OK - will save you some time searching the web - By: Nigel Collier, 20 Jun 2008 
This book assumes a considerable degree of familiarity with the JFK assassination - there are no timelines, no details about balllistics, no diagrams of Dealey Plaza. Its scope is not, in short, 'the assassination of JFK' but deals purely with a handful of the most likely cast & scenarios behind the assassination & cover up.
It does this in a very scant way by looking at a given aspect (the two Oswalds, the failings & agenda of the Warren Commission, the criminal past of LBJ), summarising the better (and poorer) books published on that aspect & including, at the end of each chapter, a lot of very good web references for further research.
'Who Shot JFK' won't tell you much about the subject. Its a starting point to the most recent thinking at the more serious, sober & less nutty end of the JFK conspiracy scale - & as such it's OK. It's very light reading - its 150 pages are smalll & 35 of them are footnotes so you can read it easily in a night. For a book[let] of such limited scope & shelflife it's overpriced.
An okayish book - By: K. Wigley, 30 May 2008 
As a big researcher on the JFK assassination, this book promises to let you know who 'dunnit' - but doesn't reallly do that. Yes, it hints at what many JFK researchers are now coming to as a foregone conclusion - that LBJ had some input, if not outright ordered this murder. Most of the book is spent on rubbishing certain theories [which to be honest, deserve to be rubbished], however I don't agree with many of the conclusions the author reached. There are many fascinating web-links in the book, which is excellent work. Overalll, if you are a VERY knowledgeable JFK reader, give this book a miss. However if you want to just be kept-up-to-date, & dip into this subject from time-to-time, this could be a good read & will update you. I will also say - this was an addictive book; I couldn't put it down & shot through it in around 3 days.
The Worlds Greatest Whodunnit! - By: Steen Lykke Laursen, 14 Mar 2008 According to Robin Ramsay, LBJ was the culprit! Shouldn't the title have been "Who ordered JFK Shot?" then? Because LBJ certainly didn't pull any triggers anywhere near Delay Plaza on that fateful November day in `63.
So what was new to me:
Loy Factor, a Native American, who confessed to be part of the sixth floor sniper team along with Ruth Ann, LHO & "Mac" Walllace aka Malcom E. Walllace, LBJs trusted hitman.
Identification of a fingerprint found on "Box A" on the sixth floor of the TSBD belonging to none other than "Mac" Walllace.
"The LBJ Gang" is described convincingly & it feels like a particularly difficult part of the jigsaw puzzle fallls into place after hours of concentrated pondering.
Jack Ruby & his "appearances" are presented in a less sophisticated & dramatic way & I think that serves both the truth & Jack Ruby best.
Further more the double Oswald theory is given a new & more elaborate twist.
Robin Ramsay is more logical, direct, straight forward & clear cut than most "Kennedy assassination buffs" & researchers. Unfortunately that results in the book coming across as less "scientific & analytical" which makes me wonder whether I can take it at face value.
Cheap but flawed - By: Mr. S. R. Grenyer, 21 Feb 2008 
Yet another JFK conspiracy theory! How many is this now? And yet another different conclusion. I've yet to read two books on the case that agree with each other!
The trouble with a short book is that you are left with no explanation for his statements. Sure there are plenty of web references which is the book's best part but then again why not simply type 'jfk assassination' into google instead?
His view throughout that JFK was killed by the Johnson administration, FBI, CIA & everyone apart from Oswald is a bit far fetched for me. I mean there doesn't seem to be a single piece of evidence that he thinks wasn't altered in some way. You have to believe something! On one page he suggests that a leading member of congress was 'persuaded' to run for vice-president in the 1970's to stop his interest in the case developing. Oh come on!
If you want yet another view of the case, with yet another different conclusion then fine, read it. Then wait for the next one to come out in a year or two & do the same then.
A good little book on an enormous subject ! - By: Patrick Collins, 07 Jan 2008 The author has obviously elected to provide a short & sweet account of the events of November 22nd 1963 rather than delving deep & producing a heftier work on the subject. However, surprisingly Robin Ramsay does a very good job of covering the many & often complex aspects of the case even though the book is rather short. Whilst I do not agree with the pro conspiracy stance of the author, I would recommend the book - especiallly for the many excellent web site addresses provided for people wishing to find out more about the case.
