Story
German born Joachim Joesten, who worked for Newsweek magazine before becoming a freelance writer in 1944, published Oswald, Assassin or Fall Guy? in 1964, prior to the release of the Warren Report. Surprisingly, at that early date, the foundation of doubt that would pervade the assassination research community for the next 50 years and beyond, was already well in place. Like other early authors who questioned the official Government verdict, Joesten had to have this book published outside the United States.

'It might not be in your lifetime,' said the Chief Justice of the United States when asked whether the files on the assassination of President Kennedy would be made public. If the President was killed by a lone gunman, as the first official enquiry claimed, why can we still not see all relevant records? Fifty years on and the murder of the century remains unsolved. Drawing on thirty years of investigation, Anthony Summers examines the case in compelling, forensic detail.

Story
Almost 50 years after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, his murder continues to haunt the American psyche and stands as a turning point in our nation’s history. The Warren Commission rushed out its report in 1964, but questions continue to linger: Was there a conspiracy? Was there a coup at the highest levels of government? On March 1, 1967, New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison shocked the world by arresting local businessman Clay Shaw for conspiracy to murder the president.

At the height of the Cold War, JFK risked committing the greatest crime in human history: starting a nuclear war. Horrified by the specter of nuclear annihilation, Kennedy gradually turned away from his long-held Cold Warrior beliefs and toward a policy of lasting peace. But to the military and intelligence agencies in the United States, who were committed to winning the Cold War at any cost, Kennedy's change of heart was a direct threat to their power and influence.

A Lie Too Big to Fail asserts the idea that a government can never investigate itself in a crime of this magnitude. Was the convicted Sirhan Sirhan a willing participant? Or was he a mind-controlled assassin? It has fallen to independent researchers like Pease to lay out the evidence in a clear and concise manner, allowing listeners to form their theories about this event. Pease places the history of this event in the context of the era and provides shocking overlaps between other high-profile murders and attempted murders of the time.

Working with thousands of previously unreleased documents and drawing on more than one thousand interviews, with many witnesses speaking out for the first time, Joan Mellen revisits the investigation of New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison, the only public official to have indicted, in 1969, a suspect in President John F. Kennedy's murder. Garrison began by exposing the contradictions in the Warren Report, which concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald was an unstable pro-Castro Marxist who acted alone in killing Kennedy.

For half a century, people have debated the Kennedy assassination. Some claim that the Warren Commission got it right - that Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald, a lone-nut assassin. Others contend that Kennedy was killed as part of a conspiracy. It is not the purpose of this book to engage in that debate. The purpose of this book is simply to focus on what happened at Bethesda Naval Hospital on the evening of November 22, 1963.

Most people think Walter Cronkite was the first to tell America about the assassination. But when Cronkite broke the news on TV, he read from one of Smith's dispatches.

Editor reviews
Still damning decades after its original publication in 1967, Sylvia Meagher's Accessories After the Fact remains one of the most credible criticisms of the Warren Commission and its conclusions. Shockingly, some of Meagher's most daring assertions - such as the idea that Oswald was never charged with murder - have since been revealed to be true. Narrated with a somber authority by stage and screen actor Noah Michael Levine, this audiobook is a chilling listen that will fill listeners with doubt about the honesty and trustworthiness of the Warren Commission and the FBI.
Summary
A classic of JFK assassination literature, Sylvia Meagher's work is a relentless indictment of the Warren Commission and its work. Originally published in 1967, Meagher's masterful dissection of the Warren Report, based on the Warren Commission's own evidence, has stood the test of time. In some cases, declassifications of government records have corroborated the author's suspicions and analyses, such as her amazing assertion that Oswald had never actually been charged with Kennedy's murder, despite sworn testimony to the contrary. Meagher's audiobook raises serious questions not only about Oswald's guilt in the JFK assassination and related crimes, such as the Tippit murder and the Walker shooting, but also about the methods and honesty of the Warren Commission, the FBI, and various Dallas police and other officials. When the Church Committee first began to re-examine the Warren Commission and its relationship with intelligence agencies in 1975, investigators were shocked by what they discovered. In Accessories After the Fact, Sylvia Meagher delivers a blistering blow to the credibility of the Warren Report, and decades after its original publication researchers and listeners are still discovering what made her work so important.

