WALTER HERBS is author of Last Resort Beyond Last Resort – The JFK Assassination, the Need to Protect West Berlin, and Why a Second Invasion of Cuba Never Happened
Beyond historical scholarship, Herbst brings firsthand professional experience as an engineer with a major oil company, including time working in Venezuela. That experience gives him a rare, ground-level understanding of the country’s political economy, energy sector, and institutional decay. He has closely observed how authoritarian regimes exploit resource wealth—and how China strategically leverages financing, infrastructure, and market control to entrench its influence in Venezuela. This dual background in geopolitics and energy economics allows Herbst to connect historical power struggles with today’s global energy and strategic conflicts.
Author Walter Herbst brings more than four decades of intensive, independent research to uncovering the forces behind the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the broader geopolitical currents of the twentieth century. His work examines the rise of the radical right, the Cold War power struggle, and America’s long effort to contain global communism. Herbst has written three books on the Kennedy assassination, including It Did Not Start With JFK – The Decades of Events That Led to the Assassination of John F. Kennedy, Volumes 1 and 2, and Last Resort Beyond Last Resort – The JFK Assassination, the Need to Protect West Berlin, and Why a Second Invasion of Cuba Never Happened, which explores the Cold War motivations behind the murder of the president.
