Stevens began writing the book on [[22 January]] [[1996]], completing it shortly before his disappearance in [[April]] of that year. Using his notes from [[October]] [[1969]] to [[September]] [[1971]], Stevens wrote an exposé detailing his investigations of [[the Doctor]], [[Unified Intelligence Taskforce|UNIT]], [[Department C19]] and the numerous [[alien]] invasions which befell [[Earth]] during the late [[1960s]] and early [[1970s]]. | Stevens began writing the book on [[22 January]] [[1996]], completing it shortly before his disappearance in [[April]] of that year.

While primarily focussed on these investigations, the book also provides details of Stevens' personal life, such as the fact that he was born in [[New Zealand]] on [[22 November]] [[1945]] as the illegitimate son of a wealthy 17-year-old girl and an [[United States of America|American]] GI who died before he was born.

His interest in journalism was sparked by the [[Assassination of John F. Kennedy|assassination]] of [[President of the United States|U.S. President]] [[John F. Kennedy]] on his 18th birthday in [[1963]]. After moving to the [[United Kingdom]] in [[1968]], he married [[Natasha Stevens|Natasha Howarth]], the daughter of [[Howarth (Who Killed Kennedy)|Lord Howarth]], in [[September]] 1969. However, their marriage proved to short-lived due to Stevens cheating on her with another woman, also named Natasha. | ||
In October 1969, Stevens began researching the book when he was working for the ''[[Daily Chronicle]]''. Through the paper's crank line, he received a report from an [[Ashbridge Cottage Hospital]] porter named [[Mullins]] that a [[Third Doctor|man with inhuman blood]] had been admitted into the hospital. Upon arriving at the hospital, Stevens noticed the presence of [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart]], the commander of the British division of UNIT. Several days later, the United Kingdom suffered its worst terrorist attack of the 1970s. Unbeknownst to Stevens, [[Black Thursday]] was in actuality a cover story for the attempted [[Nestene]] invasion of Earth. These two incidents marked the beginning of Stevens' two year investigation of UNIT, C19 and a series of ''agent provocateurs'' known as "[[the Doctor]]" who had been involved in numerous unusual incidents over the course of almost thirty years. He believed that these "Doctor" agents were malevolent figures in the employ of C19 and, along with UNIT, were secretly working against the interests of the United Kingdom. | In October 1969, Stevens began researching the book when he was working for the ''[[Daily Chronicle]]''.

''Who Killed Kennedy'' was the fictional book-within-a-book contained in full in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' [[Who Killed Kennedy (novel)|novel of the same]]. Most of the events of the novel can be assumed to be within the fictional book, but the novel certainly contains things that weren't in the fictional book. However, it is difficult to separate the two with any degree of specificity. | ''Who Killed Kennedy'' was the fictional book-within-a-book contained in full in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' [[Who Killed Kennedy (novel)|novel of the same]].
