Philip Shenon, a reporter for The New York Times for more than twenty years, writes the first insider's history of the Warren Commission. He discovered startling information that was withheld from the commission by the CIA, FBI and others in power in Washington. The commission's ten-month investigation was doomed to fail because the man leading it – Chief Justice Earl Warren – was more committed to protecting the Kennedy family than getting to the full truth about what happened on that tragic day. Shenon's book features some of the most compelling figures of the twentieth century -- Bobby Kennedy, Jackie Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, J. Edgar Hoover, Chief Justice Warren, CIA spymasters Allen Dulles and Richard Helms, as well as the CIA's James Jesus Angleton.
