It might not be in your lifetime'', said the Chief Justice of the United States when asked whether the files on the assassination of President Kennedy would be made public. If the President was killed by a lone gunman, as the first official enquiry claimed, why can we still not see all relevant records?

Fifty years on and the murder of the century remains unsolved. Drawing on thirty years of investigation, Anthony Summers examines the case in compelling, forensic detail. He analyses the evidence for Oswald''s guilt, the Mafia connection, and the links to Cuba and reveals, for the first time, a plausible admission of involvement. This updated edition of Not in Your Lifetime is the most definitive account of one of the most intractable mystery mysteries of our time.

New York Times-Bestselling Authors: An “outstanding” accountof the admiral scapegoated for the Pearl Harbor disaster—and the long effort to clear his name (Christian Science Monitor).   In this book, the authors of The Eleventh Day, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, unravel the mysteries of Pearl Harbor to expose the scapegoating of the admiral in command the day 2,000 Americans died, report on the fight to restore his lost honor—and clear President Franklin D. Roosevelt of the charge that he knew the attack was coming.   In the aftermath of the devastating 1941 bombing, Admiral Husband Kimmel, Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Fleet, was relieved of command, accused of negligence and dereliction of duty—publicly disgraced. But the admiral defended his actions through eight investigations and for the rest of his long life. The evidence against him was less than solid. High military and political officials had failed to provide Kimmel and his Army counterpart with vital intelligence. Later, to hide the biggest U.S. intelligence secret of the day, they covered it up.   Following the admiral’s death, his sons—both Navy veterans—fought on to clear his name, and now his grandsons continue the struggle. With unprecedented access to documents, diaries, and letters and the family’s cooperation, Summers and Swan’s search for the truth has taken them far beyond the Kimmel story—to explore claims of duplicity and betrayal in high places in Washington—in a provocative story of politics and war, of a man willing to sacrifice himself for his country only to be sacrificed himself.   “The most comprehensive, accurate, and thoroughly researched book of events leading up to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor ever written.” —Admiral James Lyons, former Commander-in-Chief, US Pacific Fleet   “Reads like a thriller.” —Publishers Weekly   “Meticulous, eloquent, and compelling—and hugely readable.” —Simon Winchester, New York Times-bestselling author of Knowing What We Know   “The amount of fresh research is deeply impressive.” —Douglas Brinkley, New York Times-bestselling author of Rightful Heritage  Includes forty black-and-white photos

The Profumo Affair was the political scandal of the twentieth century. The Tory War Minister, John Profumo, had been sleeping with the teenage Christine Keeler, while at the same time she had been sleeping with a Russian spy. The ensuing investigation revealed a secret world where titled men and prostitutes mixed, of orgies and S&M parties. The revelations rocked the British establishment to its core and lead to the resignation of the Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. And seemingly at the centre of it all was one man, Dr Stephen Ward.Stephen Ward was many things to many people. He was a successful osteopath to an establishment list of clients. He was a part-time artist who had drawn portraits of members of the Royal Family. To some he was a ''provider of popsies to rich people''; a man who knews lots of pretty girls of flexible morals. And finally, when the scandal came crashing down on the government, he was a scapegoat, put on trial and, ultimately, hounded to his death.The Secret Worlds of Stephen Ward is the definitive investigation into the Profumo scandal and the life and mysterious death of the man at its heart.
