In this meticulously researched classic of the JFK conspiracy genre that Library Journal calls "sensational", Mark North argues convincingly that President John F. Kennedy died as the result of a plot masterminded by Louisiana Mafia chieftain Carlos Marcello - and, more importantly, that FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover learned early on about the plan but did nothing to stop it. Hoover warned no one - not the Dallas police, not the Secret Service. His motives, North suggests, stemmed from a fervent hatred of Kennedy and fear that the President would eventually fire him. He is documented as longing to succeed Vice President Lyndon Johnson - a man Hoover "controlled" due to blackmail and scandals. Hoover’s day-to-day running of the FBI, his strange personality, and his backroom dealings are brought to life using an extensive collection of press clippings, government documents, and other original sources.

Act of Treason is a must-listen for any citizen who believes the Warren Commission failed miserably in its attempt to solve one of modern America’s most pressing mysteries: Who killed JFK?

Editorial reviews

Few questions in 20th century history are as divisive as that of who killed John F. Kennedy. In Act of Treason, Mark North places the blame with the New Orleans mafia, but also points a finger at former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, whom he says learned of the assassination plan but did nothing to stop it. In clear, matter-of-fact tones that at times recall an old radio serial, performer William Hughes lays out North's detailed evidence, which covers Hoover's rule by fear, his distaste for Kennedy, and his close relationship with Lyndon B. Johnson (allegedly dissatisfied with his post as Vice President). Whether or not listeners agree with North's thesis, those fascinated by Kennedy's mysterious death will find plenty to chew over here.

It’s another layer of the JFK assasination. Very interesting topic to me. Sadly we may never get the truth

As a former employee of the FBI being there, just before the assassination of JFK, as I listen to the script of this work, I was uniquely familiar with each and every named actor. As I had walked ,day after day , from office to office on the fifth floor of the FBI headquarters. My imagination could perceive the reality of the ongoing’s and innerworkings of the proceedings throughout this sad and dramatic period of our history! Further, I know much more about the assassination of President Kennedy,;.ie, the Corrupt and evil disposition and demeanor of J EdgarHoover and the plot and the cabal that murdered JFK! Therefore, I will compose, “the rest of the story “ , with facts , so essential information can establish Truth!

Hoover knew of all the threats and said, “Let her roll.” JFK revered in the Presidency. One young man explained it perfectly: “I lost something that day, and I never got it back.” I agree. (Great job with this book)
