Book reading at Evanston Public Library

Everything Americans think about the assassination of President John Kennedy could be false, according to authors John Hughes and Antoinette Giancana, who will be speaking Saturday.

Hughes and Giancana, daughter of Mafia Chief Sam Giancana, will lecture at the Evanston Public Library Saturday afternoon about their book, “JFK and Sam: The Connection Between the Giancana and Kennedy Assassinations.” It’s based on the premise that Sam Giancana ordered Kennedy’s assassination.

Laura Dudnik, head of reader services for the library, said the book follows the assassination team’s path and chronicles the team leader’s life. Hughes provides support for the assassin’s story by using Kennedy’s medical data to show what could have happened, Dudnik said.

“It basically says that Lee Harvey Oswald was just the fall guy,” Dudnik said. “It’s a topic that’s perennially interesting to people.”
