This program features Gary Shaw, assassination expert and author of Cover-Up, and former CIA official John Stockwell. The first part of the program focuses on the nature of the complex conspiracy to shoot the president and on how many individuals and organizations fit into the puzzle: Oswald, Ruby, the CIA, Mafia, FBI, Secret Service, Navy and civilian medical personnel, local police, the Cuban exiles, Richard Nixon, Lyndon Johnson, and Fidel Castro. In the last part of the series John Stockwell and Gary Shaw discuss the cover-up of the assassination. They claim this took two forms. The first was part of the conspiracy of the actual shooting. The second was that carried out by the American ruling establishment as indicated by the activities of the Warren Commission, FBI, other organizations and individuals of the federal government, and the mass media. Additionally, they review the many new books which had been written at the time about the assassination.
