This shocking book, "Farewell America", will change the way you think about America, and humanity in general. And not in a good way.
This is THE best book ever written on "The Establishment".
"The Establishment" is hard to explain, but this book does a wonderful job of doing so.
It shows how the Status Quo is protected by the Big Bankers, Big Lawyers, Big Military, Big Business, etc. And it's NOT a coincidence that The Warren Commission had men from all of these big "establishments" protecting their respective establishments.
That's why the Warren Commission lied to us. An investigation into the Conspiracy to kill Kennedy, essentially meant an investigation into the inner workings of our Government, and their many, many partners in American society, and indeed, the global society (The Establishment).
Quite simply, President John, F Kennedy, and his brother, Bobby, wanted to do things the way the Constitution says a President and his administration should be able to do things. The Constitution is irrelevant to "The Establishment". They dont care about America, and they dont care about you, or me. We are the "little people" to them. They will use, abuse, essentially manipulate us in any way that they can, to make a buck, and move up on the ladder that is the power and control structure of society. They used a 23 year old man on November 22nd,1963, and changed his life forever, and lynched him two days later. This man, who was innocent, was named Lee Harvey Oswald. "The Establishment" used him and sacrificed him, when they got what they wanted from their manipulation of him.
Anyone who threatens the money making opportunities, the image, or the "values" of these people will be killed. Prime Example, John F Kennedy.
He wanted to give more money and more power to the people. The Federal Reserve and The Military hated him for that.
President Kennedy wanted peace with the Soviets and Cuba. The CIA, The Military, The Mafia, and the Anti Castro Cuban exiles despised him for that. They wanted war, even if it meant a nuclear war.
Kennedy thought about we the people. "The Establishment" didnt like that, because we the people arent corrupt, devious degenerates who just care about making a buck. Thus, we the people, and our very constitution got in the way of "The Establishment" and their political and business opportunities.
All of this, and so much more is detailed in this book, "Farewell America".
This book wasnt actually written by a man named James Hepburn.
That's just a ghost name. This book was actually the result of two things....
1. Bobby Kennedy's private investigation into his Brother's death.
2. French Intelligence's study of the assassination.
So this book, isnt written by some author just putting forth theories, it is written by the INSIDERS, who had knowledge about how things really work, and as such, this book is essential to your understanding of why our President was killed, why we were lied to, and why "The Establishment" is the reason why this country isnt as great as it can be.
They are holding us back. They are manipulating our Constitution, they are, in short, our biggest enemy.
You may ask, "Is this book a factual representation of "The Establishment?". I can answer that question with this next comment.
The US Government tried to prevent this book from being published in America.
I believe this fact shows just how close "Farewell America" is to exposing "The Establishment" for what they are.......A giant pimple on the rear end of the United Staes of America.
Knowledge is power. Once we realize how society truly works, we will expose the hypocrites who walk among us.
Then, those of us, who stand for Truth, Justice, and doing things the True American way, with hard work, with dignity, with honor, and with a love of God and a love of country, can defeat this phantom menace to our freedom.
This book exposes the frauds, and gives we the people the power that President John F Kennedy envisioned giving us, before THEY killed him.
Please read this book. Knowledge is power.

Originally published in Europe in 1968, this is a once-notorious, now-dated look at John Kennedy's assassination and an excoriation of the American scene in its aftermath.

Turner (Rearview Mirror, etc.) explains in his introduction that the book was first published under mysterious circumstances and was "aimed at advancing the 1968 presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy," but its U.S. distribution was rapidly curtailed after RFK's death. The authors ("James Hepburn" is a pseudonym)

conducted clandestine research among KGB and Interpol agents and French petroleum espionage specialists and relied on a rare, unmodified print of the famed Zapruder film. The book seethes with aggrieved passion in defending the Kennedys and their ideals, and seeks to defrock the "lone gunman" theory of JFK's assassination.

