Testimonials for 'JFK-Marked For Death'
This book provides students of the case a breakdown of the various elements of the assassination. It’s done in an easy to understand manner that beneficial for the longtime students a, as well as, the novice. I’ve been studying the case since 1980 – and yet I found aspects of the case that I’ve not heard previously. Gary & Tim did an excellent job in presenting the reality of what occurred on November 22, 1963 and the information that has come forward since.
I was thoroughly captivated reading “JFK – Marked for Death!” Authors Gary Fannin and Tim Brennan, like Woodward and Bernstein before them have proven fearless and relentless in their quest for the truth regarding the events surrounding the malicious and meticulously planned execution of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Don’t waste your time hoping for the truth with anything that may ever be released by our Government. The information is so heavily redacted as to render it useless, any and all damning information has long been destroyed and the overwhelming majority of those involved are no longer living. If you really want the truth, read this compelling study of who stood to lose had JFK lived, and rest assured that some subset of those discussed within were absolutely, unequivocally involved. This is one of the most important books on JFK’s death ever written. If there is a God, it will help us understand once and for all who the culprits were and may bring some closure to the darkest day in American history.

Gary Fannin has an insatiable appetite for nibbles, bites and gulps of data related to the JFK assassination. He is relentless and scrupulous in his wording and, I am sure, can document anything he has written here with his co-author, Tim Brennan. The skill in putting this much information into a limited number of pages requires a sharp cutting tool to excise out the unessential. It also requires a superb vocabulary to fully describe details in a way where the book still flows, while still delivering sufficient information to be complete. For a relative new-comer to the “JFK thing” this is a great book. For the senior researchers it has a consolidation of previously hazy data that makes our previous suspicions feel more proven-out. The photos are clear and germane. The ONLY constructive observation would be that I sorely missed having an index to cross-reference my previous knowledge with what I would hope to find in the captivating pages of the book, as written. Thanks, Gary and Tim for an artfully prepared and comfortably presented work.
The authors have presented a plausible, fact backed account of what has been the greatest unsolved murder mystery in American history.
I would encourage anyone who has an interest in the history of our nation to read this book.
Other than books by Judyth Baker, have I read a book on the assassination so well backed up by photos/documents. I am not a total newbie in studying the death of our President, however this book has me floored. I rarely review a book having not yet read the entire book, but I just felt a need to communicate, “read this book”. For me it is up there with ‘JFK And The Unspeakable’ which I have read multiple times. I am close to 70 and I fear that future Americans will forget the man I still call my President. Operation Mockingbird which I believe still goes on has been so incredibly successful in suppressing the truth that the truth will never be mainstream. I recently told my wife that on my tombstone please put ‘Do not forget John Kennedy’; this book hopefully will help the nation to not forget

Kudos to authors Fannin & Brennan for their exhaustive research into every party involved in the crime of the century. They’ve presented their argument clearly and comprehensively for the casual reader and the academic alike. Whether you are new to the topic or curious about recently uncovered evidence, look no further. JFK Marked For Death is now your essential go-to. Each chapter is a gold mine, and every nugget reveals a wonder that will have you saying, “Now, it all makes perfect sense.” I highly recommend this book!

Authors Fannin and Brennan have done a phenomenal job at producing this volume on the Kennedy Assassination and the events pre and post murder of the President. I have read and reviewed more than 100 books on the subject matter. Few books have come close to the standard I found exceptional in the reading of this book.
First, I’ll tell you what i like about it.
The book is easy reading:
Large font type and everyday vocabulary make this book an easy read for any age group.
Great Layout!
I love having supporting evidence right next to a statement. Footnotes and references are displayed directly with the material which is being referenced. No page shuffling necessary to look up a reference.
Chapters are concise and factual without a lot of fluff and filler.
Well-Illustrated!
Nothing is more frustrating than a book with no pictures. Typically, people’s names and functions are written in print with no photographic backup. This leads to more wasted time googling names and events to find a picture of a situation or individual. Not so with this book, the pictures are right there next to the text.
Detail!
The authors spent a tremendous amount of time explaining events in detail. No glossing over stuff. No generalizations.
They tell you everything you need to know without overdoing it and inducing sleep.
The book is captivating!
As I read the book and put it down for the night, I was anxious to pick it up again and dive into it.
Substance!
The book is loaded with information critical to understanding the magnitude and government involvement in the execution of our own Chief Officer.
Textbook Quality!
This book is so well written that I feel it should be given consideration as a history textbook. The easy read and exceptional detail are worthy of classroom distribution. If I served on any educational boards this book would be my No. 1 selection for teaching the cold war history of our country.
Downsides?
My only regret is that this book isn’t in hardcover. Just a little quirk of mine. It deserves hardcover status and treatment as such. I could find a special place in the library for it.
Nice work Gary Fannin and Tim Brennan you get a 10 out of 10 from me.

Authors Gary Fannin and Tim Brennan are to be commended for compiling such a rich body of valuable information pertaining to the JFK assassination and the people and agencies who had the means, motive, and opportunity to assassinate JFK and deceive America with the cover-up. As with his first book, 'The Innocence of Oswald: 50+ Years of Lies, Deception & Deceit in the Murders of President John F. Kennedy & Officer J.D. Tippit,' Gary and Tim make an impressively solid case for both conspiracy and cover-up in the Kennedy assassination. Very well written, conceived and researched, this book is a must have for anyone even remotely interested in the crime of the 20th century. I salute Gary and Tim for their passion and direct approach to the evidence in this important case.
