50 Years After Assassination, Kennedy Books Offer New Analysis --- In the 50 years since the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the public has never tired of books about the charismatic young president and his tragic death. -- This year, the market has been particularly flooded with Kennedy books — from glossy photograph collections to serious biographies and histories to a new round of books devoted to conspiracy theories. -- There were already thousands of books about Kennedy before this 50th anniversary year, but Tony Lyons of Skyhorse Publishing believes there is always room for more. His company is releasing 25 Kennedy books this fall: eight new ones and 17 reprints. -- "I think that this is the biggest story probably in U.S. history," Lyons says. -- Lyons firmly believes that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone. Most of the books he is publishing point the finger at an assortment of conspiracies: the CIA, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, the Mafia — even Kennedy's own father, Joseph Kennedy, is blamed for the assassination. One book Lyons expects will sell well is a primer on conspiracy theories by Jesse Ventura. - More, Lynn Neary - NPR