Most of the text is a damning jeremiad, portraying pre-1964 America as a vicious, discriminatory oligarchy controlled by alliances of Big Steel and Big Oil, the military and organized crime, which all had reason to fear JFK's proposed reforms.
According to "Hepburn," these interests combined with ultra-right-wing paramilitary groups like the Minutemen and Cuban exile groups to plan the assassination. Chapters discussing the assassination itself will be grimly convincing to some
readers, with excellent analyses of the Secret Service's failures and the ambiguous roles played by the CIA and FBI during this tumultuous era.

This is a pungent historical document, but its conspiracy theory is familiar by now, and its information has been surpassed by more recent studies such as Murder in Dealey Plaza, edited by James Fetzer. (Dec.)

After reading it, just relax, make up your mind, and figure out who, in the TOP american business planned the crime, and how many former US american presidentes may have been involved DIRECTLY in the cover-up (one,two, three, four...BINGO!!!).

I have two children at home who pull Fishing with Foster from the bookshelf everynight to read a story (or 2 or 3) to them. What's fun about the book is that there are several stories in one book, all entertaining and funny. The pictures keep my children enthralled while I'm reading to them. They always want me to read the photo captions over and over. We have recently coupled the book with the Fishingwithfoster.com website. It blends well with the book, and my children have enjoyed tying the two together. The web site is every bit as fun as the book. It's wonderful to have such a fun book and web site that promotes family togetherness and exposes children to an activity they might not otherwise have an opportunity to try.

My mom is typing this for me because I'm only 5 years old. But when she bought this book for us, I liked reading it. It made me laugh and smile and my daddy's a fisherman and now I know a lot of stuff like him and when we go fishing together I can catch fish too. I like this book because it talks about wearing life jackets, which is good to do especially if you can't swim. It is also funny because Foster tells funny stories about fishing. You should buy this book for your kids.

My mom brought this book home to me and it's a great book. It has a lot of fishing tips and also a lot of pictures, which are fun to look at because it shows pictures of kids my age, which is almost 8. I like the way it was written and I especially like the sayings from other kids about their fishing adventures. It's a great book to read together as a family.

This is a great little book full of great characters, interesting twists and creative story telling. Jeff has a great imaginative style and draws his readers into the story quickly.

A thought provoking and original novella, The Garden in Bloom is an excellent cross of storytelling and adventure sci-fi. It follows the story of three generations of plant-like aliens with all too human characteristics. I couldn't put the book down as I journeyed with the characters from through their unusual world and suspenseful dilemmas.

I enjoyed this work so much, I passed it around to all my friends. One gentleman, who is both a reading addict and hard to please, said of this book: "I can see why [Ms. Rosen] wanted him to expand it. That was a great read."

Get a copy of this book. It's a welcome edition to any literary collection.

If you are looking for something exciting and new to read, this is the book for you! This book contains three Science Fiction stories of a society that functions very differently from our own. With all the action and surprise, you will have to read the whole thing in one sitting! I loved it! Also, look for Jeffrey Turner's
fantasy novel, The Hundredth Magic - another awesome reading experience!

THis is the real, hard to believe story of Hitler's ascent to the corridors of power. Chancellor was the only real job he ever had, other than his military service...and this book charts his rise over all the educated, polished saps who tried to use Hitler, and wound being suckered by him instead. His seizure of power in Germany, thanks to Von Papen and Hindenburg was as unfortunate for everyone else, as it was lucky for him.
If you want to know how Hitler rose to Chancellor in Germany, read this book.

