This note is to
let everyone know that I have this year virtually rewritten and
updated my book Not
in Your Lifetime (né,
long ago and over my protest,Conspiracy), on the Kennedy assassination. It
will be published on Tuesday, October 1, by Open Road Media in the U.S., and on
October 10 by Headline in the UK.
In the publishers’ view, Not in Your Lifetime has earned a lasting place and
should be republished on this 50th anniversary. Realizing, though, that it
needed a thorough revamp, I set to work (with Robbyn) for what
turned out to be many months. I have honed this new edition, filling in
previously unavailable detail and making amendments, shedding material that has
been discredited or no longer seems worth space in the book – and adding
elements that do justify inclusion.
Perhaps most significant is a new
final chapter that amounts to an overview of the case as things stand in
2013. This includes a section covering “admissions” – claims of
involvement in the assassination, their credibility or otherwise.
Most interesting, perhaps, is a
new interview I recently conducted of a Cuban exile in Florida. In extended
conversations , over two days, he identified a fellow Cuban,
once his best friend, who – he said he learned - “participated”
in the assassination. This especially, I expect, will stir
discussion.
Heartening reviews the book has received
include:
§ (On
this new 2013 edition) “Not in Your Lifetime is the best single
analysis of what we know and what we don’t know about JFK’s assassination.
If you have time to read only one book on the assassination, this is it. By
far. – Robert Blakey, former Chief Counsel, House Committee on
Assassinations
§ “An
awesome work…with the power of a plea as from Zola for justice” —Los Angeles
Times
§ “An
important piece of work…exceptionally well written, with all the tone and
tension of a thriller. . . A book that must be read” —New York Review of Books
§ “The
closest we have to that literary chimera, a definitive work on the events
in Dallas.”
Not in Your Lifetime will

Hello, Bill. Big fan of your hard and brave work.
Not sure why you're looking forward to the new version of Summers's book. The original "Conspiracy" was a masterwork, imho. One of the 10 best books on Dallas. But the mid-90s revision, "Not in Your Lifetime," was castrated. Summers himself backed off on conspiracy in numerous interviews, while at the same time defaming JFK and RFK, sort of taking the "they weren't worth much anyway" Gus Russo approach.
I dearly hope in this third incarnation that Summers regains his sanity.
Keep up the great work!
