How did federal authorities prevent the House Select Committee on Assassinations from discovering the truth about the CIA&rsquo;s involvement? In Last Word, Lane shares exclusive interviews, sworn testimony, and meticulous research (including commentary from Oliver Stone, Robert K. Tanenbaum, Abraham Bolden, and Dallas Police deputy sheriffs) to present exactly what happened the day JFK was assassinated. He includes statements given to the Warren Commission by a police officer who confronted a man he thought was the assassin.

Last Word proves that the CIA, operating in secret, prepared all credentials for Secret Service agents in Dallas for the two days that Kennedy was going to be there&mdash;conclusive evidence of the CIA&rsquo;s involvement in the assassination. With an Introduction by New York Times bestselling author Robert K. Tanenbaum and a Chapter by Academy Award-winning director Oliver Stone. &ldquo;Disturbingly convincing.&rdquo; &mdash;Library Journal Xpress Review</div>
