Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa; the highest intelligence official ever to defect from the Soviet bloc; reviews the Kennedy assassination; reveals facts covered up by the Kremlin; and addresses questions left unanswered by official investigations and numerous books. Pacepa is the only investigator of the assassination who had direct knowledge of the KGB's ties to Lee Harvey Oswald. Programmed to Kill places Pacepa's knowledge about the KGB's secret involvement with Oswald in the context of factual reporting that has appeared on the case. The book juxtaposes the KGB modus operandi—mostly unknown to outsiders—against the irrefutable evidence assembled by the FBI and other U.S. investigators.

Professor Sue Eakin also participated in editing Grandfather Solomon's original book as a Professor at Lousiana State University. Now; I can give my 10 year old Granddaughter an excellent family history book.My Granddaughter became so engrossed with the Kids edition that she used it for a school project.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Easy-to-read version of Northup's storyBy David FiskeFor the record: I was slightly acquainted with the late Sue Eakin; the author of this book; and assisted her slightly on another of her books. This book; intended for young readers; is an easy-to-read re-telling of Northup's story. It actually would be appropriate for anyone who wants to quickly absorb the tale. (Northup's own book; Twelve Years a Slave; is readily available; but its 19th Century phraseology could put off some readers.) As someone who has researched Northup; and spoken and written about him; I am closer to the details than most readers would be. There are a few typos and inaccuracies in this work; but they do not impair understanding Northup's experiences. The illustrations help to frame the story; but are not of the highest quality.