There is little I can say that would do justice to Turner's magisterial work. It is carefully researched and documented and is extraordinarily well-written. While it is very much a work of historical scholarship, it is also written with an eye toward an almost dramatic narrative style (without the embellishments which some of today's "popular historians" resort to). To be quite truthful, I got so absorbed by the book, I couldn't put it down. Of course, you know what happens in the end, but Turner's writing is so vivid and his analyses so keen that it is an absolutely riveting account. And Turner's general thesis--that Hitler's rise to power was anything but inevitable--is one that he proves (at least as far as I'm concerned) beyond a shadow of a doubt. Chance played a tremendous role, as did human error and personal folly and misjudgment. On the topic of personal folly, Turner's assessment of General Schleicher is justifiably harsh. It is almost unfathomable to ponder, for example, that Hitler's rise might not have happened had Franz von Papen not nursed an inner animosity toward Schleicher, which led him to collaboration with the Nazi leader. So many if's. But such is history. And as far as histories of the Third Reich go, those who want to understand how Hitler became Chancellor of Germany will turn to this phenomenal work.

Mr. Turner's study on the Hitler's rise to power is excellent and maddening. It is excellent as an historical treatise reviewing the facts that caused Hitler to seize power and it is maddening in that it did not have to happen. In some circles there is a misbelief that Hitler's rise to the Chancellorship was inevitable. Turner puts that myth to rest in describing how the personal ambition of Hindenburg, Papen and Schleicher, as well as their ineptitude had more to do with Hitler's rise than Hitler himself.

The writing flows and keeps the readers attention riveted. This is an important book and a must read for anyone interested to Nazi Germany.

"Suncatchers" is an excellent Christian novel that is also a great witness tool! The main character learns first-hand about the Christian faith and struggles with his own non-belief. The characters were wonderfully crafted. A delightful read!

I really don't know how I happened upon this book, but I was delighted with it from the first page! As a voracious reader, I have read thousands of books in my lifetime, from Somerset Maugham to Alfred North Whitehead to Agatha Christie! Believe me, Suncatchers is so much better than most books -- Do yourself a huge favor and GET THIS BOOK. Already emailing my friends to borrow or buy a copy ASAP, I am purchasing several for gifts (and one for me!). There are very few books that cause me actual regret to finish. Suncatchers is one of them. To close the cover on such vibrant, inspiring, fascinating characters was difficult indeed. I will now get the other books by Jamie Langston Turner, and I pray that she will continue to write more!

I read a great deal of both Christian literature and Southern literature, and The Suncatchers is a winner in both categories! Turner has captured the essence of the Deep South with all of its idiosyncrasies in her portrayal of The Church of the Open Door. When Perry Warren flees a broken marriage and moves south to write an expose' of the typical fundamentalist Christian, he ends up living right next door to Eldeen Rafferty, a "poster-child" for the stereotypical Southern Christian. Perry becomes friendly with Eldeen and her family so that he will have more fodder for his book. He does not count on actually beginning to love these new friends dearly and enjoy attending church services with them. At The Church of the Open Door, its occupants, from Brother Hawthorne, the pastor who steps out of the "typical" male role to help his wife and tells his parishoners to do the same, to Joe Leonard, the shy teenager who plays the tuba for church services, and everyone in between, accept Perry unconditionally, and each manages to teach Perry a lesson about Christianity. As Perry goes through the painful process of analyzing his unusual upbringing and his failing marriage, he gradually begins to find healing and answers at The Church of the Open Door. Without a lot of preaching and testimonials, The Suncatchers manages to present such a wonderful picture of the Christian life that everyone who reads it will want to live as Eldeen and her family do. Even Perry finally realizes that this Christianity thing might have something for him as well. As a woman of the Deep South who is a born-again Christian and holds a masters degree in English (some may see these things as paradoxical), I find Turner to be on the same level with Eudora Welty. Turner captures the true spirit of the South in her charaterizations and descriptions; her Eldeen is portrayed with equal finesse of Welty's Phoenix Jackson, Sister, and Stella Rondo. I feel as if I would know Derby, S.C. and The Church of the Open Door if I visited there much as I feel I would recognize The Worn Path and Sister's P.O. The Suncatchers is undoubtedly the best book that I have ever read, and I hope that Turner will continue with her tales of Derby.

