LBJ’s Mortal Wound — The Don Reynolds Story takes readers deep into the shadows of American politics, revealing the untold battles of a family caught in the crosshairs of the most powerful man in the world: President Lyndon Baines Johnson. Set against the backdrop of the tumultuous 1960s and the shocking assassination of President John F. Kennedy, this riveting account unveils the harrowing journey of Don Reynolds, an ordinary insurance salesman who was thrust into extraordinary circumstances.

Through never-before-seen family archives, gripping Senate testimony, and the secretive LBJ White House tapes, the book exposes the chilling extent of political corruption, backroom deals, and the lengths to which one man would go to preserve his power. As Don Reynolds’ explosive testimony on the day of JFK’s assassination threatened to bring down a sitting vice president, his family was besieged by threats and violence, forcing him into exile and altering their lives forever.

Author Bob Nelson, Don Reynolds’ nephew, provides an intimate and eye-opening narrative, intertwining his family’s personal struggles with the high-stakes drama of Washington politics. Through meticulous research Nelson brings to light a legacy that had been buried for decades — a legacy that casts new doubts on one of America’s most controversial presidencies. Nelson requested government documents about Don Reynolds; the FBI notified him there were 17,571 pages.  FOIA requests were made to get them, but the FBI released only 47 pages of extraneous information. Nelson and his FOIA researcher have waited since January 2021; the FBI has yet to released the thousands of relevant documents.

This is a story not just about a man’s bravery, but about how one whistleblower’s revelations nearly toppled a president, and how the ripples of that conflict continue to affect the political landscape today. LBJ’s Mortal Wound is a must-read for anyone fascinated by the dark underbelly of American power.
