Accessories After the Fact: The Warren Commission, the Authorities & the Report on the JFK Assassination: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Accessories After the Fact: The Warren Commission, the Authorities & the Report on the JFK Assassination" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Originally published in 1967, Meaghers masterful dissection of the Warren Report, based on the Warren Commissions own evidence, has stood the test of time. In some cases, declassifications of government records have corroborated the authors suspicions and analyses, such as her amazing assertion that Oswald had never actually been charged with Kennedys murder, despite sworn testimony to the contrary. Meaghers book raises serious questions not only about Oswalds 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 readers are still discovering what made her work so important.

Preface

As a Senator investigating certain aspects of the Warren Commission inquiry, I have found Sylvia Meaghers Accessories After the Fact to be an indispensable research tool.

Yet to appreciate fully the significance of Mrs. Meaghers work, it is necessary to go back to the fall of 1964, when the Warren Commission Report was released.

Most Americans initially accepted the Commissions findings that Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, assassinated President Kennedy. Some had doubts but dismissed them because of the reputation of the men and agencies who served the Commission, the major medias immediate endorsement of the Report, and the hyperbolic and wildly speculative assertions of some Warren Commission skeptics.

Fortunately, Sylvia Meagher had the courage to cast a critical eyeand, more importantly, an objective eyeon the Warren Report.

It wasnt until Watergate and my services on the Senate Intelligence Committee that I began to question much of what I had accepted about the Report. And when I had questions, there always seemed to be answers in Accessories After the Fact.

The significance of this book cannot be overstated. It is by far the most meticulous and compelling indictment of the Warren Commission Report. Through her painstaking attention to detail, Sylvia Meagher has exposed the gross inconsistencies between the Commissions Final Report and the twenty-six volumes of evidence it reviewed. One only need read her passage on the appearance of the magic bullet at Parkland Hospital, or the Oswald police lineup, to appreciate the degree to which the Report has been devastated.

In addition to Accessories After the Fact , Mrs. Meagher has made a second major contribution to research in this field by compiling a complete index to the Warren Report and exhibits. For reasons yet unknown, the
