He includes in this book six essays on the theories, intrigues, and mysteries still surrounding the assassination. It includes the classic article he wrote for Esquire cataloguing the strengths and weaknesses of 60 conspiracy theories, the last interview he had with George de Mohrenshildt on the last day of De Mohrenshildt’s life, and his debate with Oliver Stone over the movie JFK. .
