Infamy, started as a bibliographical project. Sometime around the end of 2011, I began to think that some sort of survey of the Kennedy assassination literature was in order. I had not come across anything like that during my own reading on the subject. Moreover, a substantial amount of valuable research and writing appeared during the decade that preceded the fiftieth anniversary of Kennedy’s death. A guide to these books, as well as some of the lasting work from earlier years, would be helpful to other people interested in this field.

Here is a list of books on the subject, with links to Amazon, in no special order. What books do you think ought to appear in this list?
