Overview

In the basement kitchen of his Oak Park home, the most powerful criminal in America was cooking sausage and peppers when seven bullets ended forty years of secrets. Secrets about a presidential election that may have been stolen. Secrets about a CIA plot to assassinate a foreign leader using mob hitmen. Secrets about a dead president, a shared mistress, and a deal between a dynasty and a crime empire that was never meant to survive the light of day. Sam Giancana was not supposed to exist in the official version of American history. He was the man nobody admitted knowing until the FBI wiretaps were declassified, the Senate testimony was unsealed, and the pattern became impossible to ignore. He helped elect John F. Kennedy. Kennedy's brother then declared war on everything Giancana had built. He conspired with the CIA to kill Fidel Castro. The CIA then watched him die without lifting a finger. He carried secrets that connected the White House to the underworld, Havana to Chicago, and the Oval Office to a basement kitchen in suburban Illinois and he carried them right up until the moment someone made sure he never had to carry them again. Three men knew what really happened. Two of them were murdered before they could testify. The third died peacefully in his bed. The case is officially unsolved. It has been fifty years. Classified Giggle pulls back the redacted pages of mid-century American history to reveal the criminal bargain at its heart the deal that was made in the dark, the betrayal that followed in the light, and the seven bullets that were meant to guarantee the silence that democratic accountability never could. The full story has never been told. Until now. Classified Giggle is available now. Pick up your copy - and decide for yourself what really happened in America's most consequential decade.
