Ciccone has just updated the original 1991 schematic map of Dealey Plaza, a 24" x 36" blueprint map, which will plot the location of 343 witnesses, including approximately half of the motorcade vehicles and their occupants.  The Master List and Schematic will supplement each other; the list providing details too numerous to include on the map, and the map as a convenient visual reference for study or lecture presentations.  AVAILABLE NOW!!

The Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy

Similar to his compilation and documentation of eyewitnesses to the assassination of President Kennedy, Ciccone is constructing a 24” x 36” blueprint schematic map of the Ambassador Hotel as it relates to the assassination of Senator Robert Kennedy, plotting the location of 241 eyewitnesses. It will be accompanied by a detailed and fully annotated master list of witnesses, detailing their full names; occupations; where they were and who they were with; impressions of the number of shots; the distance of Sirhan Sirhan’s gun from Senator Kennedy; and other points of interest.

Illinois Black Panther Party Deputy Chairman Fred Hampton (1948-1969)

Ciccone is writing two books on Fred Hampton. The first, If I Die Before I Wake: The Assassination of Fred Hampton, will be a detailed look at the controversial death of Hampton, who was shot to death on December 4, 1969, during a pre-dawn raid on his Chicago apartment by an elite team of law enforcement officers from the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, and with the cooperation of the FBI and Chicago Police Department.

The second book, Let Me Say, in the Spirit of Liberation: The Life and Legacy of Fred Hampton, will be a biographical look at Hampton’s 21-year life, including his speeches, letters, writings, and interviews. From his days as the leader of the youth branch of the NAACP in Maywood, Illinois, to his co-founding and leadership of the Illinois Chapter of the Black Panther Party, Let Me Say… will reveal the importance and significance Hampton’s life, and what it still holds 40 years later.

Robert Palmer (1949-2003)

Ciccone is writing a biographical look at singer, musician, and producer Robert Palmer. Life in Detail: The Life and Music of Robert Palmer will be the first serious treatment of the life of one of pop music’s most underrated and misinterpreted contributors. Culling and utilizing rare print and recorded interviews, as well as sharing the profound and personal stories told by those closest to Palmer, Life in Detail seeks to alter the long held public image of Palmer as an Italian suit-wearing, blue-eyed-soul-singing playboy, and reveal him to be a devotee of and contributor to world music; an innovator of pop music; and a composer and performer who didn’t merely surround himself with renowned musicians from around the world, but brought out the best in them.
