Product Description:
-------------------

The mother of all conspiracy theories is the supposed one about the
assassination of John F. Kennedy (JFK). Many of its elements have
become part of American folklore: the single bullet, the Grassy Knoll
shooter, and the mysterious deaths of interested parties.

JFK Assassination Logic shows how to approach such conspiracy claims.
Studying Lee Harvey Oswald’s character and personality, for example,
doesn’t help determine whether he alone shot the president, and our
opinion of bureaucrats can often cloud our judgments. How people view
the JFK assassination can be a model for how to (or perhaps how not
to) evaluate other conspiracy theories, including those generally
considered dubious—the U.S. government and 9/11, the moon landing,
Pearl Harbor—as well as those that are real, such as Watergate.

John McAdams does not just address conspiracy theories but also how to
think, reason, and judge the evidence in these cases. How do we
evaluate eyewitness testimony? How can there be “too much evidence” of
a conspiracy? How do we determine whether suspicious people are really
suspicious? By putting the JFK assassination under the microscope,
McAdams provides a blueprint for understanding how conspiracy theories
arise and how to judge the evidence.

This book puts the reader into a mass of contradictory evidence and
presents an intriguing puzzle to be solved. The solution, in each
case, involves using intellectual tools. Eyewitness testimony, the
notion of “coincidence,” selectivity in the use of evidence, how to
choose between contradictory pieces of evidence, the need for evidence
to fit a coherent theory, how government works, and basic principles
of social theorizing—all provide the elements of how to judge not only
the JFK conspiracy, but all conspiracies.
