I wasn't sure I wanted to relive the subject matter of this book, but there were so many questions about the JFK, RFK and ML King assinations that demanded answers, I decided to give it the time it deserved. The material here is taken from very recently declassified material that the authors add to their previous 20-year study to paint a most detailed, colorful picture of the events. The research cited is impressive and the inferences to be made from it should be clear. It's long and detailed, but still captures the reader to carry on with much new information.
