 For years, the government has put out hits on people that they found "expendable," or who they felt were "talking too much," covering up their assassinations with drug overdoses and mysterious suicides. In Dead Wrong, a study of the scientific and forensic facts of various Government cover-ups, Richard Belzer and David Wayne argue that Marilyn Monroe was murdered, that the person who shot Martin Luther King Jr. was ordered to do so by the government, and examines many other terrifying lies we've been told throughout our country's history. The extensive research shows how our government has taken matters into its own hands, plotting murder whenever it saw fit.  Belzer and Wayne also examine the deaths of White House Counsel Vincent Foster, U.N. Weapons Inspector Dr. David C. Kelly, and bio-weapons expert Dr. Frank Olson, as well as the cases of two murders directly linked Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th President of the United States. "Big Brother" is watching you--through the scope of a sniper rifle. Dead Wrong will give you the straight facts on some of the most controversial and famous deaths this country has ever seen. The harsh reality is that our government only tells us what we want to hear, as they look out for their own best interests and eliminate anyone who gets in their way.… (mehr)

Interesting forensic & evidence analysis book that, if it doesn't have full answers, at least finds a lot of holes in the official ones. ( )
  SESchend | Sep 6, 2017 |
The book covers unlimited speculation and intrigue surrounding the deaths of the famous and not nearly so famous, ten in all. I read only the parts covering President Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, and Vince Foster. For conspiracy advocates this book presents will provide a fool's paradise.

Some day we may find that one of the theories was in fact real, but most of us will be long gone ourselves and what difference would it make other than exposing the plot long after the event with little consequence.

I personally do not believe in the great conspiracies posed, primarily on the Kennedy assassination but they do make interesting speculation considering motives ranging from the mafia to LBJ. In Vince Fosters case they don't even speculate on those behind it which I found puzzling, apparently leaving it to the reader's imagination. The most annoying aspect of the book was a repetition of similar angles to seemingly fill up space in the book.

Not a bad presentation overall but nothing particularly new or sensation just the typical hype and fodder for late night talk radio. ( )
