The last supper: From Texas to the Moon: new revelations about the murder of John F. Kennedy

A few whispered sentences exchanged on November 21, 1963, on the stage of the Houston Coliseum between U.S. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson and Congressman Albert Thomas — recently deciphered from what was believed to be a damaged audio recording — reveal brief yet unsettling words that cast new light on the assassination of John F. Kennedy, one of the most profound collective traumas of the 20th century. Around this mystery unfolds a vivid reconstruction that transports us back to the atmosphere of the 1960s: the space race as the showcase of the Cold War, Texas standing at the crossroads of politics and oil, and Johnson and Thomas emerging as subtle orchestrators of power and funding. Kennedy, reluctant yet forced to compromise, agrees to a trip he never wished to take, hoping to reassure his allies and calm his adversaries. Between triumphant speeches and behind-the-scenes confrontations, the pressure mounts—until Dallas, where history is shattered. In this meticulously researched and fast-paced account, the tragedy emerges as the outcome of forces and interests far darker and deeper than the madness of a lone gunman. View Less
