). But Tilson appears only in a throwaway paragraph. In all, the book offers a very sound background, although perhaps stresses mafia involvement more than the military/intelligence aspect. Still waiting for someone to write an equally decent book about the political/historical implications. ( )

This is an exhaustive look at the JFK assassination. Summers covers the events on that fateful day in Dallas in great detail. He also gives a thorough account of who Lee Oswald was and who he may have involved himself with. This book is long. It is detailed. It is well written, but it is as exhausting as it is exhaustive. Maybe it is the subject matter that wore me out so, but I could not bring myself to finish the last few chapters.

If you have any interest in the JFK assassination, especially conspiracy aspects of it, you will benefit from this book. Be aware, it is a mountain of information about a tragic and creepy event in U.S. history. ( )

A very good book but not as comprehensive as Jim Marrs "Crossfire". Very invloved, complex detailing means one has to concentrate. Good explanations of some recent developments & discoveries about the case. Good but not a work of completeness. No overall summary lets it down, I feel, as well as a lack of a descriptive "what if" scenario. Worth a look for those with an interest in the case though. ( )
