Fitzgerald Books

J.T. Fitzgerald Is a great author! I loved his first book too! This book was a bit more like a mystery/action book. I like to picture the story happening in my mind and with the way J.T.Fitzgerald writes that's easy because hes adds all the good detail! I'm looking forward to another CIA/Military war book he comes out with. If yu enjoy a nice action/mystery book this one is great!

For the generations that did not exist during the Vietnam era, this book weeds out the rumors and tells the true story of what this war was really like. I could not put it down, I read it in one night. I did not think that J.T. Fitzgerald could ever top his first book Operation Stagecoach Red but I was delightfully surprised! Traitor in White Laces is the perfect sequel and a thrilling ride!

I got this book when I was ten and I think I read this book two or three times a year. It's a gorgeous story with amazing characters and writing. I love the 'Ted and Wanda' storyline and 'Dr. Pepper.' Old Pepper is a great character. There isnt a single word of this book that I dont adore. I recommend it to both kids and adults. Everyone can get something out of this book. Out of all the books I've ever read in my entire life (and boy are there a lot of them) it definitely makes the top 10 list.

When I was in 5th grade, my cronies and I discovered this book in our school library and quickly found the 'kissing scene.' The book became instantly popular to all the girls in our class after word got out. Aside from that, I have read this book many times since then and found it to be very well written, and worthy of its award as Notable Book. I have been making a list of favourite books I read as a little girl, and this is one of the first on the list. And Since I was a complete tomboy at age 10, this book isn't just for sissies...it has humour, and a few suspenseful scenes (one resulting in physical injury...what more can you ask for?)

The Warren Commission, in late 1964, issued its 888-page Final Report on the assassination of President John Kennedy. The Commission concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald had murdered JFK, and in so doing, had acted alone. Also within that report rests one of the most controversial so-called "theories" in history -- the "Single-Bullet Theory".

The "SBT" has been battered from proverbial pillar to post by conspiracy theorists for multiple decades now since JFK's tragic death in 1963. And it's been an undeserved bad rap, too, in my opinion. Because the SBT is almost certainly the only conceivable (accurate) scenario to explain the injuries sustained by victims JFK and John B. Connally in Dallas on 11/22/63.

Lacking the SBT, so many weird and incredible and, frankly, impossible, things would have had to have taken place in Dealey Plaza, it would make a Max Fleischer cartoon seem believable by comparison.

Many people ("CTers" by specific categorization) seem to think that the holes in JFK's clothing are rock-solid "proof" that the Single-Bullet Conclusion is worthy of only disdain. They'll claim the holes in Kennedy's coat and shirt were "too low" to accommodate the accuracy of the SBT scenario.

But, it must be remembered that the JFK jacket hole in dispute is a hole on the BACK side of President Kennedy's suit jacket, not the front side (with the front part of the jacket, of course, much more likely to move around with ease).

Therefore, since the portion of the coat/jacket on JFK's back isn't going to be moving around like a coat lapel at the front, the coat hole lining up with the hole in his shirt is understandable, IMO.

The bottom line of this argument is -- CTers have taken one single aspect of the "whole" that makes up the SBT scenario (JFK's clothing holes on his back) and then they have seemingly chosen to ignore all of the surrounding evidence that says the SBT is the ONLY way the shooting could have occurred.

Plus -- I'm thinking it's quite possible that JFK's back brace might have aided in keeping those two layers of clothing (shirt and jacket) TOGETHER to some extent...more so than if he wasn't wearing the back brace. I'll admit straight away, that this is just simply a wild guess on my part (but CTers do nothing BUT "guess" 24/7 re. many aspects of the JFK murder case; so I suppose an LNer can do it on occasion as well). But it seems within the bounds of reason. I've never worn a brace like that on my back, and don't know for sure how it might "bind" or affect the clothing of the wearer of such an item. But it might have had some effect on the clothing to a small, or not so small, degree.

But a discrepancy in the President's clothing holes pales in overall significance when compared to the things that are "out of whack" re. the pro-CT side of the SBT equation.

Things like:

Disappearing bullets.....Pictures that have to be faked.....Three autopsy doctors who have to be falsifying official documents.....And three gunmen performing the impossible at-the-same-time task of shooting JFK in such a way to even come remotely close to being able to say (later) that these THREE shots all "line up" to a "Single Bullet" possibility.

