<p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>This volume features two books in one: Stanley J. Marks' </span><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Murder Most Foul! </em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>and Rob Couteau's biographical essay that surveys the life and work of this author of a forgotten classic. It also includes an in-depth examination of </span><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Murder Most Foul!</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> that shows how and why it was so far ahead of its time and that places it in the context of other researchers past and present. Couteau shares his detective work in unraveling the clues of Marks' Zelig-like biography which touches on so many pivotal moments in 20th-century cultural and political history. This groundbreaking biography was also produced with the help of Marks' only child Roberta Marks. JFK scholar Jim DiEugenio calls Couteau's work important first-rate and a wonderful homage to one of the most important critics of the Warren Report ever ... and an unsung hero in the JFK case. Stanley Marks was rocket miles ahead of everyone. He really understood the big picture early. And not just on the JFK case. DiEugenio is the foremost scholar on the Kennedy assassination author of </span><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Destiny Betrayed: JFK Cuba and the Garrison Case</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> and scriptwriter for Oliver Stone's documentary </span><em style=color: rgba(13 13 13 1)>JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass</em><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> </em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>(2021). With the release of Bob Dylan's ballad Murder Most Foul which may have been influenced by Marks' book interest in the author has been reawakened largely as a result of Couteau's first article on Marks. More than fifty years after the publication of </span><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Murder Most Foul! </em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>the text still resonates with a prescient vision. A fearless author who was blacklisted by HUAC Marks was one of the first American researchers to draw a direct connection between the murders of JFK MLK and RFK. In 1973 the JFK Library contacted Marks with a request to purchase </span><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Murder Most Foul!</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> In 1979 the House of Representatives Select Subcommittee on Assassinations cited five of Marks' assassination-related titles (including </span><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Murder Most Foul!</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>) in its report. Marks published nineteen books on politics and religion one of which received accolades from Arnold Toynbee and Herbert Marcuse. His first book a bestseller titled </span><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>The Bear that Walks Like a Man</em><em style=color: rgba(13 13 13 1)>: A Diplomatic and Military Analysis of Soviet Russia </em><span style=color: rgba(13 13 13 1)>(1943)</span><strong style=color: rgba(13 13 13 1)></strong><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> was reviewed in over thirty mainstream newspapers.</span></p>
