At last As we approach the 50th anniversary of November 22 1963, finally - the ONLY comedy/satire EVER written on the JFK assassination The one-of-a-kind, star-studded never-before-told twisted tale of events leading up to November 22, 1963 - and starring the biggest American pop culture icons of the 21st century, as told by Boston area author Joe Burke.
During the height of the 'Cold War' - from 1960 to 1963 - entertainment icons Elvis Presley, John Wayne and Frank Sinatra take center stage in this never-before-told, star-studded story of the 'reel' Hollywood conspiracy to assassinate newly elected President John F. Kennedy.
In this one-of-a-kind, darkly satirical work of historical fiction, Elvis, Sinatra and John Wayne come to life as Hollywood Republicans take aim at the newly elected Democratic President JFK. Among the unusual suspects, JFK's political nemesis Richard Nixon, bitter that JFK 'stole' the 1960 election; Frank Sinatra, scorned by the Kennedy's after the election, he seeks revenge; John Wayne - the big screen right-wing anti-communist acting legend who always wanted to direct - now he gets his chance; And fresh from the U.S. Army, the King of Rock n' Roll, Elvis Presley - 'The Memphisian Candidate' - who for once just wants a decent script.
This original, clever, exhaustively well-researched and ultimately satisfying tale contributes a very necessary volume to one of the most discussed subjects of our country's history - finally, after fifty years of conspiracy theories and revisionist histories, a comedy
HOW HOLLYWOOD KILLED JFK is an absolute must-read for anyone seeking a well-deserved, long-awaited diversion and escape from the tragic events of November 22, 1963.
Joe Burke lives in the Boston area and is available for interviews about HOW HOLLYWOOD KILLED JFK.
