Literary Café: The Last Witness by William Reymond and Billie Sol Este

Latest News

Much has been said and written about the assassination of Kennedy on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, so another book? Yes and no, the author had previously published JFK: Autopsy of a State Crime. This time he unveils the conspiracy with the testimony of one of the actors of this attack.


With patience, William Reymond takes up the investigation, not as a policeman would, but more freely, like a journalist.

He goes through Texas, unravels this complex tangle, and manages to prove and demonstrate who gave the order to assassinate Kennedy. He also demonstrates the existence of that mysterious second shooter. John Kennedy and, above all, his brother Robert hated Johnson and wished to get rid of him for the 1964 campaign.

This was a true casus belli with this Texan whose sole ambition was to become president of the United States. The Kennedy clan had outwitted him in 1960. Johnson was biding his time and was ready to do anything for it. This book shows us the mechanisms of this attack. Johnson, having become president, had those who knew too much or were going to talk eliminated.

There was an outbreak of strange suicides. Billie Sol Estes, by confessing, eased his conscience, but above all answered a criminal enigma of the 20th century. The book, published in 2003, forty years after Kennedy’s assassination, is the confession of this last witness, who was 78 years old at the time of the book’s publication.
