Description

New forensic discoveries since 2000 have significantly revised our understanding of the events surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. In "Last Second in Dallas", Josiah Thompson presents a compelling narrative that challenges long-held assumptions about the shooting. The book's central argument is supported by detailed analysis of film frames and acoustic evidence, which together reveal the presence of two killing shots to the head from opposite directions in the final second of the shooting. Thompson's work builds on his earlier book, "Six Seconds in Dallas", and offers a fresh perspective on the assassination. The author's investigation has uncovered significant errors in previous forensic tests, including a test that incorrectly attributed all recovered bullet fragments to Oswald's rifle. By re-examining the evidence, Thompson sheds new light on the controversy surrounding the Kennedy assassination. A historical detective story and deeply personal narrative, "Last Second in Dallas" provides a gripping account of the events leading up to the assassination, as well as the subsequent investigation and its many controversies.
