About this listen

On November 22, 1963, Dr. Charles Crenshaw, an accomplished surgeon, tried to save John F. Kennedy's life - and then days later, the life of the alleged assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald. His gripping, firsthand account contradicts the Warren Commission and years of public misperception, and illuminates a chapter in American history long cloaked in conspiracy. Writing with eye-opening immediacy, Dr. Crenshaw takes listeners into the emergency room to share the critical events at Parkland Hospital as he lived them. Now updated, his searing testimony punctures myths and shatters a cover-up of massive proportions.

Too much inflammatory language

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Yes.

For me, the main issue raised by Dr. Crenshaw is the actual wounds to President Kennedy’s body. Dr. Crenshaw’s eyewitness account needs unqualified corroboration from the other doctors and nurses in the operating room at the time. Clear, concise, and unqualified corroboration will place the Bethesda autopsy results in doubt and require an investigation. Unfortunately, as Dr. Crenshaw pointed out, and there is a historical record of, the Federal, State, and Local law enforcement authorities allowed contamination of the crime scene, pollution of the physical evidence, and improper handling of the victim (President Kennedy). Because of these egregious mistakes we will probably never know the truth of what happened.I do think the Warren Commission was proving a theory they had already decided was fact.

Would you recommend JFK Has Been Shot to your friends? Why or why not?

I do recommend this book. The reader (or listener) just needs to ignore the inflammatory language and listen for the issue and testimony.

Which character – as performed by James C. Lewis – was your favorite?

Unimportant and irrelevant.

Was JFK Has Been Shot worth the listening time?

Yes. Fortunately, it was mostly brief and too the point.

Any additional comments?

Fantastic!!

If you’re a fan of the JFK assassination and want to know the real truth from someone who was there in the room on November 22, 1963, then this book is EVERYTHING! So well written, factual, and fascinating. God bless Dr. Crenshaw and his courage and moral fortitude.

Beautifully done

Nothing better than eye witness testimony from a credible witness/participant. This book educates and offends. Be prepared to learn what your history class didn't teach, and expect to be disgusted by this government's actions.

Kinda important.

Conspiracists would be a lot more successful in their quest to change minds if they simply shut up a second and handed this silently to some WC-defender dudebros and let it speak for itself. Might lighten the stigma of silliness you've brought on yourselves for so long. It's only occasionally well-deserved, but that old saw about one batnuts insane apple re the whole bunch... This is clear, concise, objective, and impactful. Not a lot of venturing out on any limbs here. It's a good look, overall. If you have to go proselytizing, go with this as your tract, it might help your case more than.... well, your case.

Excellent Book

This book is well written by the Medical Professionals , who were there at the bedside and know exactly where the entrance wounds were. The Warren Commission lied to us. I truly believe that physicians and others were threatened not to talk.

First Hand Knowledge

Dr Crenshaw was a critical source of first hand medical and emergency room testimony provided to the HSCA in 1978. Therefore one must consider his account as a viable assessment of the assassination events as they originated. Great listen. I highly recommend listening.
