The famous book that “argued for a conspiracy involving anti-Castro Cubans . . . instrumental in establishing conspiracy theory as mainstream pursuit” (Los Angeles Times).
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.
“By far the most meticulous and compelling indictment of the Warren Commission Report ever made. The significance of this book cannot be overstated.” —Former Sen. Richard S. Schweiker, from the Foreword
“Her book has a bull-dog tenacity; it is surely to be considered among the responsible criticisms of the Commission.” —Kirkus Reviews
