"The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie, deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic."
John F. Kennedy
Who had the opportunity, motive and means to assassinate J.F.K.? Who controlled the investigation and findings of the Warren Commission? These and other questions are answered with new, "insider" evidence from a former member of L.B.J.'s legal team, attorney Barr McClellan.
An insider's knowledge is combined with hundreds of newly released documents to shed new light on one of history's greatest unsolved mysteries.
The plot to assassinate President John F. Kennedy has been shrouded in secrecy and deceit, leading most Americans to doubt the veracity of the Warren Commission's findings. Now, after forty years, Barr McClellan exposes the secret, high-level conspiracy in Texas that led to Kennedy's death and L.B.J.'s succession as President. Utilizing court documents, insider interviews and even the findings of the Warren Commission, Barr McClellan reveals the complex maneuvers, payoffs and power plays that changed the history of the 20th century. If absolute power corrupts, then blood, money and deception are its allies. This powerful book represents the very best of investigative journalism, with independent corroboration of all key points, and is compelling, convincing, and historically significant.
Review
"It's hard not to read this work and not shout 'Guilty as hell'." Walt Brown, editor of JFK/Deep Politics Magazine
Review
"In Blood, Money and Power Barr McClellan offers new insights into the dark and ruthless forces that propelled Lyndon Baines Johnson into the highest office in the land. As a member of the Clark law firm, he was privy to specific conversations and shared confidences with colleagues that convinced him of Clark's principal role in the murder of Kennedy. He is to be congratulated on finally breaking the powerful attorney-client privilege that traditionally binds all lawyers in order to bring what he knows to the world. Barr McClellan's insider's voice is a valuable addition to those who earnestly seek the truth of what really happened on November 22nd, 1963." Nigel Turner, creator of "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" (Discovery Channel)
