Stanley Marks--considered to be one of the most prescient, visionary researchers on the JFK assassination-described this work as "A nonfiction manual for the American of common sense, the agents of the FBI, CIA, Secret Service, the ABC, CBS, and NBC commentators, and newspaper columnists, interested in learning the deceit, deception, and duplicity practiced by the upholders of 'basic principles of justice,' the 'Warren Commission.'" Back in print now for the first time since 1969, it also includes commentaries on "the Clay Shaw trial in New Orleans, Sirhan Sirhan in Los Angeles, and Earl Ray in Memphis." While Marks' first book on the assassination, Murder Most Foul!, remains his most seminal work as well the most avant-garde in terms of stylistic approach, its format of over nine-hundred rapidly changing "questions and answers" can be a bit jarring. Although all of his books on the assassination contain fascinating, insightful observations, some consider Two Days of Infamy to be his most well-written work on the subject, due largely to its smooth narrative flow and literary presentation. The text expands upon many of the points first raised a year and a half earlier in Murder Most Foul!, as well as introducing fresh ideas and perspectives to the case. In this March 1969 text he was already using the term "conspirators" when referring to the assassins of JFK, RFK, and MLK, and he states unequivocally: "All three were murdered as the end result of three interrelated conspiracies," adding: "History has shown that an invisible coup d'état occurred when President Kennedy was murdered." In 1972, after the author Joachim Joesten learned of Stanley's work, he credited him with being one of the first American researchers who dared to use the word "coup" in this context: "To my knowledge, nobody but Jim Garrison and an obscure West Coast writer named Stanley J. Marks has ever endorsed before my unswerving contention that the murder of John F. Kennedy was nothing short of a camouflaged coup d'état." The renowned JFK scholar James DiEugenio recently referred to Marks as a "forgotten hero" and "buried gem." So much of where we are today is foreshadowed in the writing of Stan Marks: in particular, the fueling of racism and xenophobia, the attempted erosion of civil rights, and the empowerment of the oligarchy and its principal tool of control, the police state. Speaking directly to the readers of a future generation, in Two Days, he writes: "The balance of this small volume now attempts to enter the "dark world" that is slowly, oh, so slowly, being lit, although full light may take until the year 2038-if the "basic principles of American justice" have the strength to remain as principles guiding this long-suffering nation."

Informazioni sull’autore

A fearless author who was blacklisted by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), Stanley J. Marks was one of the first American researchers to draw a direct connection between the murders of JFK, MLK, and RFK. He published nineteen books on politics and religion, one of which received accolades from Arnold Toynbee and Herbert Marcuse. His first book, a bestseller titled The Bear that Walks Like a Man: A Diplomatic and Military Analysis of Soviet Russia (1943), was reviewed in over thirty mainstream newspapers and received glowing praise from John Cudahy, President Roosevelt's former ambassador to Poland and Belgium. While Marks was researching his book on Russia he received assistance from Secretary of State Cordell Hull, "the father of the United Nations," who gave Marks direct access to State Department files. In 1973, the JFK Library contacted Marks with a request to purchase Murder Most Foul! for their collection. And in 1979, the House of Representatives Select Subcommittee on Assassinations cited five of Marks' assassination-related titles (including Murder Most Foul! and Two Days of Infamy) in its report.

Rob Couteau's work as a literary critic, interviewer, and social commentator has been featured in books such as Gabriel Garcia Marquez's 'Love in the Time of Cholera' by Thomas Fahy, Conversations with Ray Bradbury edited by Steven Aggelis, Ghetto Images in Twentieth-Century American Literature by Tyrone Simpson, and David Cohen's Forgotten Millions, a book about the homeless mentally ill. His published interviews include conversations with Ray Bradbury, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Justin Kaplan, Last Exit to Brooklyn novelist Hubert Selby, Simon & Schuster editor Michael Korda, LSD discoverer Dr. Albert Hofmann, Picasso's model and muse Sylvette David, Nabokov biographer Robert Roper, music producer Danny Goldberg, poet and publisher Ed Foster, and historian Philip Willan, author Puppetmasters: The Political Use of Terrorism in Italy. In his early years as a writer, Couteau won the North American Essay Award, a competition sponsored by the American Humanist Association. His books, including the novel Doctor Pluss, the anthology More Collected Couteau, and the poetry collection The Sleeping Mermaid, have been praised in the Midwest Book Review, Publishers Weekly, and Evergreen Review. His essays and interviews on the Sixties assassinations have been featured at the Kennedys and King website, and he has appeared several times as a guest on Len Osanic's Black Op Radio.

Instructions for revocation

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)

Instructions for revocation

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Criteria for exclusion or expiry

The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
