Amazing Story

Once you pick this book up, you can't put it down. It is one of the most inspirational stories ever told. It is the only book I know of written by a person who actually knew the key players in the assassination. This book is an amazing story and it appears that this story has now been proven to be true.

first hand account on...............

not only what happened in Dealey Plaza, but also what took place backstage.here's the juicy stuff........Mrs. Oliver not only knew Jack Ruby, (she worked for him), but she also claims that Ruby knew Oswald. Beverely comes out in the movie JFK. she is interviewed and then says she won't testify. in real life, she didn't speak with Garrison, but she did know Ruby and Oswald.Beverely Oliver, aka The Babushka Lady, was present in Dealey Plaza the day JFK was shot. we know this throught over dozens and dozens of photos taken that day. in the photos taken that day, one of which is the front cover of the book, shows her taking film of the JFK assassination. a couple of days after the killing, the film was taken by an FBI man. she identified that man as FBI Agent Reggis Kennedy, who denied it.Thirdly, and most importantly is that she knows who killed JFK, and it wasn't Oswald. i want to say, but i can't. read this book.she says exaclty who killed JFK and who the shooter was, because she knew him, and he knew her. good luck.good book.

a good book. basically, a first hand interview.....

with the Lady who not only was present in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963, but the very person who knew Jack Ruby.she came out in the movie JFK. the girl at the Carousel Club. but anyway, Mrs. Oliver's book is very interesting. She talks about...........okay, i don't want to ruin the book for you. go and check it out in the Library or buy it. you won't be dissapointed.

Nightmare in Dallas by Beverly Oliver

If you are a JFK-assassination buff, this book is a must-read for you!Abraham Zapruder's film of President Kennedy's assassination shows a woman wearing a long coat, with a scarf on her head, who was also filming the presidential parade with her movie camera. She was not asked to testify in the Warren Commission investigation, nor did the police or FBI interview her at the time of the assassination, even though one of police officers at the scene of the assassination recognized her and knew her as a friend of his wife's. In 1977, she was interviewed extensively by two representatives of the House Select Committee investigating the assassination, but she was subsequently not required to testify before the Committee. At long last, her story was published in 1994, in this book titled "Nightmare in Dallas."Beverly Oliver was standing across from the Texas Book Depository, and she started her movie camera as the President's car made the turn onto Elm Street. She kept filming as his car passed in front of her and the fatal shots were fired. She had not had the film developed when two nights later, two FBI men appeared at her work to take the film from her. What happened to her film has not been discovered, although unsuccessful attempts have been made to retrieve it from the government.Beverly Oliver's story includes little that is not already known about the Kennedy assassination, but her story gives credence to those who have told their stories before her. She met Lee Harvey Oswald at Jack Ruby's night club, when Jack Ruby introduced him to her as a friend "who's with the CIA." She also saw David Ferrie on numerous occasions at Jack Ruby's bar. She states that Jack Ruby had a strong dislike for John Kennedy and his brother Robert Kennedy, although he admired Jacqueline Kennedy. She claims that the shots that killed President Kennedy were fired from the fence on the grassy knoll.Her story also includes the disappearance of Jada, one of Jack Ruby's strippers, which Beverly Oliver believes was not because Jada had left for a new job in New Orleans. Jada had been interviewed by newspaper reporters who printed her quotes about how Jack Ruby had introduced her to Oswald a few weeks before the assassination. A few days after the assassination, Beverly found that all of Jada's costumes were being sold and she was reassured by the bar manager that Jada would not be needing them any longer. Obviously, Jada was no longer working as a stripper. But what happened to Jada is not explained, or is still not known. It seems to me that if someone was getting rid of everyone who saw or met Oswald at Jack Ruby's bar, there would have been a lot more people who would have disappeared, including Beverly Oliver.At the end of the book is an interesting chapter, called "The Fake Ruby?" While the reader is assured that there are credible witnesses to the fact that Jack Ruby was dead years before this incident, no explanation is given about