If you could sum up Accessories After the Fact in three words, what would they be?
Gripping and forensic.
Any additional comments?
Even if you don't have a fascination with the assassination of JFK, this will grip you. The detail is amazing and the extent to which it offers a complete dissection of the Warren Commission's report is incredible. I could only listen to the book during my 45 minute commute. I didn't want to press the stop button.

The basics
From a neutral standpoint this book deals with the flaws mainly in the investigation of the warren report. It’s very thorough. I would recommend it to anyone as a base of knowledge into the case of the assassination of president John F Kennedy.

Classic critique of the Warren Commission report
Accessories after the fact is Sylvia Meaghers scathing assessment and critique of the Warren Commission's report into the assassination of JFK. Despite it being first published in 1967 its astonishing how well it has stood the test of time and the slow drip of information which has subsequently come into the public domain principally as a result of a torrent of freedom of information requests (from Harold Weisberg and Mark Lane), the HSCA investigation, and the ARRB. Many of Mrs Meaghers suspicions in 1967 have indeed been proved correct, Oswald's fictitious trip to Mexico city in order to obtain a transit visa to the Soviet Union via Cuba comes first to mind. By diligently combing through the Commissions own 26 volumes of evidence (whilst compiling the first publicly available index) Mrs Meagher points out the glaring contradictions between the evidence and the final 27th volume containing the conclusion. Even if one accepts the Commissions conclusion of a lone assassin there was so many unresolved contradictions, leads not followed and loose ends left that one is left to conclude that the late president was very badly let down by both the Dallas police department, the FBI and the Commission itself. Mrs Meagher has well earned her title of the Miss Marple of the JFK assassination.
For anybody interested in the JFK assassination this book is an absolute must read one of the oldest and best books available. The audible book is superbly read by Noah Michael Levine. Highly recommended.

The Warren Commission destruction.
After reading numerous books on the Assassination of JFK, including books by "Lone Nut" defenders and "Conspiracy" believers, "Accessories After The Fact" by Sylvia Meagher is the most thoroughly detailed and devastating critique of the Warren Commission I have ever read. Since it was written before the HSCA and ARRB, a few topics have been shown to be innocent, but the overwhelming majority are devastating and still unanswered. If you ever wonder why defenders of the Warren Commission have to turn debates into name calling, moronic side shows when the official story is challenged by Conspiracy Realists, just read this book. For them it's hard to defend "evidence" that crumbles when studied in depth. No, it's not that people can't accept that a President can be killed by a single "lunatic". To serious researchers it was, and still is the ridiculous evidence, CE399 "magic bullet" that supposedly made 7 wounds to 2 men, yet obviously didn't hit anyone, it's that the scope on the rifle was not sighted in. Ask any hunter how accurate they would be with a misaligned scope. It's the 20 plus doctors and hospital employees who treated the president immediately after the shooting and said there was a big hole in the back of jfk's head etc.

The most important early book on the JFK assassination
Accessories After the Fact is a damning indictment of the gross over site and neglect to the truth about Lee Oswald, Jack Ruby and the assassination of JFK. Published in 1967, it is just as vital now as it was then. The Warren Commission (WC) was a body composed of men who had a set agenda; they were to uphold a pre-determined outcome and did so. Meagher adeptly points out the numerous flaws and neglectful questions and obfuscations .

Excellent analysis but no smoking gun
This is a very good book to read in combination to the WC report. It details some important things the WC glossed over. However it still fails to overthrow the basic conclusion of the WC.
