With malice

An exhaustive examination of the murder of a Dallas policeman 45 minutes after JFK was shot. The author, a journalist, puts together what he calls a "second-by-second account" of the day of the murder, addressing questions such as whether Tippit was a co-conspirator, how Oswald and Tippit happened to meet shortly after the assassination, whether the two men knew Jack Ruby, and if it was really Oswald who shot Tippit. Included are 150-plus photographs, 16 color plates, and 182 documents such as arrest and autopsy reports and other internal police department reports. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
