Hear No Evil

Scientific Analysis of the Forensic Evidence in the Kennedy Assassination

Narrado por: David Rapkin

Duración: 26 h y 50 m

Resumen del Editor

Groundbreaking scientific analysis that breaks the JFK assassination wide open! Did a shot from the "grassy knoll" kill President Kennedy? If so, was Oswald part of a conspiracy or an innocent patsy? Why have scientific experts who examined the evidence failed to put such questions to rest?

In 2001, scientist Dr. Donald Byron Thomas published a peer-reviewed article that revived the debate over the finding by the House Select Committee on Assassinations that there had indeed been a shot from the grassy knoll, caught on a police dictabelt recording. The Washington Post said, "The House Assassinations Committee may well have been right after all." In Hear No Evil, Thomas explains the acoustics evidence in detail, placing it in the context of an analysis of all the scientific evidence in the Kennedy assassination. Revering no sacred cows, he demolishes myths promulgated by both Warren Commission adherents and conspiracy advocates, and presents a novel and compelling reinterpretation of the "single bullet theory." More than a scientific tome, Hear No Evil is a searing indictment of the government's handpicked experts, who failed the public trust to be fair and impartial arbiters of the evidence.

Really Informative

Where does Hear No Evil rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It is below the top 60 percent. It was interesting but too many calculations, stats, but it was informative.

Would you be willing to try another book from Donald Byron Thomas? Why or why not?

Yes, the information was really acurate but I think that is why it kept loosing my attention, too much stats.

Have you listened to any of David Rapkin’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No I haven't, but I would not say no to listening to him again.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No

Any additional comments?

Just really informative with all the stats

Exhaustive and intriguing

Talk about an exhaustive, fact-filled textbook of one of the most important happenings of US and world history.

Of course, I wasn’t born when JFK was killed, and I’m an outlier when it comes to knowing the ins and outs of the whole thing. I’ve been to Dealey Plaza and visited the museum and the whole story is endlessly fascinating.

The information in this book is so detailed and sometimes moves along as if it’s a mathematical symposium. Every aspect seems to be talked about.

If you’re a conspiracy or history or Kennedy family buff, then Donald Byron Thomas and David Rapkin (narrator) have teamed up to give you more than enough information.

Amazingly detailed and a great listen, especially when working.

Probably better in hard-copy

This book is jam-packed with scientific information about every aspect of the JFK assassination. Getting the most from it requires basic science and, even then, I would have been better off with the hard copy so that I could re-read difficult points. I assume the hard copy book has diagrams which would make a huge difference. If getting though the chapters can sometimes be a struggle, the summaries at the end of each chapter tie it all together in simpler language and are a big plus. Overall, the book is well worth the effort.

Changed My Entire Perspective

some detailed analysis that at some parts were to lengthy, but great compelling case for a different reality of the JFK assassination that convinced me.

A Book Like No Other (in terms of the JFK killing)

What was one of the most memorable moments of Hear No Evil?

the facts... Golden facts that very few other books have. I enjoyed the fact that this book is all science and no speculation.

What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

There was much more good technology in 1978 than I had thought...

Any additional comments?

A VERY good book

Most indepth techincal Presentation

If you could sum up Hear No Evil in three words, what would they be?

Most indepth technical presentation without actually just writing out the autopsy and the gathering of evidence verbatim. The author refused to take anyone's word and has an enormous amount of scientist, doctors and any specialists top in their field.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Was not that kind of book.

What about David Rapkin’s performance did you like?

Voice was very clear and made it sound as if he was not reading but from memory.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, the shock test or the involuntary movement tests. How this disproved the voluntary movement that was stated by dropping a dollar bill.

Any additional comments?

I believe anyone if they had the nerve to open the case again would in my opinion have enough to prove conspiracy.

Very Good

So sad that this is our world, I only hope that I am nolonger here to see the total demise that is inevitable.

Great!

This was probably the best book on the evidence I've read! And I've read lots!

Great product.

Love anything informative about the JFK assassination. It's definitely worth the money and time. Must get.

Most Comprehensive Assassination Book To Date

This is undoubtedly the most scientific, unbiased, comprehensive, and convincing account of the details surrounding the JFK assassination. The author approaches this book not by simply setting out to prove or disprove a specific theory, or to offer unsupported conjecture into a case that is already overwhelmingly clouded with opinions, but instead to give a thorough analyzation of the evidence surrounding the assassination.

This book takes the approach of essentially giving a legal approach to the evidence surrounding this case - analyzing what evidence would, and would not hold up in court if Oswald were to have been brought to court. It furthermore continues to follow where the evidence itself leads, to a degree that leaves the reader "beyond reasonable doubt," as would be required in the court of law. The author's words address the known evidence and accounts of the event, as well as addressing popular conjecture, and even facing the opposition to such facts head-on. Each and every statement is supported by scientific evidence, and all work is shown that leaves nothing to the readers assumption or imagination.

I appreciate that this author, as every good scientist would, assesses every 'unknown' about this case within probabilities. It is easy to grow very tired of other conspiracy theorists that claim aspects to be 'indisputable facts,' when it is abundantly clear that the author was not present at the crime, nor is the author privy to any other overwhelming fact. The truth of the matter is, the world may never know for fact the events that took place on this Nov 22nd day, but this author brings into full light - "beyond reasonable doubt" - that the evidence brought about in this book are all compatible with the known circumstances of that day, and that all known evidence has been duly analyzed, all while deciphering how many other theories are entirely incompatible.
