Editorial reviews

Whether you’re a historian, a long-time John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theorist, or just an average Joe with a keen interest in intricately constructed cases, Mark Lane’s Last Word: My Indictment of the CIA in the Murder of JFK is bound to prove, at the very least, extremely difficult to turn off.

Mark Boyett performs this engrossing audiobook with aplomb, his careful pacing adding a layer of detachment and objectivity to this highly impassioned work. Lane is a compelling storyteller with a clear and apparent investment in the subject matter; it’s difficult not to feel fascinated and intrigued by the complex web he weaves.

Publisher's Summary

The last word on the JFK assassination by the New York Times best-selling author and JFK historian!

Mark Lane tried the only US court case in which the jurors concluded that the CIA plotted the murder of President Kennedy, but there was always a missing piece: How did the CIA control cops and Secret Service agents on the ground in Dealey Plaza? How did federal authorities prevent the House Select Committee on Assassinations from discovering the truth about the complicity of the CIA?

Now, Mark Lane tells all in this explosive new book, with exclusive new interviews, sworn testimony, and meticulous new research (including interviews with Oliver Stone, Dallas Police deputy sheriffs, Robert K. Tanenbaum, and Abraham Bolden). Lane finds out first hand exactly what went on the day JFK was assassinated. He includes sworn statements given to the Warren Commission by a police officer who confronted a man who he thought was the assassin. The officer testified that he drew his gun and pointed it at the suspect, who showed Secret Service ID. Yet, the Secret Service later reported that there were no Secret Service agents on foot in Dealey Plaza.

The Last Word proves that the CIA, operating through a secret small group, prepared all credentials for Secret Service agents in Dallas for the two days that Kennedy was going to be there - conclusive evidence of the CIA's involvement in the assassination.

Enlightening

I am a 70 year old Australian with an interest in firearms all my life. When President Kennedy was Assassinated I was 12 years old. When I was told that the President was shot with a 6.5 Carcano and a 4 power scope, I said to my mum, mum, that man didn’t shoot thePresident with that rifle, being a grossly inaccurate weapon, and also saying that he was shot from the front and rear. I loved this book, and at the same time, Hate the CIA and all there cohorts.

Lots of well sourced information. Good rebuttal by Mark on criticism leveled towards him. last couple of chapters were a bit tough.
