An Oldie but a Goodie

I'm glad I found a copy of this old book. Mark lane has been a hero of mine for a long time, & it was interesting to hear the tribulations he was forced to suffer as a result of publishing Rush to Judgement, one of the first dissenting opinions on the Warren Report. Well, here we are, 60 years later, & Mr Lane has been proven right due to the fact that his book opened many pairs of eyes to the truth of the coverup. I have to laugh at the clumsy attempts made by defenders of the WR to repudiate many of Lane's theories; they have a habit of misquoting both him & the witnesses to JFK's assassination interviewed by Lane. (It's obvious none of them have read Rush to Judgement, so they don't know what they're talking about.) Rest in Peace, Mr Lane.

An INVALUABLE Resource on the Question: Who REALLY Killed a President of the U.S.

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2016

Verified Purchase

An invaluable resource. I had read and taken notes from a library edition years ago - but when I found my local library no longer had one on it's shelves, I decided I needed to buy one for 'documentation'. Mark Lane did an invaluable service regarding the question of WHO REALLY killed John Kennedy. Lee Oswald's mother asked him to defend her son before Oswald was killed by Ruby. Lane already had nagging questions from the very first "news stories" he had heard before Oswald's mother contacted him - so when Ruby killed Oswald, Lane continued investigating on his own - and accumulated VERY substantial evidence contrary to the "Warren Commission" farcical findings.
Mark Lane then continued working to "keep the story alive" - mostly by speaking at college campuses on the subject, until enough concern had been raised that a SECOND official government investigation was initiated. Most Americans are NOT EVEN AWARE that there WAS a second OFFICIAL U.S. government investigation ...let alone WHAT evidence it turned up, or what it's official and UN-official findings were.
Some organizations and people I know who consider themselves "conservatives" won't consider anything that Mark Lane found, because they consider him a "Liberal." But facts and evidence are neither Liberal nor Conservative ...they're simply FACTS. Mark Lane did an invaluable service by documenting crucial evidence, and KEEPING the questions alive ...for anyone who REALLY cares about the future of the U.S.

An early classic

I read this back in the late 60s when it was in paperback. Amazing follow-up volume to "Rush To Judgment." Mark Lane was an early critic of The Warren Report - and for good reason. Students of this case should read the work of early pioneers who challenged the 'official story' and who laid the groundwork for later efforts.

Interesting look at the media coverage of the 60s

Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2013

Lane's followup to Rush to Judgment chronicles his difficulty in getting the book published, his battles with the mainstream media, and his debates with defenders of the Warren Commission. Harold Weisberg later wrote an unpublished manuscript rebuttal to it called "A Citizen's Descent," attacking Lane for not giving more credit to other researchers and their work.

A Citizen's Dissent gives an excellent account of the media's role in covering the assassination, the Warren Commission, and its critics. Lane says that the initially diligent reporters covering the assassination quickly backed off as "witnesses began to report that they had been advised by local and Federal authorities not to talk to journalists." Foreign reporters were not so obliging: "representatives of three of Italy's leading newspapers arranged for a rifle test from the sixth floor of the Book Depository. With a camera fitted to a Carcano carbine, Dallas rifle experts were asked to 'fire' at another reporter who was driven past the building in a convertible. When the developed film showed that the local experts had not been as proficient as Oswald, the order came to seal off the Book Depository to all media representatives and nongovernmental investigators."

The American press began to wonder why the Europeans were so darn conspiracy-minded. Lane singles out a few reporters who kept an independent stance: Peter Kihss of the New York Times, Thayer Waldo of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Richard Dudman of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and Dorothy Kilgallen. Overall, Lane is dismayed that so many self-described liberals have knuckled under on this subject: "It was not Barry Goldwater and William Buckley [who defended the Warren Commission], but I.F. Stone and David Susskind. Neither was it the Daughters of the American Revolution that sought to interfere with the investigation of the New Orleans District Attorney; it was the American Civil Liberties Union, which was itself in large part responsible for the inability of Oswald to meet with counsel prior to his death."

Continues the Mark Lane story after publishing Rush to Judgment

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2011

If I had to compare this book to any other book, it reminds me of the sequel Jim Bouton wrote in the early seventies to "Ball Four". It was titled "I'm glad you didn't take it personally" and if you loved Ball Four, you will like the second book. But its not a sequel in the true sense of the word but really a behind the scenes narrative of the publication of his first book.

In the same sense, A Citizen's Dissent is not a sequel to Rush to Judgment, like Plausible Denial, Lane's later book, truly is. A Citizen's Dissent is the story of the publication of Rush to Judgment. If you recognized the importance of that work and enjoyed it, you will simply enjoy this book for that very reason. If you didn't read Rush to Judgment and don't care about the Lane story, you won't get much from this book.

A Citizen's Dissent picks up with the publication of Rush to Judgment and tells the fascinating story of Lane's difficulties in publishing that book and when its popularity took off, the numerous encounters he had trying to defend the book. There is very little here for people interested in finding out more information about the Kennedy assassination, however if you are interested in the Establishment's response against a book and author who sent shockwaves through its very foundation, read this book.
