New York, N.Y. W. W. Norton & Company, 2015. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xiii, [1], 290 pages. Includes Introduction, Prologue, Epilogue, Acknowledgments, Notes, and Index. Also includes 7 black and white photographs of Rabin (several taken with family members), and 12 color photographs of Rabin and his family. There also are two color photographs of Yigal Amir (the shooter) at his trial. Dan Ephron is the executive editor for news and podcasts at Foreign Policy. Before joining Foreign Policy, he spent 13 years at Newsweek, where he served as Jerusalem bureau chief, deputy Washington bureau chief, and national security correspondent. His book, Killing a King, about the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, won a Los Angeles Times Book Award and was chosen by both the New York Times and Washington Post as one of 2015’s 100 notable books. Based on Israeli police reports, interviews, confessions, and the cooperation of both Rabin's and Amir's families, this book is a tightly coiled narrative that reaches an inevitable, shattering conclusion. The author can't help but wonder what Israel would look like today had Rabin lived. More
New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 2015. First Edition [stated]. Second printing [stated]. Hardcover. xiii, [1], 290 pages. Illustrations. Notes. Index. AJC bookplate on fep. Derived from a Kirkus review: In a single moment, the Jewish zealot Yigal Amir derailed the Oslo negotiations and forever altered the destinies of two nations. Former Newsweek Jerusalem bureau chief Ephron argues that the murder presaged the rise of the Israeli hard right, and today, with Rabin’s archrival Benjamin Netanyahu serving as prime minister and a quarter of the population supporting clemency for Amir, peace with the Palestinians seems as distant as at any time since 1948. In tense, gripping prose, the author dissects Amir’s background, describing him as a bright student who, “in his own view…knew God’s word better than most Jews, even most rabbis. And he was a doer—the characteristic that defined Amir more than any other, that distinguished him from his peers in school and in the military.” In college, he threw himself into activism but “racked up nothing but failures: the failure to draw millions to the streets; the failure to form a serious militia; and the failure to stop Rabin.” The story of Rabin’s evolving relationship with Yasser Arafat and Amir’s growing militancy unfold in parallel, Amir making repeated attempts to get close to his quarry as he schemed with his brother and harangued his college friends. Amir considered Rabin rodef, a villain who pursues Jews with the intent of killing them, and Ephron makes the solid point that “any honest interpretation of the Talmudic principle he fixated on would have pointed back at him. Amir was the real rodef.”. More
EJE Publications, Ltd. Inc., 2013. Presumed First Edition/First Printing. Trade paperback. Unpaginated. Edward Jay Epstein (born in 1935) is an American investigative journalist and a former political science professor at Harvard, UCLA, and MIT.[1][2] He taught courses at these schools for three years.[3] While a graduate student at Cornell University in 1966, he published the book Inquest, an influential critique of the Warren Commission probe into the John F. Kennedy assassination. Epstein wrote two other books about the Kennedy assassination, eventually collected in The Assassination Chronicles: Inquest, Counterplot, and Legend (1992). His books Legend (1978) and Deception (1989) drew on interviews with retired CIA Counterintelligence Chief James Jesus Angleton, and his 1982 book The Rise and Fall of Diamonds was an expose of the diamond industry and its economic impact in southern Africa.[4] After teaching at Harvard, UCLA, and MIT, Epstein decided to pursue his writing career back in New York City. In 1973, he received his Ph.D. in government from Harvard University. He did his master's thesis on the search for political truth which later became a top-selling book. More
New York: Ocean Press, 2006. First Printing [Stated]. Trade paperback. x, 261, [1] pages. Glossary. Occasional footnotes. Chronology. Bibliography. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Fabian Escalante is the author of several books, including The Secret War: CIA Covert Operations Against Cuba, 1959-62 (1995) and CIA Targets Fidel: The Secret Assassination Report (1996). In 2006 Escalante published JFK: The Cuba Files. In the book Escalante describes the conspiracy uncovered by Cuba's investigation, which reviewed declassified US files and reports from Cuban intelligence units that had infiltrated anti-Castro groups in Miami. At the time of assassination of John F. Kennedy, Escalante was head of a counterintelligence unit and was part of a team investigating a CIA operation called Sentinels of Liberty. In 1982 Escalante became a senior official in the Interior Ministry. Escalante was considered to be Cuba's leading authority on the history of CIA activities against his country. Escalante became head of the Cuban Security Studies Center in 1993. This allowed him to reexamine the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He studied all the available material and publications, consulted with former agents and operatives, and investigated all the accessible documentation.” In a Cuban television documentary broadcast on November 26, 1993, Escalante named the gunmen who killed John F. Kennedy as three Chicago mobsters (Lenny Patrick, David Yaras, and Richard Cain), and two Cuban exiles (Herminio Diaz Garcia and Eladio del Valle), but said that many in the CIA and elsewhere knew what was going to happen.

In the early 1990s, Fetzer started promoting John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories, later 9/11 conspiracy theories, and conspiracy theories regarding the 2002 death of Senator Paul Wellstone.
