Summary of Jim Garrison's On the Trail of the Assassins

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 When I heard the news of President Kennedy’s assassination, I was shocked and disbelief quickly turned to anger. I felt a sense of unreality as the unending reportage flooded in from Dallas. #2 The New Orleans connection meant that my office had to investigate Oswald’s possible associations in our jurisdiction. We discovered that the alleged assassin had been seen with a man named David Ferrie during the summer. I got my people on the telephone to investigate a possible Oswald–Ferrie relationship. #3 I had met David Ferrie once, in 1962, when I was walking across Carondelet Street near Canal Street. He had been shouting congratulations on my election as district attorney. I had remembered him as an adventurer and pilot, and his reputation as an anti-Castro activist. #4 I had a high regard for the American legal system, and was confident that an F. B. I. investigation into David Ferrie and any other matters related to the President’s assassination would be thorough.