Children adopted overseas adore this story, regardless of their country of origin. It is especially helpful for children adopted at an older age.

Having a home and a permanent family is wonderful, of course. But older children don't know that when they come home. They are often angry at being uprooted and taken to strange new places, where people speak a foreign toungue. They are understandably frightened. So many new things in the early days assault their senses that days can seem like a lifetime.

This soothing story eases the pain of that transition. It helps them to know that they are wanted, waited for, and loved, even before they arrive. It eases the terrible pain of the transition. If you buy no other adoption story for your internationally adopted child, make it this one. Alyssa A. Lappen

I have an adopted daughter from Korea and we have many, many books on adoption. This is the best one I've found - it describes so well the experience my daughter, and we had, and makes me cry every time I read it. I've found it helpful not only for her but for her friends and classmates to understand her experience.

As a parent of two wonderful Korean boys, this book is a fantastic story of a child's travel to be with his forever family. I read this book for the children's story at my church on my son's first Coming to America Day (the anniversary of his arrival) and the response was wonderful. My sons really enjoy listening to this story and it has provided an avenue for us to talk about their adoption adventure and the plane ride from Korea to the United States. I high recommend this book. It is a must own book for parents of international adoptees.

Anyone familiar with Pete Turner's work over the past years, knows that he is a master magician of color. His new book, Pete Turner African Journey, a collection of color photographs taken over his many years of return travel throughout Africa is magnificent to behold for both its color and content. Pete has a creative passion for color. His connection to color reminds me of a statement by the artist Paul Klee, "Colour possesses me...color and I are one." So it is with Pete who creates his colorful art using a camera and a searching eye. The way he photographs the people, places and culture of Africa is best said in one of the quotes I have by Gordon Parks. " Recording images of serenity and beauty was a matter of devout observance." I can think of no better way to describe the beauty, sensitivity and reverence of Pete Turner's photographs. His photographs are artfully displayed in a beautifully designed book by the prominent designer and friend, Massimo Vignelli. An introduction by another prominent friend, Gordon Parks, pays tribute to Turner for "...an unforgettable gift that urges me to breathe my own roots." African Journey, is a hero's journey, and an invitation to witness the rich and radiant colors and culture of Africa, the second largest continent on our mother earth.

Showcasing 148 full-color photographs, and with an informative introduction by photography, fillmmaker, composer and author Gordon Parks, Pete Turner African Journey captures the exotic glamor of a seven-month journey from Capetown, South Africa to Cairo, Egypt while Pete Turner was on assignment for National Geographic. This is a stunningly visual journal of people, landscapes, wildlife, and visual beauty where the images captured by Turner's camera could easily stand as individual works of high art and hang on any gallery wall. Pete Turner African Journey is a superbly produced and highly recommended addition to any personal, academic, professional, or community library photography collection.

This book is a wonderful trip that takes us though the landscapes of Africa, visiting the people and the incredible wildlife, seen through the lens of one of the world's greatest photographers. Turner is a master of color and light, and he fell in love early in his career with the richness of the African continent. To spend time with this book is to be his travelling-companion, visiting ancient temples, witnessing animals in their world, crossing the Sahara and spending time in villages, getting to know the proud people who live there. One beautiful image is of a dog sleeping in an Ndelele village, its white paw matching the painted architecture. In images like this, Turner shows us again and again scenes that only his eye and lens could capture.

This book is an interesting look at your birthday and how it seems to affect personality and character. I did not think my birthday description was correct, but it did seem accurate for some of my friends. (it is hard to be objective on one's own personality)

I first read this book while waiting for an intuitive reading, and decided to buy it. It is fun to share with friends, and I have used it as an ice breaker for a get-together.

The book gives colors, gems, flowers and fragrances for your birthday. As well, your lucky numbers, charms, best day of the week. etc. Judith then gives a description of your personality and it is fun to read about those close to you to see if the description fits. Entertaining, and detailed.

this book contains typical horoscope information. however, there are some fun additional things like finding out the right composer for you and finding out which tree matches your birthdate. judith's remarks are also remarkably accurate. this is a really fun coffee table book or book to use for an icebreaker!!

