Kennedy Controversy
With his book on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Summers took a middle road – avoiding the wilder conspiracy theories while throwing doubt on the findings of the Warren Commission. He reported in detail, adding the results of his own interviewing, on the finding of Congress' Assassinations Committee that the "committee believes, on the basis of the available evidence, that President John F. Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy". As did the Committee, he allowed for the possibility that major organized crime figures combined with anti-Castro elements – perhaps with the connivance of some CIA personnel – were behind the plot.
