A "New York Times" Bestseller

"Jaw-dropping scenes involving the destruction and manipulation of evidence... A persuasive, deeply researched account... A compelling read."--"The Washington Post"

""A Cruel and Shocking Act"has authority, is tantalizingly readable and is convincing in its claim that the Warren Commission was unable or unwilling to uncover the total truth. [Shenon's] work, I submit, is the one to read."--"The Wall Street Journal"

An achievement that, I believe, merits the Pulitzer Prize and the thanks of a grateful nation."--Slate.com

"["A Cruel and Shocking Act"] contains a number of startling facts... [and] juicy and informative details that shed new light on the JFK investigation.... The book reveals how the investigation was immediately taken over by the very government agencies -- the CIA, FBI and Secret Service -- that had the most to hide when it came to the assassination.... A remarkable story."-- David Talbot, Salon.com

"A judicious account of the Warren Commission, as recalled by the lawyers who did its legwork. A." "Entertainment Weekly"

"Magnificent... An incredible book."--Bob Schieffer, CBS News

"I love this book. It is a terrific read."--Lou Dobbs, Lou Dobbs Tonight

"Impressive... [Shenon] documents the extent to which agencies and actors in those days withheld and even destroyed information that should have gone to the Warr

Descripción Paperback. Condición: New. Philip Shenon's book pieces together the compelling story of the most important, and most misunderstood, homicide investigation in 20th-century America: the Warren Commission inquiry and its conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone to assassinate the President. Drawing on unprecedented access to surviving Commission staff and other key witnesses, Shenon reveals how much of the truth about the Kennedy assassination has not been told and how much evidence was 'shredded, incinerated or erased' before it reached the Commission.  Nº de ref. del artículo: 518529
