Stanley J. Marks authored one of the earliest and most prescient books about President John F. Kennedy's assassination, Murder Most Foul! (1967).Coup d'Etat! is his third work of nonfiction about the JFK case. Originally published in 1970, it includes original and insightful commentary on the trials of Clay Shaw, Sirhan B. Sirhan, and James Earl Ray. Marks describes the work as "A true detective story that reveals the prostitution of the 'basic principles of American justice' as practiced by the Warren Commission." He also examines the interrelated conspiracies that killed JFK, Dr. Martin Luther King, and Senator Robert Kennedy. In discussing the nefarious role of the mass media in spreading disinformation about the presidents murder, he writes: "The responsibility for the 'success' of the Warren Commission and its 'Report' must rest solely upon the mass communication media, which went out of its way to protect the duplicity, deceit, and deception practiced by the Commission upon the American citizen. Why the 'lords' of the press decided to uphold such fraud can only be answered by them.... Whatever the reason, the 'lords' acquiesced in the 'Report' and, in the long run, the 'lords' and their 'peasant' readers will pay the price with the gradual erosion of freedom of the press. The rise of fascism in the United States is proceeding on the same ground, and in the same manner, that the press lords of Germany paved the way for Hitler; those same 'lords' in Italy for the Mussolini; those same 'lords' who preferred Hitler to Blum; and the same 'lords' who exalted at the demise of democracy in Greece in 1967-68."
Autorenporträt
A fearless author who was blacklisted by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), Stanley J. Marks was one of the first American researchers to draw a direct connection between the murders of JFK, MLK, and RFK. He published about twenty books on politics and religion, one of which received accolades from Arnold Toynbee and Herbert Marcuse. His first book, a bestseller titled The Bear That Walks Like a Man: A Diplomatic and Military Analysis of Soviet Russia (1943), was reviewed in over thirty mainstream newspapers and received glowing praise from John Cudahy, President Roosevelt's former ambassador to Poland and Belgium. While Marks was researching his book on Russia he received assistance from Secretary of State Cordell Hull, "the father of the United Nations," who gave Marks direct access to State Department files. In 1973, the JFK Library contacted Marks with a request to purchase his book Murder Most Foul! for their collection. And in 1979, the House of Representatives Select Subcommittee on Assassinations cited five of Marks' assassination-related titles (including Coup d'Etat!) in its report.