Even WITH clothing holes that cannot be completely reconciled to the square inch to align with JFK's back (skin) wound, the SBT is far, far ahead of ANY conspiracy-slanted substitute for it. In fact, I've yet to hear a good, sound, logical, based-on-the-evidence "CT substitute" for the Single-Bullet Theory. I wonder if we'll ever be treated to such a revelation by conspiracy authors/promoters? Unlikely to happen, IMO. Because no such "believable" CT version of the shooting exists.

CTers, IMO, still haven't a leg to wobble on with respect to the SBT. Because virtually everything "fits" re. the SBT for the Lone-Assassin side.

But CTers, in trying to debunk the Single-Bullet Theory, are attempting to do so, even though the conspiracists have......

1.) No bullets where there most certainly ought to be bullets found (and THREE of them at that, discounting CE399 of course; because no self-respecting CTer would dare think that that bullet was ACTUALLY part of the "real" shooting).

2.) No damage inside JFK's back/neck where there certainly should be some degree of damage if two whole bullets had just stopped inside the President as if they'd hit a brick wall.

3.) No good, rooted-in-logic explanation for why Governor Connally's back wound was "oblong" in shape if that wound had been caused by an unimpeded bullet in flight.

4.) No real good explanation (at all) as to why on Earth those two missiles just stopped inside Jack Kennedy's body without exiting. (Two "duds"? Or two "misfires"? TWO?? Come now. What are the odds?)

5.) Not a single witness saying they saw an additional non-Oswald shooter.

6.) No proof whatsoever that the Official Autopsy Report has been "faked" or "phonied up" by the autopsy doctors (all three of whom signed off on said document).

7.) No proof at all that the autopsy photos and X-rays have been "faked" in some manner to "hide" the true wounds.

8.) No proof at all to show that the 19 different HSCA panel members who authenticated the autopsy photos/X-rays all lied when they said this in 1978:

"From the reports of the experts' analyses of the autopsy photographs and X-rays, the evidence indicates that the autopsy photographs and X-rays were taken of President Kennedy at the time of his autopsy and that they had not been altered in any manner."

9.) And to repeat a variation of #1 just for amplification -- WHERE DID ALL THOSE BULLETS GO? WHERE? Can some conspiracy theorist please provide the waiting world with the answer to that very important question? I, for one, would certainly like to hear it. It should be an amusing answer, if nothing else.

I know what your thinking, another book on the JFK Assassination and another book for the conspiracy theory, right? Yes and no, yes it is another book on the Assassination and no it is not the typical book; in fact this book has answers not found anywhere else.

Having read the author's first book, this follow-up is nothing short of astounding. What the author does here is simply take the evidence that has been used by the Warren commission and show you how they relate to the conclusions. What the book doesn't do is spin anything, everything is right in front of you and you get to decide what is fact what is fiction. Judging form what I have read this may not be as easy at it first appears.

You may think you have read or heard everything by now, but keep an open mind and delve into the heart of the book and you may find a few eye openers here and there. It is not just another book; it is so much more and if you are an assassination expert or beginner this book will have you talking, thinking and pondering the issue and evidence all over again.

What at first seems to be just another "JFK - what really happened book", turns out to be one of the best investigative pieces of research I've seen on the subject.

The power lies in the questions. The realization that something really corrupt and unspeakable happened in this country is hammered home with a simple yes or no answer determined by indepth research. The implications of those involved is chilling.

I've seen the JKF movies and read a few books and remember when the asassination was announced. Information I've never heard before is presented in this book.

"What Really Happend", brings up facts and answers questions that will send chills up your spine. Eye opening information presented in a concise and chronological format making a complex subject and course of events more comprehensible.

This is a hard-to-find book, but well worth the search.

this book is a simple question and answer book.
it dosen't go into the assassination of JFK, but rather it answers the questions of who was this guy and what was his role.
you learn about when ex-President Jimmy Carter was giving a speech on the JFK assassination and then the tv sound just went mute. the book answers what Jackie was actually reaching over the car for and who people like Lee Bowers were and what Richard Nixon and J Edgar Hoover had to do with the JFK assassination.

this is a very simple book, but it's very informative and very well written.
has numerous photos of some of the people mentioned in the book.

great book.

