Advance Praise for
FK and the Unspeakable
"JFK and the Unspeakable
is an exceptional achievement. Douglass has made the
strongest case so far in the JFK assassination literature as to the Who and the
Why of Dallas. The conjunction of unrestrained elements in cold war America­
defense industry elites, Pentagon planners, and the heads of the intelligence com­
munity-were the forces that led inexorably to Dallas and the assassination of
President John . Kennedy." -Gerald McKnight, author,
Breach of Trust: How the Warren Commission Failed the Nation and Why
"With penetrating insight and unswerving integrity, Douglass probes the funda­
mental truths. about JFK's assassination. If, he contends, humanity permits those
truths to slip into history ignored and undefined it does so at its own peril. By
far the most important book yet written on the subject."
-Gaeton Fonzi, former Staff Investigator,
U.S. House Select Committee on Assassinations
"Douglass presents, brilliantly, an unfamiliar yet thoroughly convincing account
of a series of creditable decisions of John . Kennedy-at odds with his initial
Cold War stance-that earned him the secret distrust and hatred of hard-liners
among the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the CIA. Did this suspicion and rage lead
directly to his murder by agents of these institutions, as Douglass concludes?
Many readers who are not yet convinced of this 'beyond reasonable doubt' by
Douglass's prosecutorial indictment will find themselves, perhaps-like myself­
for the first time, compelled to call for an authoritative criminal investigation.
Recent events give all the more urgency to learning what such an inquiry can
teach us about how, by whom, and in whose interests this country is run."
-Daniel Ellsberg, author,
Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers
"A remarkable book: devastating in its documented indictment of the dark forces
that have long deformed the public life of this country, while also illuminating
JFK's final vision of world peace and documenting beyond reasonable doubt the
unspeakable assassination of our last partially admirable president. This book
should be required reading for every American citizen."
-Richard Falk, Milbank Professor of International Law Emeritus,
Princeton University
"For forty years Jim Douglass has been our leading North American Catholic
theologian of peace. But this monumental work on the witness of JFK is some­
thing deeper still. Douglass is trying to get us to connect the dots between our 'cit­
izen denial,' the government's 'plausible deniability,' and the Unspeakable. This
book has the potential to change our narrative about our country, and our lives
as citizens and disciples. May we have ears to hear these truths, hearts able to
bear their burden, and hands willing to build a new story. "
-Ched Myers, author,
Binding the Strong Man: A Political Reading of Mark's Story of Jesus
"Jim Douglass's spiritual and eloquent telling of President John . Kennedy's
martyrdom for peace is a peerless and extraordinary historical contribution."
-Vincent]. Sal andria, author,
False Mystery: Essays on the Assassination of JFK
"This book's story of JFK and the 'unspeakable' is a stunning mix of political
thriller and meticulous scholarship .... Douglass's book offers a goldmine of
information and is indispensable for building prophetic spirit and hope."
-Mark Lewis Taylor, Princeton Theological Seminary
"This is the most thoroughly researched and documented book ever written
about President Kennedy's determination to prevent a nuclear war-and how
his success in that struggle cost him his life. And yet, Douglass leads us well
beyond the 'whodunit' dimensions of the story. He leads us straight into the
urgent implications for the present, into what Thomas Merton called the
'unspeakable.' In the shadows of our own time we begin to become better pre­
pared to break free of the violence that threatens all of us today."
-Don Mosley, co-founder, Jubilee Partners
"A remarkable achievement, outstanding even in an overcrowded field. It is pro­
foundly conceived, researched, considered, argued, and written .... Not all will
agree with his detailed speculation as to what happened in Dallas. But Douglass's
large picture of America's political agony is, I believe, incontrovertible and cer­
tain to last." -Peter Dale Scott, author,
Deep Politics and the Death of JFK
"Douglass writes with moral force, clarity, and the careful attention to detail
that will make
JFK and the Unspeakable
a sourcebook for many years to come,
for it provides us with the stubborn facts needed to rebuild a constitutional
democracy within the United States." -Marcus Raskin, co-founder,
Institute for Policy Studies
"Jim Douglass never ceases to surprise us, taking us where we do not expect or
often wish to go. In this fascinating work he links politics and spirituality. In re­
forming the past he reshapes the future, with hope, thank God."
-Bill]. Leonard, Dean and Professor of Church History,
Wake Forest University Divinity School
"Jim Douglass is a courageous and single-minded Christian whose convictions
are reflected in his life and witness. In this provocative new book, he brings
together history and spirituality at the intersection of one of the most pivotal­
and yet still mystifying-events of the past century. A myth-exploding story and
compelling read. "
"InJFK and the Unspeakable
Jim Douglass steadily guides us toward a strategy
of peace. By dramatizing JFK's remarkable conversion away from a U.S. foreign
policy based on military threat and force, Douglass holds forth hope for current
generations to similarly dismantle our addiction to war."
