Harold Weisberg's Whitewash was self-published in 1965, at a time when few publishing houses would consider a book challenging the Warren Report. Written in Harold's fiercely passionate yet scrupulously honest style, and relying on the government's own evidence and documentation, Whitewash destroys the Warren Commission's claims about Oswald and shows that the Commission knowingly engaged in a coverup.

Among the most important and revelatory of the declassified JFK assassination records is the House Select Committee on Assassinations' suppressed report on Lee Harvey Oswald's alleged trip to Mexico City in the fall of 1963. First available in 1993, and now with fewer blacked-out "redactions," this volume discusses one of the most mysterious and important matters of the Kennedy murder. Unlike most such government reports, the Lopez-Hardway Report brims with unanswered questions and suspicions of a CIA cover-up. In this report, the Committee questions the CIA's assertions that no photograph of Lee Harvey Oswald was obtained by surveillance cameras, that CIA had no knowledge of Oswald's contact with the Cuban Embassy before 11/22/63, and that tapes of a person calling himself Lee Harvey Oswald were "routinely erased" prior to the murder of President Kennedy. These tapped phone calls connected Oswald to a suspected Soviet assassination expert, and raised alarm bells in Washington DC. With evidence suggesting that Oswald was impersonated in Mexico City, the question is raised--who would frame Oswald in such a way as to make it look like the KGB or Castro killed JFK?

Harold Weisberg was foremost among the early trailblazers who saw the inadequacy of the Warren Report's solution to the Crime of the Century. He tirelessly petitioned the government and used the courts to force release of withheld documents, and wrote dozens of books and manuscripts on the subject, including the Whitewash series, Oswald in New Orleans, PostMortem, Never Again, and Case Open, along with many unpublished manuscripts. He also wrote Frame-Up on the murder of Martin Luther King, Jr. Harold died in 2002 at the age of 88.In Photographic Whitewash, Weisberg wrote:"What little use was made of the photographic evidence that the government did not dare ignore was of deliberately dishonest intent. The record is overwhelming that no effort was made to learn what the relatively few pictures used really show. These pictures were twisted in their use, interpreted to make it seem that they might be in accord with what the government had earlier decided upon. They are not!"

Photographic Whitewash: Suppressed Kennedy Assassination Pictures

Peter Dale Scott has written extensively on the Kennedy assassination and other dark corners of the American political scene. His encyclopedic knowledge enables him to connect the dots among the players, the organizations, and the unacknowledged collusions - the deep politics - of our often troubled political system. Deep Politics II narrows the focus of Scott's earlier Deep Politics and the Death of JFK; more than half the book is taken up with the most detailed treatment yet of the mysterious sojourn of Lee Harvey Oswald, or someone using his name, to Mexico City in the fall of 1963. It is now known that allegations of communist conspiracy in the wake of the JFK assassination, emanating mostly from Mexico City, caused Lyndon Johnson to put together a "blue ribbon commission" to "lay the dust" of Dallas. LBJ told Warren Commissioner Richard Russell that "we've got to take this out of the arena where they're testifying that Khruschev and Castro did this and did that and kicking us into a war that can kill 40 million Americans in an hour."If, as Peter Scott's analysis suggests, the evidence from Mexico City was part of a frame-up, then this puts a whole new light on the "communist conspiracy" allegations.

Twelve years after the publication of the Warren Report, the Schweiker-Hart subcommittee of the Church Committee's intelligence investigation "developed evidence which impeaches the process by which the intelligence agencies arrived at their own conclusions about the assassination, and by which they provided information to the Warren Commission," and flatly called that investigation "deficient."The report takes the FBI and CIA both to task for withholding important information from the Warren Commission, in particular the existence of plots to assassinate the Cuban leader, Fidel Castro.On Face the Nation a few months following the publication of this report, Senator Richard Schweiker said that the Warren Report "has collapsed like a house of cards" and the investigation "was snuffed out before it even began."

From the back cover:Nearly 15 years after the publication of the Warren Report, which determined that Lee Harvey Oswald was not "part of any conspiracy, domestic or foreign, to assassinate President Kennedy," the House Select Committee on Assassinations reached a different conclusion:"The Committee believes, on the basis of the evidence available to it, that President John F. Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy."The Committee also investigated the murder of Martin Luther King, Jr., and reached a similar conclusion:"The Committee believes, on the basis of the circumstantial evidence available to it, that there is a likelihood that James Earl Ray assassinated Dr. Martin Luther King as a result of a conspiracy."Both conclusions are often forgotten in the history of the assassinations of the 1960s. Beyond these pronouncements, the Committee conducted several detailed studies related to both murders, and published 12 volumes of accompanying evidence in each case. The working papers of the Committee, in the Kennedy case only, were declassified in the 1990s as a result of the 1992 JFK Records Act. These files add yet more to the base of knowledge in the Kennedy assassination, and in some cases provided eye-opening contradictions to the Committee's published material.This volume is a faithful reproduction of the Final Report of the House Select Committee on Assassinations, originally published in 1979.

He also wrote Frame-Up on the murder of Martin Luther King, Jr. Harold died in 2002 at the age of 88.Oswald in New Orleans focuses on the strange 1963 summer of Lee Harvey Oswald in New Orleans, where his apparent "lone nut" pro-Castro activities have puzzled researchers for many years. This book discusses the many odd stories and colorful personalities of the Oswald-New Orleans scene: Dean Andrews, David Ferrie, Sylvia Odio, Orest Pena, Carlos Bringuier, Loran Hall, and others. Published in the early days of the ill-fated Garrison investigation, it remains an important analysis of those stories and persons.The book is complemented by online materials at www.maryferrell.org, including a 308-page appendix of documents and a "live index" which includes hyperlinks into the document appendix.

Oswald in New Orleans: Case for Conspiracy with the C.I.A.

This 1975 Interim Report of the so-called "Church Committee" documented US plots to assassinate foreign leaders. While plots to kill Cuban leader Fidel Castro are widely known, the book also discusses the details of US involvement in the murders of Patrice Lumumba (Congo), Rafael Trujillo (Dominican Republic), Rene Schneider (Chile), and Ngo Dinh Diem (South Vietnam).  Only Fidel Castro survived assassination attempts. While this report absolves the United States of actually having killed the other four leaders, ascribing their deaths to other enemies, the details and responsibility are murky in some cases. In part this is because of the system of "plausible deniability" which the Church Committee discovered was built into the assassination plots. In the end, the Committee was unable to categorically state whether any US President actually approved of these plots.

Weisberg's friend David Wrone, author of The Zapruder Film: Reframing JFK's Assassination, says this about Whitewash II:"Four decades after its first appearance, Whitewash II--the FBI-Secret Service Coverup still stands as one of the foremost books depicting the great federal refusal properly to investigate the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The massive documentation released since then, the many books published, and the several federal investigations have only reaffirmed the soundness and clarity of the author's remarkable insight and superb analyses..."
