A Rare Note Outside Just the Facts

Today only: the updated digital edition of Case Closed — including material unavailable in the hardcover and paperback

I do not usually use Just the Facts to flag a book promotion. This is an exception.

Today only, all digital editions of Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK are deeply discounted by the publisher, Open Road Media.

This is the only edition that includes the 60th-anniversary update, in which I address:

• Newly released JFK assassination files

• An account from a Secret Service agent describing what he claimed to have discovered at Parkland Hospital in Dallas when President Kennedy was rushed there after the shooting

The Random House hardcover is out of print. The original paperback publisher, Anchor/Doubleday, did not update Case Closed for the 60th anniversary in 2023. As a result, readers who want the most current and fully revised edition can only find it in digital form: Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, and NOOK.

Many of you already know Case Closed. For those who do not, a brief reminder of why the book mattered — and still does.

When it was published in 1993, Case Closed fundamentally changed the public discussion of who killed President John F. Kennedy. It examined — and dismantled — the most persistent conspiracy theories using primary documents, forensic evidence, ballistic analysis, and contemporaneous testimony. It was widely reviewed at the time as a rigorous, evidence-driven reassessment of the assassination record. Case Closed was a national bestseller and one of three finalists for the Pulitzer in History.

More than three decades later, with additional files now public and myths still circulating, the updated edition exists for a simple reason: the historical record still matters.

Again, this is not a typical Just the Facts post. I am sharing this for those of you who might want the definitive, updated edition.

Remember, if you already own the original hardcover or paperback, this edition contains material you have not read. If you have never read Case Closed, this is the most complete version.
