Its fresh, groundbreaking research documents how the blow~back from the Kennedys' actions against the Mafia and Cuba led to the death of JFK. Ultimate Sacrifice provides the final word on why the government had to cover up so much information for so long." ~William W. Turner, former FBI Agent and author of Deadly Secrets~ ~For more than four decades since his death in 1963, John F. Kennedy has captured the imagination of the American people. Myth and conjecture have swirled around him, his life and his work. Nonetheless, the secret with the most profound and catastrophic impact on America has remained hidden. Ultimate Sacrifice reveals this secret for the first time, providing the missing piece to one of the great puzzles of post~war America, the truth behind the events surrounding John F. Kennedy's assassination on November 22,1963. Ultimate Sacrifice reveals a previously unknown "Plan for a Coup in Cuba'; authorized by John Kennedy and run by the President's brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy. The CIA's code name for their supporting role in the coup plan~AMWORLD~has never previously' surfaced in any book, article, or government investigation, consistent with one of the most secret covert operations in our history. And with that secrecy came tragedy. A plan as audacious as this engineered coup and its follow~up invasion by "invited" US forces, would have been a severe threat to national security if revealed in the post~Cuban Missile Crisis environment. And when Carlos Marcello, Santo Trafficante, and Johnny Roselli~three powerful Mafia dons who would have gone to any lengths to rid themselves of what they saw to be persecution by the mob~busting Attorney General~learned of this plan, they realized that the government would go to equally audacious lengths in order to avoid revealing it to the public. With that knowledge to protect them, the seeds of a President's demise were sown. Seventeen years in the making~drawing on exclusive interviews with members of the Kennedy administration and of the Kennedys' Cuban inner circle among dozens of others, complementing the information mined from thousands of recently declassified files, Ultimate Sacrifice is a landmark in historical research, compilation, and reporting, meticulously assembling all of the formerly out~of~reach or concealed pieces, to explain for the first time, the full and detailed context which gave rise to the Kennedy assassination. In doing so, authors Lamar Waldron and Thom Hartmann not only shed new light on one of the most tumultuous eras in modern American history, but definitively solve the mystery of its greatest political tragedy.
