Publisher's summary

The case against Lyndon B. Johnson and his role in Kennedy's assassination has never been sounder. LBJ aims to prove that Vice President Johnson played an active role in the assassination of President Kennedy and that he began planning his takeover of the U.S. presidency even before being named the vice presidential nominee in 1960.

Lyndon B. Johnson's flawed personality and character traits, formed as a child, grew unchecked for the rest of his life as he suffered severe bouts of manic-depressive illness. He successfully hid this disorder from the public as he bartered, stole, and finessed his way through the corridors of power on Capitol Hill, though it's recorded that some of his aides knew of his struggle with bipolar disorder.

After years of researching Johnson and the JFK assassination, Phillip F. Nelson conclusively shows that LBJ had an active role in JFK's assassination, and he includes newly uncovered photographic evidence proving that Johnson knew when and where Kennedy's assassination would take place. Nelson's careful and meticulous research has led him to uncover secrets from one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in our country's history.

Editorial reviews

Philip F. Nelson hopes to show that Lyndon B. Johnson played a major role in the Kennedy assassination, and unlike the baseless speculation and second-hand hearsay found elsewhere, Nelson grounds his claims with historical and biographical fact in a well-structured narrative that connects LBJ's youthful character flaws to the shady dealings in his early political life, and finally to the mentality that led him to - as Nelson asserts - assassinate JFK. Nelson is assisted in part by the convincing work of Fred Sanders, who is able to convey a believable curiosity and confidence while boldly implicating the 36th president.

Guilty.

Great narration. Content is not shocking to any who have studied this subject, though it is brought together nicely. It's a nice affirmation. It was a coup plain and simple. Yes. Right here in this country. Johnson was a certifiable socio/psycho-path. Hopefully a vetting system will be out in place for those running for the highest offices. Then again the people in power don't care. Enter the deep state. This game is not played by fair rules so don't just bitch about it. Get registered to VOTE. Get off the couch and actually vote. Arm yourself and become proficient . Lose your fear of death( yours and the other guys) and be ready to think and act for yourself.

Perplexing and Interesting<br />

This body of work provides detailed background of the former President, lacking in specifics, however.

Too long for the storyline.

This book is so repetitive, and goes too long. It has a silly ending.

Utterly compelling and convincing

Having read the great Caro biographies of LBJ I knew what he was capable of and this book does a masterful and highly detailed job of laying out the convincing case that in fact LBJ was the mastermind of the bloody coup of 1963. Horrific, terrifying and sad that our National security apparatus can be be manipulated and controlled to carry out such a heinous act. Based on what JFK knew and LBJ leveraged and what happened with the Tump Russia collusion hoax and most likely the “insurrection “ of Jan 6 2021, our CIA, FBI and Justice department are capable of anything and beholden to no one.

EVIDENCE

No doubt about it. Johnson was the mastermind. Release the rest of the information. Johnson, Hoover, and Dulles are rotting in hell.

The careful tying together of all the evidence available

Clear and concise interpretation of the life and deeds of the 36th president.. should be required reading for any history major and maybe even for high school social studies.
