Biography

Writing

In his book Case Closed, Posner presents evidence that both John F. Kennedy's assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, and that man's assassin, Jack Ruby, acted alone, without the aid of a conspiracy. Case Closed was nominated for the 1994 Pulitzer Prize for History.

In his 2003 book Secrets of the Kingdom: The Inside Story of the Secret Saudi-U.S. Connection, Posner provides an account of the "close" business and personal relationship between the House of Saud and the U.S. government, including discussions of "dirty bomb" technology and financial/political maneuvering surrounding 9/11.

Another 2003 book by Posner, Why America Slept, discusses the conspiracy of the Arab al-Qaeda terrorists who were responsible for the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Posner, a strong supporter of Al Gore, wrote a Wall Street Journal editorial on September 25, 2001 reversing his opinion of George W. Bush in light of the September 11 attacks.[1]
