Murder, Inc.: The CIA under John F. Kennedy with author Jim Johnston

Presented by Montgomery History at Connie Morella (Bethesda) Library

Author Jim Johnston will give a talk on his new book Murder, Inc., which tells the story of the CIA’s assassination operations under Kennedy up to his own assassination and beyond. The presentation will be followed by a Q & A and book signing for attendees who bring their own copy of the book.

This event is free and open to the public!

James H. Johnston was a lawyer for the Senate Intelligence Committee in 1975, which investigated and first reported on the Castro assassination plots and their relation to Kennedy’s murder. Johnston examines how the CIA steered the Warren Commission and later investigations away from connecting its own assassination operations to Kennedy’s murder. He also looks at the effect this strategy had on the Warren Commission’s conclusions that assassin Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and that there was no foreign conspiracy.
