IN THE EYE OF HISTORY
Disclosures in
the JFK Assassination Medical Evidence
by William Law
with Allan Eaglesham
|
Several
years ago, William Matson Law set out on a personal quest to
reach an understanding of the circumstances underpinning the
assassination of John F. Kennedy. His investigation began with
a key component of the events of November 22, 1963, and the days
that followed: the autopsy on the president's body at the National
Naval Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland. He contacted those
who were involved at Bethesda in various aspects of the aftermath
of the assassination; In the Eye of History: Disclosures in
the JFK Assassination Medical Evidence comprises "conversations" with
eight individuals who agreed to talk:
- Dennis David
- Paul O'Connor
- James Jenkins
- Jerrol Custer
- Saundra Spencer
- Ex-FBI Special Agents James Sibert and Frances
O'Neill
- Harold
Rydberg
For
the first time these eyewitnesses relate their stories comprehensively
in their own words. Law allows them to tell it as they remember
it without attempting to fit any pro- or anti-conspiracy agenda.
The reader is the judge of these eyewitness accounts and their
implications.

Interview by Walt Brown
, editor Deep Politics Quarterly
Then there are the books
which dig until they hit absolute bedrock and the shovel can
go no farther until government archives spill forth their treasures...if
ever.In the Eye of History:
Disclosures in the JFK Assassination Medical Evidence by William Matson Law with Allan Eaglesham, is, to date, this year's runaway winner of the "best dig to be published" award.The book is just a sweet
read, and a page-turner, to use the Times Book Review
cliché, as it chronicles interviews, recorded on audio-
or video-tape over the last several years, with as many "Bethesda" autopsy
people as are still alive -- and willing to talk.It also takes us for
the first real in-depth look at two particular Bethesda witnesses:
James Sibert and Francis X. O'Neill, as well as capturing the
thoughts and feelings of tangential participants, medical illustrator
Harold A. "Skip" Rydberg and NPIC film technician Saundra
K. Spencer, who gave an amazing deposition to the ARRB.

"...before I left Dealey Plaza that evening, I decided
to delve as deeply as I possibly could into John Kennedy's murder,
beginning with the men who had been present at his autopsy. What
I learned took me down dark, cobwebbed hallways of an alternative
history, not the one that was taught to my generation and is
told to our children, but one that is glimpsed only by those
who dare to look beyond the official version of the events of
that terrible November weekend in 1963."
--William M. Law

WILLIAM LAW's interest in the Kennedy assassination
began in 1975 with the showing of Abraham Zapruder's 26-second
home movie of the event on Geraldo Rivera's Goodnight America
program. Several years later, after reading David Lifton's book
Best Evidence, Law began researching Kennedy's murder.
Results of that research have appeared in the books November
Patriots by Constance Kritzberg and Larry Hancock, JFK:
The Medical Evidence Reference by Vincent Palamara, Murder
In Dealey Plaza edited by James Fetzer, and Paris Flammonde's
forthcoming opus An Encyclopedic Narrative and Historical
and Personal Perspective on The Kennedy Coup d'État.
Law has written for the research periodicals the Kennedy Assassination
Chronicles and the Dealey Plaza Echo, is producer
of the forthcoming DVD The Gathering, and currently serves
as a consultant to film director Brian McKenna for his upcoming
documentary Killing Kennedy. He lives with his family
in Central Oregon.
