In the Sights of Logic

Sixty years after the Dallas shootings - and despite more and more documents becoming available - a multitude of myths continue to surround the most famous assassination attempt of the 20th century. With his work, the author tries to bring a little more light into the thicket of conspiracy theories and facts, especially for the layperson. The aim should be to be able to form an opinion based on undisputed facts, even without any specialist knowledge and purely on the basis of common sense.

Auteur

Peter Engels was born in 1967, lives and works in Germany and has been interested in John F. Kennedy since he was 11 years old. Since 2008, he has been presenting as many data and facts as possible on this topic in a clear manner on the Internet with the "Kennedy Infoportal". There he also offers corresponding lectures and supports pupils and students with their elaborations.

He describes himself as a hobby historian and has traveled several times to all locations in the USA that are relevant to the topic. For him, the assassination has always been a major focus. Thus, he was able to get an idea of the local conditions in Dallas and has been in active exchange with The Sixth Floor Museum ever since. As a member of the Kennedy Library in Boston, he also takes advantage of the relevant opportunities for his research here. With connections into the Kennedy dynasty, he has even been a guest at the family estate in Hyannis Port.

When asked about the possible background to the attack, he admits to having doubted himself over the decades. It was only after the turn of the millennium and due to the increasing possibilities in the subject-relevant disciplines that the opinion that he represents in this work was consolidated.
