Peter Knight is senior lecturer in American studies at the University of Manchester. He is author of Conspiracy Culture: From Kennedy to "The X-Files" and editor of Conspiracy Nation: The Politics of Paranoia in Postwar America, Conspiracy Theories in American History: An Encyclopedia, and Fakes and Forgeries.
Peter Knight has done the impossible--he has written a very
interesting and readable book on the Kennedy assassination. [The
book] will prove indispensable not only to students and researchers
of American politics and culture over the last half century, but
also to the general reader.--Richard H. King, author of Race,
Culture, and the Intellectuals, 1940-1970
Peter Knight's book on the Kennedy assassination is the best
available source we have on the most symptomatic event of post-war
American history. . . . Encyclopedic in scope, elegant and clear in
its execution, wide-ranging in its assessment of the history and
representational aftermath of that dark day in Dallas, this will be
the 'go-to' book on the Kennedy assassination for some time to
come.--Patrick O'Donnell, author of Latent Destinies: Cultural
Paranoia and Contemporary U.S. Narrative
