A shocking exposé of the US government’s failure to investigate the assassination of President John F. Kennedy—with a new forward by Dick Russell.
Journalist Gaeton Fonzi was hired by two congressional committees to investigate the assassination of JFK. His masterful retelling of that work—and its findings—is required reading for anyone with a serious interest in the murder and the government’s failure to solve it. The Last Investigation is a compelling postmortem on the House Select Committee on Assassinations, as well as a riveting account of Fonzi’s pursuit of leads indicating involvement by officers of the CIA.
First published in 1993, The Last Investigation was a landmark book upon its release. More than a mere indictment of the committee’s work, it tells the story of the important leads Fonzi developed as an investigator, which sent him into the milieu of Kennedy-haters among anti-Castro exiles and the CIA. In this fascinating narrative, the author follows a trail that leads him to CIA agents David Atlee Phillips and David Morales. New records declassified under the JFK Records Act have only added to the dark questions raised here.
“Fonzi brings to the continuing puzzlement over the JFK murder a Chandleresque hardness and wonderment.” —Oliver Stone
“Historians and researchers consider Mr. Fonzi’s book among the best . . . and credit him with raising doubts about the government’s willingness to share everything it knew.” —The New York Times
