review 1: Given the subject matter and length of this book (over 600 pages), it was definitely an effort to wade through it. However, I think anyone who either lived through the Kennedy Assassination; or who is interested in finding out what actually happened in its aftermath will find this book a riveting read. The book is more a history of the Warren Commission, its composition, investigation, report writing and publication, and the impact of its findings.There are many disturbing facts revealed in this book that will definitely make one question his or her trust in our government officials. I won't go into detail here as I think each reader should form his or her own opinion about the Warren Commission Report findings and what they may mean. I will say that there is a good ch... moreance the assassination could have been prevented if all involved had done there jobs; and that many conspiracy theories could have been nipped in the bud if there had not been the "ass covering", lack of evidence sharing, and just plain incompetence shown by many individuals and agencies involved.The Warren Commission had the opportunity to answer many questions regarding the assassination. I think the investigators did a fair job given what they had to work with. However, after reading this book, there will always a certain degree of uncertainty, in my mind at least surrounding the Commission's findings.
review 2: Yet another 2013 publication conveniently released in time for the 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination. I found too many reasons to dislike Philip Shenon's book. The sub-title 'The Secret History of the Kennedy Assassination' is a complete misnomer. Hardly a page is passed without the disparaging of conspiracy theories or theorists. The main recipient of these slights is Mark Lane, yet tucked away on p602 in the authors Acknowledgments he writes, "I know now that the title of his most famous, bestselling book about the Warren Commission, 'Rush to Judgment', was an appropriate one".Although I found interest in the chronological documentation of the Commission, its commissioners, junior lawyers and staffers, this book is too long and does not expose sufficiently the flawed investigation of the FBI, or the cover-up by CIA as well as the agenda of Warren to fit up Oswald as the lone nut. Shenon writes on p269, "In the decades that followed, scientific studies, using methods unavailable to the Warren Commission in 1964, would validate the single-bullet theory." Really! Unfortunately there is no elaboration to this wild conspiracy theory.The above is a perfect summa for these six hundred plus pages. The casual or first time reader of this case is convinced of the lone assassin's guilt, spoon fed page after page of fifty year old false evidence that this author makes no effort to question. less
