Johnson told a reporter that he didn’t believe the Warren Commission’s finding that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing President John F. Kennedy. Johnson thought Cuban president Fidel Castro was behind it. After all, Johnson said, Kennedy was running “a damned Murder, Inc., in the Caribbean,” giving Castro reason to retaliate.\u003cbr\u003e               \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMurder, Inc.\u003c\/i\u003e, tells the story of the CIA’s assassination operations under Kennedy up to his own assassination and beyond. James H. Johnston was a lawyer for the Senate Intelligence Committee in 1975, which investigated and first reported on the Castro assassination plots and their relation to Kennedy’s murder. Johnston examines how the CIA steered the Warren Commission and later investigations away from connecting its own assassination operations to Kennedy’s murder. He also looks at the effect this strategy had on the Warren Commission’s conclusions that assassin Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and that there was no foreign conspiracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sourced from in-depth research into the “secret files” declassified by the JFK Records Act and now stored in the National Archives and Records Administration, \u003ci\u003eMurder, Inc.\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to narrate in detail the CIA’s plots against Castro and to delve into the question of why retaliation by Castro against Kennedy was not investigated.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e 1.  Castro, Oswald, and Kennedy\u003cbr\u003e 2.  The Bay of Pigs\u003cbr\u003e 3.  Mongoose\u003cbr\u003e 4.  Missile Crisis\u003cbr\u003e 5.  The Brigade\u003cbr\u003e 6.  Fidel and Hidell\u003cbr\u003e 7.  Oswald in New Orleans\u003cbr\u003e 8.  Assassins and Spies\u003cbr\u003e 9.  AMLASH\u003cbr\u003e 10.  Mexico City\u003cbr\u003e 11.  Hubris\u003cbr\u003e 12.  Carpe Diem\u003cbr\u003e 13.  The Plot Accelerates\u003cbr\u003e 14.  The Last Weekend\u003cbr\u003e 15.  A Barrier Once Removed\u003cbr\u003e 16.  John Kennedy and the Rogue Elephant\u003cbr\u003e 17.  Washington, Paris, and Dallas\u003cbr\u003e 18.  November 22, 1963, in Dallas\u003cbr\u003e 19.  November 22, 1963, in Other Cities\u003cbr\u003e 20.  The Days After\u003cbr\u003e 21.  An Investigation Hobbled from the Start\u003cbr\u003e 22.  The Investigation Sputters On\u003cbr\u003e 23.  Regime Change\u003cbr\u003e 24.  The Warren Report\u003cbr\u003e 25.  The Never-Ending Investigations\u003cbr\u003e 26.  John Kennedy and the CIA\u003cbr\u003e 27.  Lyndon Johnson and the CIA\u003cbr\u003e Appendix A.  Where It Might Have Led\u003cbr\u003e Appendix B.  Richard Helms's Testimony on the Assassination Investigation\u003cbr\u003e Appendix C.
