On March 1, 1967, New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison shocked the world by arresting local businessman Clay Shaw for conspiracy to murder President Kennedy. Returning to print for the first time in years, "On the Trail of the Assassins" is Garrison's own account of his investigations into the background of Lee Harvey Oswald and the assassination of President Kennedy, and his prosecution of Clay Shaw in the trial that followed. It was the primary source material for Oliver Stone's hit film "JFK".
