What they're saying...


"...Unquestionably the definitive book on the murder of Officer J.D. Tippit. Myers has made a very significant and scholarly contribution to the literature on the assassination of JFK. Absolutely must reading for any student of this national tragedy. A superb true crime book which I recommend highly."

Vincent T. Bugliosi, renowned prosecutor and author of Helter Skelter and Reclaiming History: The assassination of President John F. Kennedy


"Please accept our heartfelt appreciation for your fine book about J.D. Tippit. Your meticulous and detailed book is the first truly accurate account we've seen in the fifty years since the Kennedy assassination. It is also a very fine read - we family members agree that it was hard to put down. J.D. Tippit was always a hero to our family and now, thanks to your insightful book, he will be a hero to the world.

"I still wonder what would have been the consequences for Dallas had Oswald escaped? Until author Dale Myers so painstakingly retraced the event, the person I consider a national hero, Officer Tippit, had remained largely a faceless player in the JFK assassination cast. Yet Tippit's showdown with Oswald had a momentous impact on the outcome. Thanks to Myers, maybe history will remember the price Tippit paid in the performance of duty in 1963."

James Ewell, former Dallas Morning News reporter


"Dale Myers' book is the absolute best ever written concerning the murder of Dallas cop J. D. Tippit. It contains new information, is written superbly and should be read by anybody interested in the complex JFK tragedy. Most importantly of all, it is truth, something often missing from JFK assassination exploitation."

Hugh Aynesworth, former Dallas Morning News reporter


"...a fascinating web of fact vs. fantasy, of the frantic confusion that began with the shots that killed the President on November 22, 1963 ...Thirty-five years later, Myers has wrapped up the story. His answers make sense. They're supported by pillars of fact and analysis. They should stand."

Robert H. Johnson, Associated Press, Chief of Bureau for Texas

"With Malice by Dale Myers has finally cut through the veneer of insinuations and innuendoes applied by the conspiracy buffs for the past thirty odd years. He has cleared up the points of confusion brought on by the rumors and hearsay that had no basis of facts. This book will clear up many questions for the reader about the murder of Officer J.D. Tippit and the assassination of President Kennedy."

James R. Leavelle, former Dallas police homicide detective


"...As I read [With Malice], I found myself once again caught up in the tragic events of that day in Dallas...reliving the capture of Oswald. [With Malice] is thoroughly researched and well organized... [including] photographs and illustrations I have never seen...An orderly exploration of the true facts."

M.N. "Nick" McDonald, former Dallas police officer who arrested Oswald


"...[With Malice] is by far one of the best and most interesting books surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy that I have read. No doubt [Myers] put in many years of research to write such an outstanding book."

Paul Bentley, former Dallas police detective who helped arrest Oswald


"In his fine and powerful new book, With Malice: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Murder of Officer J.D. Tippit, author Dale K. Myers wisely avoids the temptation to speculate on the role Mr. Oswald played - or didn't play - in the death of the president. But in the course of a [864 page] tome, he gives compelling evidence that Mr. Oswald, and he alone, killed Officer J.D. Tippit with three shots to the chest and a final coup de grace to the head. So convincing is the case he makes that anyone reading this finely crafted account may automatically conclude that Mr. Oswald killed not only Officer Tippit but also the president. Even Mr. Myers once believed that the killing of Officer Tippit was the work of conspirators. Apparently all it took to convince him otherwise was the tireless task of leaving no stone unturned. David W. Belin, assistant counsel to the Warren Commission, once called the slaying of Officer Tippit 'the Rosetta Stone' that helped unravel the mystery of the president's murder. But [fifty] years after the crime, Mr. Myers does far more than the commission ever did in helping us understand the murder of the police officer and why, in fact, the Rosetta Stone comparison makes sense..."

Michael Granberry, The Dallas Morning News


"...With Malice is an exhaustive, multi-dimensional study of this key episode of November 22, 1963. Myers has gathered and reexamined the voluminous primary sources, has uncovered new information and material - and for the first time - has melded this material to come up with a credible conclusion of the guilt of Lee Oswald in the murder of J.D. Tippit. Scores of documents, diagrams and photographs add to the clarity of Myers' text and assist in making this [864] page volume both attractive and useful. While Myers cannot answer all the questions relating to this incident, since the murder of both chief participants silenced motives and previous actions, the author is able to dispel much previous incorrect speculation and clear up numerous controversies. Dale Myers has written the authoritative book on the murder of Officer Tippit. His book will stand as a major contribution to the truth of the events in Dallas on November 22, 1963."

Richard B. Trask, archivist and author of Pictures of the Pain and That Day in Dallas


"One does not have to accept all of Dale Myers' findings to recognize the value of this, the first serious study of the Tippit murder, a vital element in the assassination story long neglected by official and unofficial probers alike."

Anthony Summers, author of Not in Your Lifetime


"Without a doubt, [With Malice] is one of the best books on the JFK assassination I've ever read. It is thoroughly researched, well-written and filled with many new details - all and all, a very scholarly and extremely interesting work...I expect that this will be the definitive work on the Tippit case...definitely a 'must read'..."

Jean Davison, author of Oswald's Game


"At last a comprehensive study of an often overlooked aspect of the Kennedy assassination: the murder of Officer J.D. Tippit. Dale Myers has conducted exhaustive research on the subject and used logical reasoning in his conclusions. He has mastered the art of blending documented evidence and personal interviews into resolving an often debated murder mystery. Though there will always be doubters, Myers has conclusively answered most of the questions regarding the guilt of Lee Harvey Oswald in the murder of Officer Tippit. Supplemented with an impressive array of photographs and endnotes, With Malice is the definitive study on the subject and should remain so for many years to come."

Larry Sneed, author of No More Silence
