Lbj the Dallas Incident

Kennedy's Assasination

By: Dr. John Chandler Griffin

The Kennedy Incident November 22, 2013 will mark the 50th anniversary of the greatest crime ever committed in this great nation, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the president of the United States. Then, two days later the man accused of having committed that crime, Lee Harvey Oswald, was also murdered, shot down in the Dallas Police Headquarters by mob thug Jack Ruby. The nation was aghast. How could such things happen in 20th century America? Ah, but not to worry. President Lyndon Baines Johnson immediately announced the appointment of a blue-ribbon committee, chaired by none other than the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Earl Warren, to discover just how such murders could have happened in Dallas, Texas in I963. Known as the Warren Commission, it was a committee whose judgment could not be questioned. But then a year later the WC issued its report (known as the Warren Commission Report) and almost immediately citizens from one end of the country to the other were yelling questions-chard questions that insulted both the WC's judgment and its objectivity. As though that were not bad enough, A few months later a New York attorney, Mark Lane, hired by Oswald's mother to vindicate her son, published his myth-shattering book, Rush To Judgment. The Warren Commission was blown out of the water. But still no satisfactory answers were forthcoming. Lyndon Baines Johnson and his political sycophants were very happy to blame Oswald for the entire tragedy. Anyone but themselves. Then in New Orleans rose a new challenge. District Attorney Jim Garrison began his investigation into the murders. But again the Federal Government reared its ugly head. State governors across the nation were advised to ignore subpoenas to testify in Garrison's trial. And in almost every instance those governors obeyed their orders. Other essential witnesses simply "committed suicide." Garrison himself was pilloried and held up to ridicule by the national news media. Still he persisted. In the end, with no witnesses [0 testify, Garrison's trial ended in not guilty verdicts. Still. after 50 years he remains the only person ever to bring anyone to trial for the murders that occurred in Dallas some fifty years ago. In this book, based on the evidence and testimony associated with the murders of Kennedy and Oswald, I have tried to present events as they actually occurred and show who was truly behind them. And I do so with no apologies to anyone. I will say that my heart goes out to Marina Oswald and her two daughters June Lee and Rachel. May God be with them.

A Pictorial History of the Confederacy

By: John Chandler Griffin

The fascination with the Confederacy and its heroes seems to grow ever stronger. Arranged chronologically and geographically, this book features descriptions of more than forty battles of the War Between the States, along with battle maps that show where the antagonists were located. The first section discusses and provides images from 1860 to Fort Sumter. The author then discusses battles that occurred in 1861 in northern Virginia and in the South and West, providing several photographs. The sections for the years 1862 to 1865 are arranged similarly and each also includes background about the Southern battle flags from various groups such as the Texas Rangers (8th Texas Cavalry) and the Confederate Navy. The book features a wide selection of rarely seen photographs of such Confederate heroes as Robert E. Lee, "Stonewall" Jackson, Jubal Early, Nathan Bedford Forest, A.P. Hill and Jeb Stuart, along with details of their military careers and personal lives that are little known to the average reader.

Lt. Bill Farrow

By: John Chandler Griffin

This biography of a Doolittle Raider “provides a closer look at the men who flew the mission, the culture of the time, and the courage of the men involved” (DoolittleRaid.com). Before his untimely and tragic death, Bill Farrow was thinking more about his bank account than patriotism. Stuck in a dead-end job earning ten cents an hour pumping gas, young Farrow found hope for a brighter future as one of the “CCC boys” of the Civilian Conservation Corps. At the University of South Carolina, his character and work ethic grabbed the attention of the Civil Aeronautics Authority in Washington. As one of three students chosen for flight training, Bill received his pilot’s license, joined the Air Corps, and was earning a respectable salary by March 1940. Global tensions were rising, however, and finances soon took a back seat to Farrow’s desire to serve God and country. Piloting the Bat Out of Hell, Lt. Bill Farrow volunteered for the dangerous American secret mission designed to boost morale during the darkest days of World War II. Dubbed Doolittle Raiders after Gen. James H. Doolittle, the commander of the Tokyo raid, Farrow’s crew set out to bring the war to the Japanese homeland by bombing a military target in Nagoya, Japan. Once the Mitsubishi aircraft factory was destroyed, their haven was to be Chuchow Air Field, fifteen hundred miles away in China. They never made it. Running out of fuel, Farrow had to bail out over Japan. Farrow was captured, tortured, and executed after a six-month imprisonment. In this biographical account, Dr. John Chandler Griffin begins by introducing us to the people and events that framed Farrow’s formative years. A solid Christian upbringing anchored Farrow, enabling him to aspire higher despite challenges and hard knocks. Lt. Bill Farrow was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and earned the admiration and respect of a grateful nation. “Serves as an homage not only to [Farrow], but to countless others like him who sacrificed their lives during WWII.” —Veterans Reporter

Dizzy City

By: Nicholas Griffin

Dizzy Cityis a suspense-filled portrait of the darker – and more exciting – side of American capitalism at the dusk of the Gilded Age, and a compelling novel about what happens when we try to find happiness at others’ expense. Englishman Benedict Cramb deserts the trench warfare of World War I in northern France and stows away on a ship bound for New York. Once there, he falls under the sway of the urbane and mysterious Julius McAteer, who sees in Ben his chance to finely hone the tools of someone who can master the art of the con. They concoct a ruse, pick their mark – a blustering midwestern cattleman named Henry Jergens – and the game is afoot. But the further Ben follows the money in New York, the closer he moves back to the war in Europe and his shattering experiences there. This page-turner is rich in historical detail and filled with romance and adventure.
