Stone's book was the first I have read devoted to the Kennedy assassination and found it a nice introduction. I have heard some problematic things about the killing of course. In Stone's book the most interesting things were his portrayal of LBJ, the fact Oswald's paraffin test was negative, and if I remember, Kennedy's route that day wasn't public knowledge until that morning. Couldn't put the book down. On to James Douglass' book for me.
