Plausible Denial; Was the CIA Involved in the Assassination of JFK?
New York: Thunder's Mouth Press, 1991. First Printing. Hardcover. xvi, [2], 393, [5] pages. Occasional footnotes. Chronology. CIA Cast of Characters. Introduction by L. Fletcher Prouty. Appendix. Index. Mark Lane (February 24, 1927 – May 10, 2016) was an American attorney, New York state legislator, civil rights activist, and Vietnam war-crimes investigator. In 1959, Lane helped found the Reform Democrat movement within the New York Democratic Party. He was elected with the support of Eleanor Roosevelt and presidential candidate John F. Kennedy (JFK) to the New York Legislature in 1960. He is best known as a leading researcher, author, and conspiracy theorist on the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy. From his 1966 number-one bestselling critique of the Warren Commission, Rush to Judgment, to Last Word: My Indictment of the CIA in the Murder of JFK, published in 2011, Lane wrote at least four major works on the JFK assassination and no fewer than ten books overall. Derived from a Kirkus review: The author offers his most damning version yet of CIA wrongdoing. Lane assembles his evidence and builds to a riveting climax: an eyewitness account of CIA spy E. Howard Hunt paying off a CIA- backed Cuban assassination team in Dallas the night before the murder and clearly setting up Jack Ruby--before the assassination- -to kill Oswald, the patsy, who never fired a shot. Lane's evidence is drawn from a trial he conducted in 1978 while defending a small magazine, Spotlight, which had lost a defamation suit brought against it by Hunt. Lane saw his opportunity ever to cross- examine top figures in his assassination scenario. He deposes CIA directors Richard Helms and Stansfield Turner, G. Gordon Liddy, Hunt himself--and strikes gold in CIA agent Marita Lorenz, who, under oath, ells of a talk with the proud assassin. Lane's convincing report sounds like the last word on the assassination. Condition: Very good / Very good.
