Critical Analysis
Vincent Bugliosi, author of Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, has characterized Files as "the Rodney Dangerfield of Kennedy assassins." According to Bugliosi, very few within the community of people who believe there was a conspiracy to kill Kennedy respect him or his story. Conspiracy author Jerome Kroth described Files as "surprisingly credible" and said his story "is the most believable and persuasive" about the assassination.
According to John C. McAdams, Files has changed his story on numerous occasions. Other critics have questioned the historical accuracy of some of his claims, plus inaccurate descriptions of the weapon he says he used.

“A commodity appears at first sight an extremely obvious, trivial thing. But its analysis brings out that it is a very strange thing, abounding in metaphysical subtleties and theological niceties.”
