A Citizen’s Dissent

Description

A Citizen’s Dissent is the alarming account of the vast efforts of the powerful and influential forces of our government and the establishment media to suppress Mark Lane’s investigation into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and prevent the publication of Rush to Judgment and its critique of the Warren Report. The bestselling author of Rush to Judgment and Plausible Denial describes how he first became involved in investigating the assassination, the call from Marguerite Oswald to defend her son, and recounts Lane’s testimony before the Warren Commission. In his efforts to present a dissenting opinion from the official view of President Kennedy’s assassination, Lane encountered massive opposition from nearly every media outlet in America and was harassed and followed by the FBI. For almost a year Lane submitted his manuscript to publisher after publisher in the United States, but every company refused to print it, even while conceding that his documentation was accurate. Lane finally found success in England and the book became the number one bestseller that year. Foiled in their attempts to suppress the publication, the establishment Warren Report defenders instead determined to discredit Lane to prevent him from further getting his message out to the American people. Here, too, are the stories of the few media broadcasters who took the risk of letting Lane speak out. This book is Lane’s explosive response to those critics that destroys their attempts to cover up the truth of the assassination.
