Newman has a background in intelligence, and used that to examine known intelligence documents for his first books, Oswald and the CIA, and JFK and Vietnam.
For years, he's been writing a 5-at-least volume set of books titled about the JFK assassination, but mostly about other topics. He's written about the history of the CIA, Martin Luther King, and more.
Hit latest book is volume 4 - Finding Popov's Mole. This is a book I can't recommend to 99% of people, but it's a heck of a book for people who want the topic.
Popov was a KGB agent who defected in place (remained in the KGB) to the CIA in the 1950's, and he revealed that there was a high level mole in the CIA. He didn't know their name, but they were able to leak information on the U-2 among other things.
Newman has new, unique research leading him to suspect the mole, who was never found, was the CIA's top molehunter. It's quite an education on the war between the KGB and CIA during the 1950's. One of the links to the assassination is the theory that this mole created a false hunt for the mole that included sending Oswald to Russia to try to trigger a reaction that would lead to the mole.
The other secondary topic of the book is a history of the US's military and nuclear weapons that is pretty remarkable. We were a lot, lot closer to destroying the world than people realize.
The book is poorly edited, but content you don't find elsewhere.