I love this book because it was so accurate. I enjoy reading about Astrology but this book it the nail on the head. I felt like the author new me and all my family members. It's a good book to have if you want to findout who someone really is.

I have been playing off and on for nearly ten years. I know a good deal of music theory, but not playing much it was mostly abstract and useless to me. This book provided a solid method of learning what I needed to become a more useful player when my true musician friends get together for a jam. The examples were good and quite entertaining. I have only two gripes: the CD is just awful. While the examples are good, the tiny, brash, unappealing guitar accompanied by Dr. Rhythm drums makes otherwise interesting progressions sound terrible. My second gripe is that there is no discussion of chord selection. The book presents two "turnarounds" and then significantly modifies them throughout the book without once explaining why or how.
Nonetheless, this is definitely one of the best "how-to" music books I've seen.

I started learning guitar about 3 months back. I had a few of the Hal Leonard method books, and some other misc books I picked up. I didn't feel like they did a good job covering chords, so I picked this book up on a whim at a nearby music store. Hands down it's the best guitar book I own. The book has over 50 different lessons, and after a month or so, I'm about 1/4 of the way through it and getting better every day. Highly recommended.

But is there any section that covers triads? 7ths and 9ths? More desciption is needed.teak@nyc.com

This book raises the issue yet again of a possible conspiracy regarding the 1968 assassination of Robert Kennedy. The authors, to their credit treat the late Senator with respect; they do a good job of providing information about the Senator's professional and political career. In reading this particular work one comes away with a sense of the man who was killed in 1968; Robert Kennedy was considered by many to be Everyman's Advocate. He certainly was a man of strong convictions who appeared to be quite committed to his visions of a "more gentle" world; he was a man with whom many, particularly the disenfranchised could identify with.

The issue this work is concentrated on is the identity and motives of the assassin or assassins. The authors present a very strong and convincing argument of why they feel Sirhan did not act alone nor did he fire the fatal shot; the mysterious "girl in the polka dot dress" allegedly seen with Sirhan, and later allegedly seen fleeing the hotel minutes after the assassination, shouting "We shot him!" Did such a girl exist? If so, who was she and what was her involvement? As for Sirhan, there appears to be little doubt that he was involved to a certain extent in the death of Robert Kennedy; just how great that extent was and who else was involved remain open questions.

The biggest open question of all never knowing what Robert Kennedy would have accomplished had he not died. His untimely death in 1968 has left a painful void in history.

Turner and Christian present a well documented, convincing story of why the RFK assassination needed independent review in 1970s or 80s. This book places a lot of questions at the feet of the LAPD, and perhaps also with the CIA. But the major question is why there was not more public outcry for a review of the investigation back in 1968 and the following ten years.

One wonders, now in 2003, what relevance is left to this book. After reading it, any reader should better understand how too blind a faith in our government and its agencies might lead to a loss of control over these agencies, with disasterous results. Will we allow history to repeat itself? At a time when significant diminishing of our individual freedoms is occurring, the histories of RFK and JFK might make us rethink how far we might want to go to battle terrorism. Even if you don't really buy-in to any of the conspiracy theories, the clumsiness of the investigations should provide plenty of reasons to want _more_ oversight of these agencies, not less.

With all the "JFK Killed by Elvis" books on the market, one might overlook this wonderful book by Christiann and Turner. Like "All The President's Men", the book tells the story of a politician and journalist who dared to search for the truth in a maze of cover-ups and bold-faced lies. The authors provide convincing, simple evidence that RFK could not have been shot by only one man, let alone the feeble Sirhan Sirhan. Anyone interested in the RFK assassination, or in the political turmoil of the late '60's, doesn't know the whole story until they've read this fine book.
