This book is an example of a tower of conspiratorial hypotheses built on one self-evidently false premise. The false premise is that the doctors who tried to save Kennedy's life at Parkland Hospital, Dallas, and those who performed the autopsy at the Bethesda Hospital in Washington were sufficiently calm and collected to make accurate detailed observations, and hence when discrepancies arise between various accounts these must be evidence of tampering w1th the body.

This is absurd. Those of us who can remember the terrible shock and grief of this event can understand that these examinations and observations were conducted by people in the extremities of grief, shock, anxiety and fear, numbed by what had happened. Not surprisingly, their recollections are confused, and these vague impressions have become solidified over the years. The real value of th is book is to demonstrate that eyewitness testimony of events at times of great stress is extremely unreliable.
