Born in Nykarleby, Finland
in 1949, author and historian Anders Smedberg, has been interested in
immigration of the Finn-Swedes to North America during the beginning of the
last century. His written work includes articles and books on human destinies
and demographic development issues within the Finn-Swedish language group.
Currently living in Hirvlax, Finland, Smedberg has a Master's degree in Social
Policy, as well as advanced studies in sociology, public administration,
political science, and demographics.
Over the past ten years he has worked on the topic that for
a long time has captivated and deeply affected him on a personal level: the
multi-layered conspiracy surrounding the murder of the thirty-fifth President
of the United States, John F. Kennedy, along with the political developments in
the early 1960s, and the political and social issues that largely contributed
to the assassination of this President. The politically controlled and
manipulated Warren Commission's report has been the basis and motivation for
the research that led to his latest book, The Question of the
Century.
In this book he lays the Warren Commissions evidence and
conclusions against previously classified information, now declassified. The
book dissects the information in chapters, which, with the final summary,
raises a number of issues that may be considered unpleasant and sometimes
frightening, concerning the political and social developments since the Kennedy
era.
In 2013, fifty years after the tragic events in Dallas, Texas, we
must wait another twenty-five years before all classified material is to be
released. Seventy-five years of secrecy laid upon a murder that the Warren
Commission claims was carried out by a "lone madman," can only generate for the
world The Question of the Century—what really happened in Dallas on
November 22, 1963?
The book is currently available only in the
Swedish language.

 Anders Smedberg,
född i Nykarleby, Finland år 1949, har i ett antal tidigare
böcker intresserat sig för emigrationen från Svenskfinland
under det förra sekelskiftet, människoöden och demografiska
utvecklingsfrågor inom den finlandssvenska språkgruppen. Smedberg
har en Politices Magisterexamen inom socialpolitik samt utvecklade studier i
sociologi, offentlig förvaltning, statskunskap och demografi.
Under de senaste tio åren har han arbetet med det ämne och
den fråga som under lång tid både fascinerat och djupt
berört honom; nämligen konspirationen runt och mordet på
Förenta Staternas trettiofemte president John F. Kennedy, den politiska
oron i samhället under det tidiga 1960-talet och de
samhällsfrågor som starkt bidrog till mordet på president
Kennedy. Den politiskt styrda och manipulerade Warrenkommissionens rapport har
legat som grund och motivation till forskningen som lett fram till boken,
Århundradets frågeställning.
I denna bok lägger han
Warrenkommissionens material och konklusion mot i dag frisläppt, tidigare
sekretessbelagd information. Boken ger i sin både kapitelvis och slutliga
sammanfattning ett antal frågeställningar som både kan anses
obehagliga och i vissa fall skrämmande, med hänvisning till den
politiska och samhälleliga utvecklingen efter Kennedy-eran.
År 2013, femtio år efter händelserna i Dallas, Texas
måste vi ännu vänta i ytterligare tjugofem år innan allt
hemligstämplat material har släppts fritt. En sjuttiofemårig
sekretess lagd på ett mord som Warrenkommissionen hävdar att
utfördes av en "ensam galning", enbart detta har lämnat en värld
med århundradets frågeställning - vad hände egentligen i
Dallas den 22 november 1963?

This is the moving and tragic story of Anders Smedberg's uncle
who had gone to America, seeking work in the mines at Telluride, Colorado. The
young man wrote letters home, sending moeny and small gifts, but his life was
violently cut short when he and several others were murdered high in the
mountains above town. The book is currently available only in the Swedish
language.
1919 - September 10, four miners were murdered at the Tomboy
Mine: Gus Danielson, Erik Smith, Alfred Sund, and Celeste Mattivi. A fifth, Joe
Kochize,(or Kochevr a“Slavonian” (according to the newspapers) ) was
shot in the knee by the assailants who brutally attacked the men in the Montana
tunnel of the Tomboy Mining Company. Sund was shot in the chest and the hand,
and after he had fallen to the ground, he was then “shot in the head under
the left ear... [as all the victims were] to make sure that the men were
killed.” The execution-style killings made some believe the attack was
ethnically motivated by a group called “The Black Hand,” and in
November of that year, one of the assailants, August Morletti, was convicted of
the crime. Danielson, Smith, and Sund were sons of Finland: Danielson was born
in Jeppo as Gustav Alfred Heikfolk; Smith was born in Malax, and Sund was born
in Kantlaks Munsala, Finland. His grave in Lone Tree Cemetery once carried the
inscription: Alfred Sund född 1898 i Kantlaks Munsala avled i Telluride
Colo 1919 † 9† 10.
