Description of The Men Who Killed Kennedy:
This artfully constructed five-part series offers chilling evidence that American democracy has become a convenient lie; that a conspiratorial coup d'état removed a sitting president and then hid that fact from the American people. This sounds like the stuff of wild-eyed paranoia, but these filmmakers did their homework well--interviews include levelheaded witnesses, suspicious government agents, and Dallas cops present in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963. Some of the "proof" (especially in Episode 2, "The Forces of Darkness") seems a bit far-fetched, but the sheer number of unexplained facts is riveting. An autopsy attendant describes a procedure botched by meddling Secret Service agents. A deaf-mute eyewitness shares his recollection of uniformed men hiding a rifle and leaving the site of the assassination unchallenged. Eisenhower's security chief, present at the shooting, discusses fatal safety lapses--as well as mysterious shots coming from the opposite direction of the Texas School Book Depository. District Attorney Jim Garrison points out that Lee Harvey Oswald, a Marine assigned to Russian reconnaissance, operated a "Communist" organization out of a government intelligence office. Senator Ralph Yarbrough, present in the motorcade, tells of Kennedy's order to recall the troops from Vietnam--an order rescinded by the Pentagon three days after his death. But the most powerful elements of this documentary are the most personal, as hardened cops confess to lasting nightmares, as senatorial investigators tearfully recall the moment they realized the official story did not match the facts, and as simple bystanders share their lasting grief at having witnessed the gory death of America's innocence. --Grant Balfour
The Men Who Killed Kennedy Reviews:
Makes one wonder 
2009-01-06 - Glad to have a DVD of this great series. Sad that parts Seven, Eight and Nine have been withheld.
Hope some day they too will be included. Hear that History Channel.
Chapter 7-9 Need To Be INCLUDED 
2008-12-11 - This is an outstanding series that was released. However, the lost chapters, which I own, need to be included. These chapters are the most interesting of the series, also the most damning. If you buy this, make sure you try and get your hands on the lost chapters...perhaps on an online auction, hint hint.
Killer
2008-10-17 - I love this series. About seven years ago I spent all day recording that off of the History Channel with no commericals. Its that good! I'm glad to see that its finally on DVD, but they do need to include everything. I think its a great overview of the assassination along with Jim Marrs Crossfire. This is a good primer to kick start any entry level JFK researcher.
Some people refuse to believe that our Govt. can cover things up!
2008-07-19 - This is the only History channel production that I believe. Of course they had to apologize for the original airing, they exposed the truth. They are owned by The Walt Disney Co., one of only 4 companies (GE, Time Warner/AOL & The News Corp) that own & control every major network, newspaper & magazine in the US and abroad.
Even if you exclude all of the witnesses in the DVD, many of whom are intelligent professionals, think on your own regardless of what the corporate owned mainstream media (ie.-Peter Jennings & his JFK program on ABC) or the Warren Commission have said. For instance.
A) Actual footage of witnesses by the dozens running towards the grassy knoll because that IS where they heard one of the shots come from.
B) The Secret Service getting called off from riding on JFK's limo & many other operational irregularities.
B)The photos of JFK's altered head wound & the way his body was rushed off by Secret Service and the many many other discrepancies in the investigation. So much evidence to prove a "cover up" existed that I can't list them here.
C) The way JFK's head went back and to the left. Magic bullet huh!
Like I said, some people can have all the evidence placed in front of them but the programming of their brain over the years will still win over common sense. Nothing will change their faith in our Govt.
Everyone should ask a survivor of the U.S.S. Liberty if our Govt. elite are capable of committing atrocities against the American people!
