 CIA, A SECURITY RISK March 23, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Reading about America's "intelligence community" backed by its internationalist, wealthy elite in this book leads to the apodictic conclusion that the CIA is a security risk to the "people" of the USA. "The Man Who Knew Too Much" clues us in on the true nature of government by secrecy and how the CIA has been surreptitiously infiltrated by persons with the agenda of alien interests and actions fatally detrinemtal to the well being of the "real" political, economic, and military interests of the United States.
The Best Book I have Ever Read in My Life. November 4, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This one is a monument to both human curiosity and disciplined research. That is one rare duplex! It wanders like Gravity's Rainbow but is on footnotes not marijuana. You will leave this book with a curiosity that is nearly illegal, at this stage of capitalism.
It shows us that the Kennedy Assassination, is not a naive exploration of the contingencies of one liberal's death.
Rather it is a core-sampling of Cold War America, that is more current an event than anything you will read in a newspaper this year. It teaches about media, intelligence history, and their connections to everyday events and people. Can only enlarge a readers sense of what politics really is right now.
 The Book That Tells Too Little July 16, 2006

This book has nothing to do with the plot to assassinate America's only Catholic President, John Kennedy. Rather, it is a long winded attempt to hide the truth.
Richard Case Nagell had nothing whatsoever to do with the tragic event that took place in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963. We know this for certain, as Nagell was in federal custody for a bank robbery attempt in El Paso at the time of the assassination. Author Russell here spins a convoluted and unbelievable tale suggesting that Nagell had himself arrested in order to provide a perfect alibi. If you believe this tale, you probably also believe Elvis is still alive and living quietly in Holly Springs, Mississippi. I, for one, believe neither.
In the corpus of this text, Russell insinuates that various and sundry groups and individuals may have been involved in the plot to kill the President. His list of potential suspects includes, but is not limited to, the following:
The Soviets
The Nazis
anti-Castro Cubans
The Castro government
Right Wing Extremists
The Socialist Worker's Party
The Italian Mafia
Military Intelligence
Explicity policed out of Russell's account are the likely perpetrators, including the CIA, Mossad, and the Meyer Lanksy Crime Syndicate. From this, we can conclude that this work of Russell's is nothing but disinformation. We are extremely suspicious of its favorable reviews. Nobody could plow through the "x-files murkiness" of this text and come out of it more enlightened as to the facts of November 22, 1963 than they were when they began. The book is a waste of time and money. Those truly interested in this terribly important mystery are advised to read carefully, the following:
Final Judgment by Michael Collins Piper
Opium Lords by Salvador Astrucia
Kill Zone by Craig Roberts
God bless.
Absolutely Stunning! February 25, 2004

This book, "The Man Who Knew Too Much" by Dick Russell is quite possibly THE very best JFK Assassination book ever written.
Russell makes a startling case for a JFK Assassination resolution with this wonderful, 40th anniversary edition of his book based on the life of Richard Case Nagell.
Nagell, in a word, was an enigma, Just like the assassination that he shed so much light on was also an enigma.......until now.
Nagell, a former CIA man and Military Intelligence agent (As well as KGB agent too!) trusted Dick Russell so much, that he met with him, and corresponded with him for many years. In each of these correspondences, Nagell revealed bits and pieces about what he knew about the Conspiracy to kill JFK, and make no mistake, Nagell knew alot!
Too Much in fact, hence the title of this book.
Nagell stumbled upon the actual assassination plots (Notice I said "Plots", plural) that resulted in the assassination in Dallas, of President John F Kennedy.
That in of itself is startling, but even more startling than that is the fact that Nagell warned FBI Director J Edgar Hoover about the plots to kill Kennedy two months BEFORE the assassination took place!
Russell meticulously puts all of the loose ends of Nagell's story together and forms a very plausible solution to the assassination, and exposes who very well could be the true forces behind the murder of JFK.
You may ask, "What makes this book any different from other JFK Assassination books?"
The answer is that the other JFK Assassination books didnt have PROVEN sources that were actually involved with the people who killed Kennedy. Russell's source (Nagell) WAS DIRECTLY INVOLVED! Nagell was not only involved with these people, but he actually infiltrated the group and tape recorded them talking about the assassination of Kennedy!
Nagell also claims to have a photo of him and Lee Harvey Oswald.
It is proven that Nagell and Oswald had lots in common......so much so that Nagell thought that he himself may have been a consideration for the Patsy in the murder. And this takes us full circle into how Nagell's story became public to begin with......Nagell purposely got himself arrested so that he would have an alibi for his whereabouts two months later when Kennedy was killed!
Nagell was "The Man Who Knew Too Much" and he was put into a horrible position that forced him to work with the KGB (The Soviet's equivalent of the CIA). In fact, Nagell was hired by the KGB to kill someone. Someone VERY familiar to JFK assassination researchers. Someone named Lee Harvey Oswald!
It is a long, immensely exciting story, but I will leave the rest for Russell to tell you about.
When you read this book, it will feel as if you are actually learning the truth, the REAL truth about the assassination of JFK. Its almost as if you have secretly broken into the government's secret vault marked "Truth about the JFK Assassination".
You will be transported right into the true circumstances that resulted in the assassination, and you will finally understand many of the aspects of the murder that have been a mystery for over 40 years.
If ever a book was worthy of being made into a Hollywood Blockbuster movie, it is this book. And it may well yet be made into a movie. It certainly is full of mystery, intrigue, excitement, and many other elements that make this book a great candidate for a big budget movie.
This book is the utlimate "Spy Novel".
It makes the James Bond movies pale in comparison, because this story is a true one!
For the most interesting, exciting, and startling JFK assassination book you will ever read, I highly recommend this book.
Did Richard Case Nagell stumble upon the actual JFK Assassination plot? I will leave that for you to decide. But while you are pondering that question, keep this in mind........ Nagell was finally about to tell his story to an official government committee, but was found dead in his apartment before he ever had a chance to tell the Commitee all that he knew about the case.
The mystery has only deepened with Nagell's death.
To fully understand the JFK murder mystery, this book is a must read!
By the way, what was the cause of Nagell's death?
Well, just between you and I, .....the cause of death was in all likelihood because Nagell truly was "The Man Who Knew Too Much".
Undeniable. Read from the ARRB's Final Report for yourself.. January 2, 2004

I am now in my 4th year of ongoing research into the lives of JFK/RFK and their assassinations, which will soon culminate in the writing of a historical fiction volume(s). I have over 1,000 pages of typed notes on my laptop. My bibliography is 6 pages long to date. I have been to Dealey Plaza, and I have researched at the National Archives.
To summarize my opinion of this relatively unheard of, brilliantly presented account of Richard Case Nagell's life and its implications, I am simply going to show you one quote.
In 1994, the Assassinations Records Review Board (ARRB) attempted to contact Mr. Nagell pertaining to their investigation into the declassification of documents relating to JFK's death. They were the first governmental committee to do so. The Warren Commission never did, and neither did the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) in 1976. The ARRB dispatched notification to Mr. Nagell in October 1994, which was 2 years after Nagell first told his story to the author of this book, Dick Russell.
The ARRB's Final Report was released in 1995. This quote is from page 133 of that Report:
"Subsequently, the Review Board was informed that Nagell had been found dead in his Los Angeles apartment the day after the ARRB's letter was mailed. (The coroner ruled that he died as a result of natural causes.)"
