Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Whether a steadfast believer that Oswald acted alone, a staunch conspiracy theorist, or an undecided observer of the John F. Kennedy assassination, this book should be your starting point for research into making an informed judgement. Virtually every book on this subject references the Warren Report, either for support or to point out flaws, inconsistencies, and omissions. The Warren Report can be argued as wrought with errors or even completely false, but one has the responsibility of reading it before passing any judgement, since it was indeed the first official stance taken by the U.S. government regarding the murder of JFK.I give the Warren Report a five star rating not because I purport to stand behind its conclusions, but because I view it as the quintessential starting point on this subject. Far too many opinions have already been cast by individuals who trash this work outright without ever having read it. Judge for yourself, and then move on to enlightened works that either support its findings or take great exception. Regardless of your opinion, it will be an informed one.
