From Publishers Weekly
McClellan's overwrought conspiracy theory claims that Lyndon Johnson-motivated by power lust, fear of being dropped from the Kennedy ticket, and the need to cover up various scandals-masterminded Kennedy's assassination with the help of his evil "superlawyer" Ed Clark. But his evidence is meager and murky, even by the standards of Kennedy conspiracy scholarship. The main exhibit is a smudged partial fingerprint from Oswald's sniper's nest that may or may not belong to a Johnson associate, depending on which fingerprint expert you ask. Otherwise McClellan relies on what he heard during his years at Clark's law firm-e.g., a partner told him that Clark arranged the assassination-and the description of scenes in which a "a fixed stare," vague, unspoken understandings, and "code words" proved that Johnson and Clark were conspiring. Sample accusations include: "I knew Clark was admitting to the payoff for the assassination even though he never said he received a payoff for assassinating Kennedy...." The book offers many detailed accounts of conspiratorial meetings that turn out to be not fact but "faction" or "journalistic novelization"-that is, conjecture designed to distract readers from the lack of evidence. McClellan styles the assassination as the defeat of Camelot by Texas's sleazy nexus of dirty politicians, slick lawyers and oil money; the unmasking of Johnson, the personification of such back-room power politics, therefore promises a public "emotional purging" leading to the renewal of democracy. His confusingly structured, evasively argued, often nonsensical theories attest to the crime's continuing potency as a symbol of America's mythic heart of darkness. Photos.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Blood, Money & Power: How L.B.J. Killed J.F.K. (Hardcover) November 22, 1963: As a senior history major at The University or Texas, I was not a supporter of JFK nor was I interested in his scheduled visit to Austin later that day. Then the unthinkable occurred - the assassination of OUR President. Fall, 1972: a history professor at Southwest Texas State (LBJ's college) loaned me a book to read concerning the Zapruder film. The Warren Commission was not really satisfactory, and after reading the book about the assassination and the "magic bullet" my doubts increased. October, 2003: BLOOD, MONEY AND POWER - is this what really happened? Did LBJ kill JFK?? This book is an intriguing and disturbing presentation of that possiblity. There are incredible revelations made by the author, Barr McClellan. Names are named, events are detailed, and the motive (of course) is obvious. It's time to finally uncover the truth. No man is above the law. Let's "recall" LBJ's legacy through the proper legal channels to determine his guilt or innocence. You don't have to be a conspiracy nut to read this book. It's a "good un".
