There have been a number of translations of James Douglass’ nonpareil work, JFK and the Unspeakable – Why He Died and Why It Matters, first published by Orbis Books in 2008.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s endorsement is on the cover of the 2013 50th Anniversary Edition:

In JFK and the Unspeakable Jim Douglass has distilled all the best available research into a very well-documented and convincing portrait of President Kennedy’s transforming turn to peace, at the cost of his life. Personally, it has made a very big impact on me. After reading it in Dallas, I was moved for the first time to visit Dealey Plaza. I urge all American to read this book and come to their own conclusions about why he died and why—after fifty years—it still maters.

In addition to the Korean (2011), French (2013), and Japanense (2014) editions, a Russian edition was published in December 2018 by Alpina Publishers, Moscow. Oliver Stone wrote a new Foreword for this edition and the English original version is here.
