Conspiracy theories are everywhere these days. Not all of them are stupid - real-life conspiracies do, after all, sometimes occur (for example, the cover-ups surrounding the Iran-Contra Affair and Watergate). However, many conspiracy theories are frankly ridiculous, believed only by those who believe nothing they read in a newspaper and everything they believe on the internet.
However, even for those of us who recognise that the Earth is not, in fact, flat or that the Apollo moon landings, September 11th attacks, climate change and Coronavirus pandemic were not made-up fictional events invented by the mass media, the Kennedy assassinations of 1963 and 1968 might still give us pause for thought.
Many of us may have speculated that the mafia or CIA may have had a hand in the killings of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 and his brother, the presidential candidate, Robert Kennedy nearly five years later.
Mel Ayton's detailed, sometimes repetitive book tackles and refutes most of the outstanding doubts about the official verdicts on both assassinations head-on. It is unlikely to end the eternal, often web-fuelled speculation about such events, of course, but is a worthy and noble effort to close the door on the subject forever.
