The Kennedy Autopsy Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

For half a century, people have debated the Kennedy assassination. Some claim that the Warren Commission got it right - that Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald, a lone-nut assassin. Others contend that Kennedy was killed as part of a conspiracy.

It is not the purpose of this book to engage in that debate. The purpose of this book is simply to focus on what happened at Bethesda Naval Hospital on the evening of November 22, 1963. What happened that night is so unusual that it cries out for truthful explanation even after all these years.

In this book you will learn that:

1. Kennedy's body was actually delivered to the Bethesda morgue twice, at separate times and in separate caskets.

2. Some photographs and X-rays from the autopsy went missing from the record, and other photographs in the record were forged or otherwise fraudulent.

3. The president's body was altered by tampering with the wounds before the autopsy took place.

And much more.

The Kennedy Autopsy
By: Jacob Hornberger
Narrated by: Kevin Pierce
I had this book a while then saw it on freeaudiblecodes so I grabbed it. I have always be interested in and repulsed by the secrecy that is obviously a cover up of the shooting of JFK. JFK once told his wife that if he was assassinated that Johnson would be behind it. This book doesn't go into the conspiracy theories but just what happened after he got shot!
I bet many people wouldn't be able to guess how many times his casket arrived at the place for autopsy. Three times! Each under secrecy! His wife thought she was with him the whole time but it was empty!
There were four shots but only three were suppose to be by the single shooter. So they made the magic bullet theory. He was also shot from the front.
The autopsy report itself was a mess! They kept changing where the wounds were and how many! How suspicious can you be? We will probably never know the truth but I believe that there was a conspiracy. How can all of this go on that is in this book without a reason. The only reason they would have is to cover something up!
Interesting and informative book! Great narration also!

Very excellent book. A whole lot of obfuscation by our government but this author, among others, works hard to clarify and he succeeds. That's why this book has plenty of good reviews. was 12 years old when this happened, and I was stuck in a hospital bed with a radio. I was able to hear the entire day unfold without interruption. The newmen first broadcast that Kennedy would be taken to Walter Reed Army Hospital.I heard it myself! Everyone expected that for two or three hours. Then another broadcast made the update that it was going to Bethesda. I'll never forget it, nor the fact that as I lay there numerous bits of information about Lee Oswald were broadcast within an hour of the shooting. I'll tell you, as a 12 year old things looked odd even that soon. STILL NOT MAKING SENSE. It was the scandal of the century.

5.0 out of 5 stars JFK, The Victim of a Coup?
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2015

For anyone who cares about what happened in Dallas in 1963, this is an important book to read and consider. The bottom line is that the chain of evidence was broken and if Oswald had made it to a courtroom (and that's a whole different story) a conviction would have been problematic at best. Jacob Hornberger has done a great service by writing this book. Questions are raised that demand answers. The obvious answers indicate that what really happened that day in Dallas was a coup. On the downside, the book is entirely derivative and if you have read "Best Evidence" by David Lifton or "Crossfire" by Jim Marrs you won't find new ideas here. However, "The Kennedy Autopsy" goes into greater depth than either of the aforementioned books, especially in the two appendices.

However the definitive source Hornberger relies upon is a multi volume book and a five part video by Douglas Horne that can be found on Hornberger's Future of Freedom Foundation website under the "Videos" tab. It is long but truly informative and often shocking in the revelations. Why should we believe Hornberger or Horne for that matter? Well Horne has an interesting pedigree. Douglas Horne was employed by the federal government at the Assassination Records Review Board for several years during the 90s. That Board was created by Congress in the aftermath of the "JFK" movie and charged with reviewing all the classified information the government had in its possession in order to determine what could and should be declassified. I find Horne and Hornberger to be credible sources.

The author keeps repeating himself. I assume it’s to prove a point, but it goes on and on. There is no idea of how the body was moved between the three caskets delivered to bathesda hospital.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Perspective
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2015

President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was one of the most popular presidents in American history. He also made more than a few enemies while in office. Although his assassination occurred in 1963, speculation regarding the circumstances of his death still persists today.

Jacob Hornberger has focused solely on the autopsy that took place after Kennedy’s death. The Kennedy Autopsy is a detailed and concise account of what the author has deemed to be full of many inconsistencies during the investigation surrounding the Kennedy assassination.

The author provides a great deal of information that had not come to light until long after the president’s death. Yes, it was a bit dry, but that’s to be expected when sharing reports, evidence, statements and testimony.

The Kennedy assassination will continue to be a controversial event in U.S. history. There will always be segments of the population that will fall on one side of the controversy or the other. Although I found this book to be well researched and compelling, I know that this is a subject that will never truly be closed. I’m of the belief that, if the United States government wants to bury the truth regarding just about anything – controversial or not – chances are it will remain buried. The Kennedy Autopsy gives readers another opportunity to revisit and examine any seemingly suspicious actions surrounding the autopsy.

Unnecessary repition of information that has been in the public view for a number of years. He is listed as an American attorney, author, and politician...the book is redundant and the info has been better presented by other medical experts...it is tiresome and lacks real specifics...suggestions are given without any track to follow...if you have time you want to kill...do not...I repeat DO NOT consider this book. I am sure you may find something better to read on this subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the money.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 9, 2018

The Kennedy Autopsy is a must read for people seriously interested in the Kennedy assassination. It's only 12 chapters long (with two Appendices) but that is all it needs to succinctly convey the issues involved. All the sources are referenced and verifiable by the reader, should they wish to do so, but the hard work has already been done. It makes sense of the confusing contradictory accounts paraded by both pro and anti conspiracy theorists and, for those who cannot understand how 'the wider conspiracy' could have been affected (those who say, quite rightly, 'the more people in on the conspiracy the weaker it gets'), Chapter 10's proposition of a possible telephone conversation brilliantly makes it clear how this could have been managed.
For me there are only two conclusions to be taken from this book. Either the federal agencies who 'stole' this investigation and autopsy were, at best, grossly incompetent or something stinks.
When you've agreed that 'something in the fridge doesn't smell right' then it's time to inspect the contents.
Most people enquiring into the Kennedy Assassination start with Oswald, an enigma and most probably an intelligence community manufactured enigma. Having researched this subject for years I now think the starting point for anyone should be the Autopsy. Don't be deflected by side issues of whether or not JFKs injuries were altered because the main point is why would the Federal Government hijack a procedure it had no legal rights to? I think Mr Hornberger has more than adequately answered that question.
And don't get bogged down in the fact that he is sometimes repetitive in mentioning some particular sources, the book is after all a collection of 'essays'. It would benefit from a swift edit though.
I would recommend this book and 'Not In Your Lifetime: The Assassination Of JFK' to anyone who wants to understand what surrounded JFK's death without being confused and dazzled by the smoke and mirrors.

JFK became a different person after he was elected President and he learned how things really were. This put him at odds with the people who really run things in Washington. He overestimated his power and paid for this mistake in Dealey Plaza when his enemies murdered him.

I read to the end, as the content was interesting. The writing style, however, was not enjoyable.
The author refers to his own previous books frequently, with links.
He refers to himself in the third person, and overuses catchphrases.
There are links to documents, which is good. The cover is attractive. I read the Kindle edition.
