Reviews
Few books are as gripping in their narrative, or as telling in their fine detail. This is a book that will make you weep. Powerfully, Reclaiming History evokes the confusion and awful fatefulness, a feeling of the world ripped asunder, that gripped millions at the time., Absent a trial proving [Oswald's] guilt, Bugliosi has offered the next best thing: a prosecutor's air-tight brief that leaves no reasonable doubt. Bugliosi is right that this case is, and ought to be, closed., Reclaiming History is the final word on the Kennedy assassination. It sets out to recapture the assassination from the conspiracy theorists, and succeeds so triumphantly that only the most demented reader could doubt its conclusions., At last, someone has done it, put all the pieces together. With this work, Bugliosi has definitively explained the murder that recalibrated modern America. It is a book for the ages., What Bugliosi has done is a public service. This book should be applauded....More than a critical analysis...[it] is the literary equivalent of World War I, a kind of trench warfare for the mind., This encyclopedic work is a bargain. Mr. Bugliosi's verve for setting the record straight is unequaled and will probably never be surpassed...Unlike any other book on the assassination ever produced by a single author, Reclaiming History [should] probably be shelved along-side the two massive federal investigations of the assassination., With indignation crackling on every page...Bugliosi aims to redress, once and for all, what he sees as an outrageous imbalance between the books that deal with the assassination responsibly and those that do not.... [Bugliosi's] richly textured book is as engrossing as it is convincing.
