The Warren Report - The Murder...

Geoffrey Giuliano

In delving into the examination of the Warren Report, a narrative unfolds, revealing a tapestry of controversies and criticisms that have woven doubt into the fabric of its conclusions. The central pillar of contention revolves around the report's assertion that Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, was the sole perpetrator behind the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

As the report posits Oswald as the lone gunman, dissenting voices rise, challenging the simplicity of this conclusion. Critics argue that the investigation failed to adequately explore alternative theories that propose the involvement of multiple assailants. This fundamental disagreement casts a shadow over the narrative crafted by the Warren Commission.

A particularly contentious element within the report is the infamous "magic bullet" theory. This theory contends that a single bullet traversed through both Kennedy and Texas Governor John Connally, causing seven wounds in the process. Detractors find this scenario implausible, citing the trajectory and the severity of the injuries as evidence that contradicts the narrative woven by the commission.
The narrative takes a twist as the completeness of the investigation comes under scrutiny. Critics contend that key witnesses were left uninterrogated, and crucial pieces of evidence remained inadequately examined. The suggestion that the commission may have overlooked vital information introduces an air of skepticism surrounding the integrity of the narrative.

The Searchers - A Quest for...

Joseph Loconte

Never before had they known such hope. 
In a world drenched in violence and oppression, here was a man armed with a message of peace and freedom. Into lives nearly overwhelmed by grief and sorrow, he brought compassion and healing and the deepest joy. To people who felt like outcasts and aliens, he showed the way home. And then, in one devastating night, all their hopes collapsed.

Historian Joseph Loconte unlocks the meaning of their exchange, set in the chaotic days following the execution of Jesus of Nazareth. Drawing from literature, film, philosophy, history, and politics, Loconte shows how this biblical drama is an integral part of our own story. Sooner or later, we will find ourselves among the searchers.

Ladies-in-Waiting - Women Who...

Sylvia Barbara Soberton

The aspects of Anne Boleyn's life and death are fiercely debated by historians, yet her ladies-in-waiting remain an understudied topic. Much emphasis is usually put on Anne's relationships with the men in her life: her suitors, her royal husband, her father and brother, and her putative lovers who were executed on May 17, 1536. By concentrating on a previously neglected area of Anne Boleyn's female household, this book seeks to identify the women who served Anne and investigate what roles ladies-in-waiting played in this Queen's household.
