Kennedy was gunned down in Dallas by Lee Harvey Oswald. Shortly after, Oswald himself was killed. These events led many to believe there was a far greater plan at work, with a secret cabal of powerful men manipulating the public and shaping US policies both at home and abroad for their own interests. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But no one could imagine how right they were. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Beneath the orderly façade of the American government, there lies a complex network, only partly structural, linking Wall Street influence, corrupt bureaucracy, and the military-industrial complex. Here lies the true power of the American empire. This behind-the-scenes web is unelected, unaccountable, and immune to popular resistance. Peter Dale Scott calls this entity the deep state, and he has made it his life's work to write the history of those who manipulate our government from the shadows. Since the aftermath of World War II, the deep state's power has grown unchecked, and nowhere has it been more apparent than that day at Dealey Plaza. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this landmark volume, Scott traces how culpable elements in the CIA and FBI helped prepare for the assassination, and how the deep state continues to influence our politics today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As timely and important as ever in the current chaotic political climate, \u003ci\u003eDallas '63\u003c\/i\u003e is a reality-shattering, frightening exposé not of those who govern us--but of \u003ci\u003ethose who\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e govern those who govern us.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Dale Scott, a former Canadian diplomat and professor of English at the University of California, Berkeley, is a poet, writer, and researcher.
