Abstract

Kennedy before a whole library shelf of analysis, criticism and contradiction poured from the typewriters of American journalists, lawyers and academics, whereas here in Australia, 13 years after the inauguration of the Petrov Royal Commission, the only exposure of this most scandalous episode in Australian politico-legal history has been undertaken by a Communist writer and predictably treated as a non-book by press, pulpit and parliament?
