The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy: The Final Analysis: Forensic Analysis of the JFK Autopsy X-Rays Proves Two Headshots from the Right Front and One from the Rear

David Mantik is a radiation oncologist who also has a Ph.D. in physics. He is one of the few people who have been permitted to examine the extant X-rays that were taken of President Kennedy’s head as part of the autopsy that the U.S. military conducted on JFK’s body on the evening of the assassination. As he points out in this new book, Mantik did a careful examination of the X-rays on nine different occasions. It is Mantik’s findings with respect to those X-rays that form the central thesis of The Final Analysis.This book builds on the foundation built by Douglas Horne, the author of the five-volume book Inside the Assassination Records Review Board, which established beyond a reasonable doubt the fraudulent nature of the autopsy that the U.S. military conducted on JFK’s body on the evening of the assassination. There is no innocent explanation for a fraudulent autopsy. It necessarily means criminal culpability in the assassination itself. Horne served on the staff of the ARRB.Dedicating his book to Horne, Mantik builds on Horne’s evidence of the fraudulent autopsy by establishing the fraudulent nature of the autopsy X-rays. On several of his visits to examine the X-rays in the National Archives, Mantik took an instrument called a densitometer, which measures the density of various parts of the X-rays. As he carefully documents and explains in his new book, the measurements he took establish that the extant X-rays have to be fraudulent altered copies rather than original X-rays.One of most fascinating aspects of the book is a chapter about a 6.5 mm bullet fragment in the extant X-rays. The size of that bullet fragment conveniently matches the Italian-made rifle that the accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, supposedly used to assassinate the president. However, when the three military pathologists were asked about that bullet fragment, they all said that they never saw it. Yet, given the enormous size of the fragment, it is impossible to miss.Why didn’t those pathologists see that fragment after the original X-rays were taken? There is only one reasonable explanation: After the autopsy, someone made a fraudulent copy of the X-ray with the bullet fragment inserted. Mantik carefully explains how this would have been done with the technology existing in 1963.Another fascinating part of the book comes at the end, when Mantik describes the process by which Kennedy’s body was sneaked into the Bethesda Naval Medical Center morgue at 6:35 p.m. on the Friday of the assassination, which was almost 1 1/2 hours before the official entry time of 8 p.m. That's also a point covered in Horne's book. At the risk of further belaboring the obvious, when people are sneaking a president’s body into a morgue, they are up to no good.By establishing the fraudulent nature of the X-rays in his book The Final Analysis, Mantik has added to the mountain of evidence that establishes beyond a reasonable doubt the guilt of the national-security establishment in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. This is a great book. I highly recommend it.

My exposure to the assassination of JFK began as a student sent home from an English class lecture on Henry David Thoreau to watch another triple-named man's assassination before sixty Dallas police officers.The presidential commission relied upon a military autopsy with unprecedented anomalies, successive reports with initial efforts burned, x-ray films demonstrably false, photographs contradicting dozens of professional medical witnesses.The record was corrupted, but it would be six decades of doubt and speculation before this thorough scientific correction. The finality of this ultimate analysis is worth the wait.Dr. David Mantik, a radiologist with physics doctorate, has demonstrated through the optical density tool of his profession that the president was hit by three head shots: occipital, right forehead, right temple.Extraordinary claims backed by extraordinary research, nine visits to the Archives, thousands of individual optical density measurements of the extant frontal (AP) and side (lateral) x-rays showing a fabricated 6.5 mm artifact not noted by the autopsists (Humes, Boswell, Fincke) or the original radiologist (Ebersole).Evidence of a forehead entry is seen in the skull and the particle stream, a stream which is separate from the occipital and temporal wounds. A white patch concealing the loss of skull at the rear defect noted by Parkland and Bethesda medical personnel.The Harper Fragment proves to be the Rosetta Stone of the analysis as it bears metallic traces of entry as well as proves a frontal shot by its forcible expulsion to the rear.The introduction by Douglas Horne the ARRB military medical records specialist places the x-rays in perspective with the presentation of multiple casket arrivals, pre-autopsy surgery, two brains and two brain exams.In an era when the call to follow the science is foremost we need look no further than this volume.

Ignorance and stupidity ultimately reign with reviews from people like "Dominick T. Armentano," who has never written anything of any real substance or research with regard to JFK and his demise . . . As the author of "Mary's Mosaic," and having researched JFK's assassination for over 30 years, David Mantik's new book answers many questions with careful scientific inquiry. His collaboration with Jerome Corsi and Douglas Horne gives further credibility to one of the most tragic events in American history.I applaud this book because it gives the reading public one of the clearest and best explanations as to what actually took place! Thank you, thank you David Mantik, Jerome Corsi, and Douglas Horne !

Incontrovertible proof that JFK was murdered by a shadow government powerful enough to use the Chief Justice (Warren) of the Supreme Court as its mouthpiece, and have successfully covered up their heinous crime, even to this day. Since then, it may be logically concluded, every President of the US has lived under the specter of death for not going along with their agenda. Still think Oswald did it? Read this book and weep.

Like knowing the real cause of JFK death. Not shot from behind as Oswald killed him. He actually was shot from the knoll from the front. Still am reading more.

This book is not for someone looking for an easy read. This book is more suited to a Dr. of Radiology.The conclusions still leave me in doubt of what actually happened in Dealey Plazza that day in November 1963.I know the Warren Report is a joke and a fictional account of the assassination. That said LBJ wanted it too hit the streets ASAP so as to put the whole affair behind his administration and then the focus on his legislative agenda.Our government will never willingly tell us the whole story of that day unless forced to.

Shows just how corrupt the Warren commission was. No wonder none of the Presidents wanted to release all the documents.

Recently received so have only glanced at a few pages. Purchased the hard cover version for $50.00 plus so expected a wow factor, expected full page gloss photographs, especially the radiographs and would have expected illustrations such as as arrows or areas boxed in to be in colour. It should not be necessary to have to use a magnifying glass to look at these photographs.Buyer Be Ware.