If you liked Laura in the Little House book series, then you will like Gina in this delightful story. You will learn about how things were in New York City during the late 1800's for an Italian immigrant named Gina. I highly recommend this book if you enjoy learning about this time period in our history.

The colors in this book make my kids busy for hours on end! Parents, if you like me and need some time with your spouse then GET THIS BOOK!!! the words are very easy to learn and my kids love for me to read to them and gives us a chance to get together after a hard days work. If you havnt noticed that a lot of the books that are great and that are spongebob are by Mr. Terry Collins him self. I have had the pleasure of meeting this kind hearted man and now i have a signed copy of all my spongebob book colletion! if you have the means, i HIGHLY suggest you look up what else this very talented writer has done.

Zack gets a package from his uncle who lives in Florida. Eagerly he opens it to find an alligator key chain. He takes it to the sink to wash it and it comes to life, growing to the size of the sink. The gator says her name is Bridget and Zack puts her into the bath where she showers and grows even more. Soon she is a full-sized girl gator and she is hungry. Zack feeds her all the food in the fridge, then they go out to play, amazing Zack's friends. As the day draws to a close, Bridget starts to shrink and by the time they get home, she is back to her key chain size. "Don't forget to water me tomorrow," she says.

This book will take your toddler on a terrific ride to where only imagination can go. My son Devon and I have been looking at the pictures for over a year, but now that he is almost three and knows all his letters, I am reading with my finger under the words and he is following along and he still loves Bridget's story as much now as he did when we weren't working so hard on the words.

This is a book for beginning readers. The words are simple, grammar too. Bridget's story is sure to keep your toddler interested, so much better than the "See Spot Run" kind of early readers. If you want your child reading before Kindergarten, and I do, then this book and books like it are very good additions to your toddlers reading arsenal.

This book is a delight -- it is a great book for emergent readers, but it is more fun to read out loud. Zack's alligator has attitude -- and the giggles from my daughter made it a book we had to add to her personal library.

Zelda Fitzgerald is perhaps one of the most interesting wives of a famous historical figure in history. Not only was Zelda a highly energetic, flirtatious woman, she was a ballerina, a writer, and an artist. Her art is perhaps the least known piece of her work and is presented here excellently.

Zelda's art is reflective of various styles, as the text acknowledges. Her undated work is hard to place because of this. Her work is reminiscent of Pablo Picasso, Georgia O'Keefe, and Miro in unison. It is also reflective of her life; Zelda painted gruesome dancers and mothers with children, and glorious cityscapes and flowers as well as strangely formed paper dolls and scenes from the Bible, fairy tales, and Alice and Wonderland.

It is too bad that much of Zelda's work does not survive due to being misplaced or destroyed both by Zelda and her family.

The writing analyzes Zelda's artwork quite well. There is text between the presentation of paintings, which seems awkward and yet well placed because the ending presents the painting that follow. The biography is objective and yet warm and biased as well as it was written by Zelda's grandchild.

Overall, this is a well made book that Zelda Fitzgerald fans must read.

This is a relatively new yet hard to find book, but once you've got it I promise it will hold a prestigious place on your bookshelf. The book is filled with high quality photos of every known piece of Zelda's artwork and sketches, plus a mini-bio of Zelda complete with pictures and words from Eleanor Lanahan, Zelda's granddaughter. For those who are interested in art, Zelda Fitzgerald's pieces are enthralling, bewitching and at some extreme viewpoints even repulsive, especially her depictions of ballerinas and of a mother nursing her child. Her work mostly deals in fairytales and religion, as well as various "slices of life" in between. For everyone who is interested in Zelda's life, this is a can't-miss piece to her puzzle that you must find and enjoy.

This story is very small but also very touching. It provides a good lesson in helping people and animals and in priorities. I really look forward to reading this book to my class.

I bought this to use in my 6th grade reading classroom. It is excellent to use to teach reading skills such as main idea, author's purpose, or summarizing. I put it in a center and students have 10 minutes to use the book for an assignment. Since it is at a lower reading level, students have success in building skills to use in higher level texts.

This book is a good addition to the grade 1-6 classroom library.
