M.N. ("Nick") McDonald, one of the Dallas police officers who arrested Oswald,
says of this book:
"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."
The author tells us how he researched and wrote his book.
"For more than twenty years, I sifted through documents and testimony in an
attempt to piece together the truth about Tippit's murder. Although the story
they told was fascinating, I soon found the 'human element' the key to
unraveling many of the myths and rumors that have sprung up around this case.
"Interviewing many of those involved in this story was an unexpected
eye-opener. Their recollections flushed out many of the details that have
puzzled students of the assassination over the years. Their stories put a human
face on the Tippit drama, and supplied emotion where cold fact had once stood
guard. In an effort to capture at least some of this essential human ingredient,
much of the dialogue and memories in this book are verbatim from transcripts,
testimony, and recollections. This is their story, in their own words."
