Shortly after the death of President John F. Kennedy, President Johnson asked Chief Justice Earl Warren to head a presidential commission investigating the assassination of the president. What was formally known as the President's Commission quickly became known as the Warren Commission. The committee members were a bipartisan group from different government agencies, meant to avoid any appearance of a cover-up. The commission served from December 1963 until October 1964, concluding with the publication of the Warren Commission Report. Judge Warren advocated for more transparency in the final analysis but was rebuffed due to ongoing secret government actions. As a result, the lone gunman conclusion of the Warren Commission report was met with public skepticism, including from the author of this work. Signed.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. No date on the title page. Copyright page dated only 1955, 1956, with publication code F-F below. The first printing has the code M-E, according to consensus of dealers. The M-E code means December 1955. The code in this copy, F-F, means June 1956. 266 pages. Bound with black cloth spine with gold lettering. Blue cloth over boards. Some minor edgewear, but no significant damage of any sort. After the front endpaper, there is a detached page that appears once to have been tipped in between endpaper and half-title page. It is the same size as the pages in the book, but is a different kind of paper. Top edge browned. Some old glue residue at inner edge. The page is signed "John Kennedy" Kennedy's signature is notoriously variable and messy. In addition, he used autopens to mechanically sign things. AND his staff routinely signed his name on correspondence. I have not been able to match this signature (in blue ballpoint pen) to any of the known and numbered Secretarial signatures, nor to the autopen -- Unfortunately, it also does not match perfectly with known Kennedy signatures, which usually look like they say anything EXCEPT John Kennedy. I suspect that this is a secretarial signature, but I'd be interested to know what any experts who see this might think. Kennedy was still in the Senate when this book was published. It won him the Pulitzer Prize in 1956 (even though Ted Sorenson wrote most of the book). Please email with questions or to request photos. Signed by Author(s).
