About this listen

Working with thousands of previously unreleased documents and drawing on more than one thousand interviews, with many witnesses speaking out for the first time, Joan Mellen revisits the investigation of New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison, the only public official to have indicted, in 1969, a suspect in President John F. Kennedy's murder.

Garrison began by exposing the contradictions in the Warren Report, which concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald was an unstable pro-Castro Marxist who acted alone in killing Kennedy. A Farewell to Justice reveals that Oswald, no Marxist, was in fact working with both the FBI and the CIA, as well as with US Customs, and that the attempts to sabotage Garrison's investigation reached the highest levels of the US government. Garrison's suspects included CIA-sponsored soldiers of fortune enlisted in assassination attempts against Fidel Castro, an anti-Castro Cuban asset, and a young runner for the conspirators, interviewed here for the first time by the author.

Building upon Garrison's effort, Mellen uncovers decisive new evidence and clearly establishes the intelligence agencies' roles in both a president's assassination and its cover-up. In this revised edition, to be published in time for the fiftieth anniversary of the president's assassination, the author reveals new sources and recently uncovered documents confirming in greater detail just how involved the CIA was in the events of November 22, 1963. More than one hundred new pages add critical evidence and information into one of the most significant events in human history.

I liked the book very much. It was an amazing story and I liked the information about Jim Garrison.

How close Jim Garrison came to the truth

It was ok. Monotone voice. Starts off ok but never seems like it has a point. If you are really into the jfk stuff then it’s ok. But if you are not familiar with the case you will get lost.

So so

It fills in the pieces the books by Jim and others as well as the movie leave out and it’s at times shocking but overall telling.

Powerful

why no chapter titles

This is just what I was looking for. After watching JFK, reading On the Trail of the Assassins by Jim Garrison and Last Word by Mark Lane, Joan Mellon takes us deeper into the story of Jim Garrison. The research involved in this book rivals Dick Russell and even Jim Garrison himself.

A Deep Dive into Jim Garrison

An absolute stunning account of the aftermath of the most shocking event in our country’s history. Joan’s revelations are told from a fly on the wall perspective. Such detail that the book can overwhelm. Her descriptions of the interlocking rogue agents listens like an out of control sennachie . A most revealing and eye opening history lesson that will make you second guess any explanation our country’s leaders try to sell us.

Our sad history

Blah blah blah could not finish it! Very repetitive, very long. I want my money back or credit back.
