#1382 - Ronald White

Ron White is the author of "JFK: Scorpio Rising" which deals with the Kennedy assassination such as why was President Kennedy assassinated? The Warren Commission said a lone-nut Lee Oswald wanted him dead. In the late 1970’s, the House Subcommittee on Assassinations concluded that JFK’s, Martin Luther King’s, Robert Kennedy’s and Malcolm X’s assassinations were all conspiracies but failed to identify conspirators. The passage of an event into history changes our perspective as the immediate need for answers disappears. Still the human need to understand why something happened lingers. The question changes from "Whodunnit" to "What can we learn about why it happened?" Ron's book is intended to spark the kindling of accumulated curiosity by posing relevant historical questions and providing historically informed answers.
