About the author
Harold Weisberg
40 books7 followersHarold Weisberg was a prolific author & persistent critic of the official report that found a lone gunman responsible for the death of President John F. Kennedy & who was often dubbed the dean of assassination researchers.
Mr. Weisberg's career as the writer of about 10 published & roughly 35 unpublished books on the murders of Kennedy & the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. came last in a series of endeavors. He had been a journalist, a labor investigator for then-Progressive Party Sen. Robert M. La Follette Jr. (Wis.), an investigator for a World War II spy agency, a State Department intelligence analyst & a prize-winning Montgomery County poultry farmer.
In an obsession that kept him in financial hardship during the last 35 years, Mr. Weisberg collected in his home more than 250,000 government papers on the 1963 Kennedy assassination & scoured millions more at the National Archives. He produced one of the earliest books about the president's death, in 1965.
Mr. Weisberg also became a leading authority on the 1968 King killing & was an investigator on behalf of James Earl Ray, who pleaded guilty to the crime but later recanted his story.
Mr. Weisberg came to believe that neither Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused Kennedy gunman, nor Ray was responsible for the deaths of the prominent leaders. He focused on what he considered the inadequacies of the government investigations, specifically an improper probe of the available evidence. But for all his work, he never found definitive answers.
He detested many other students of conspiracy, foremost filmmaker Oliver Stone, whose 1991 "JFK" spun out all kinds of theories about the president's death.
"To do a mishmash like this is out of love for the victim & respect for history?" Mr. Weisberg said to The Washington Post. "I think people who sell sex have more principle."
In contrast, Mr. Weisberg presented information he gleaned from government investigative papers in an often dry manner--even if that belied his cover tag lines promising "the end of the cover-up--official lies exposed. Never such an investigation--never such evidence!"
His first literary success was a self-published work called Whitewash: The Report on the Warren Report (1965). After being turned down by several publishers, he publicized the book himself & sold more than 30,000 copies. Dell then published it & a follow up, Whitewash II: The FBI-Secret Service Cover Up (both 1966).
Other books followed, including: Oswald in New Orleans: Case of Conspiracy with the C.I.A. (Canyon Books, 1967); Martin Luther King: The Assassination (Carroll & Graf, 1993); and Case Open: The Unanswered JFK Assassination Questions (Carroll & Graf, 1994).
Mr. Weisberg, a Philadelphia native, grew up in Wilmington DE, the son of Russian Jewish immigrants. He attended the University of Delaware & then wrote articles for the Wilmington Morning News & the Sunday supplement of the Philadelphia Ledger.
In the late 1930s, he worked for La Follette, who chaired a special Senate investigating committee commonly called the La Follette Civil Liberties Committee. Mr. Weisberg was sent to look at suspected labor-rights violations in Harlan County, Ky.
During World War II, he served in the Army & the Office of Strategic Services. He joined State after the war but left in the late 1940s. He turned to farm life near Hyattsville with his wife, & they won prizes for their poultry. They also were early participants in a Peace Corps program called "Geese for Peace," in which the birds were shipped overseas to be raised in poverty-stricken countries. He turned to writing full-time after relinquishing farm life in the mid-1960s.
By that time, Mr. Weisberg's fascination with the Kennedy death was solidified. In September 1964, the President's Commission on the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy -- called the Warren Commission -- concluded that Oswald was solely responsible for

Weisberg certainly deserves the title as "dean of assassination researchers." The problem with this book and all of his other writings was the desperate need for a good editor.

The author has written several books about the JFK assassination; this one focuses almost exclusively on the faked autopsy at Bethesda Naval Hospital, and associated cover up/suppression of evidence by the FBI and Warren Commission. There is a lot of detail documenting the author's multi-year legal battles to uncover information. It's pretty obvious that Oswald was a patsy and the FBI framed him for the murder.
