Accessories After the Fact: The Warren Commission, the Authorities & the Report on the JFK Assassination

by Sylvia Meagher, Peter Dale Scott (Introduction)

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 book 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 readers are still discovering what made her work so important.

[Lynn Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is one of the seminal early books critical of the Warren Commission. The author painstakingly details everything in the Warren Report vs reality or at least logic. I wish this could have been one of the first books I started reading on this topic because the painstaking detail was mostly known to me and I got really bogged down and didn't enjoy reading it as much as I hoped but I'm now 59 and wonder if we c will ever have a final answer or some smoking gun appear but alas I think it will always be left for the individual to decide who when where and why. But the book is still excellent and I would recommend anyone starting reading on this topic to begin here.
