Synopsis Historians, conspiracy theorists, director Oliver Stone, and the general public have long speculated on the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963. Was it payback--or blowback--for the ill-fated Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961 or the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962? Was the Mafia involved? Or the CIA? Did the Warren Commission Report whitewash the facts? Will we ever really know? In ULTIMATE SACRIFICE: JOHN AND ROBERT KENNEDY, THE PLAN FOR A COUP IN CUBA, AND THE MURDER OF JFK, Lamar Waldron provides a provocative new take on the assassination, based on newly released documents and first-hand witness accounts. As indicated in the book's subtitle, there was a top-secret plan for a U.S.-backed coup in Cuba scheduled for December 1963. The plans leaked out, enemies of the two Kennedy brothers got hold of them, and the "murder," as he calls it, followed. Readers will will learn further why Waldron gave his book the title ULTIMATE SACRIFICE.
