Hand Signed by the late Preident Gerald R. Ford. This is his final book and provides the reader with Ford's thoughts on issues concerning us all today from 9-11 to the presidents he knew. Photo of Gerald R. Ford signing the books comes with each copy sold along with Certificate of Authenticity and Serial Number. "I completely replaced cabinet and staff. You may recognize some of my appointees: George H.W. Bush - Director, CIA Richard Cheney - Chief of Staff Donald Rumsfeld - Secretary of Defense Alan Greenspan - Chairman, Council of Economic Advisors; ;Difficulties with FBI-CIA interagency communications were among our key findings, and that was reinforced by later investigations. Why were those communications still so inadequate in September of 2001?; Did a renegade official, a criminal organization, or some other government influence their actions? The assassination was a national tragedy, but what made it a frustrating nightmare was that only two days later, as the presumed assassin was being transported to the Dallas County jail, he was murdered by Jack Ruby. Coincidence or conspiracy? Given the new facts, could there still have been a conspiracy? Conceivably....." This is an heirloom. One that Ford gifted to his friends in teh White House and to other world leaders. This was his project, his book which he helped design as a part of his legacy.

About the Author

Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr. born Leslie Lynch King, Jr., July 14, 1913 December 26, 2006 was the 38th President of the United States 1974 1977 and 40th Vice President of the United States 1973 1974. Prior to 1973, he served for over eight years as the Republican Minority Leader of the House of Representatives; he was first elected to Congress in 1948 from Michigan's 5th congressional district. Ford was the first person appointed to the vice presidency under the terms of the 25th Amendment, and became President upon Richard Nixon's resignation. As president, he signed the Helsinki Accords, marking a move toward détente in the Cold War, even as the former ally South Vietnam was invaded and conquered by North Vietnam. Ford did not intervene in Vietamese affairs, but did help extract friends of the U.S. Domestically, the economy suffered from inflation and a recession under President Ford. One of his more controversial decisions was granting a presidential pardon to President Richard Nixon for his role in the Watergate scandal. In 1976, Ford narrowly defeated Ronald Reagan for the Republican nomination, but ultimately lost the presidential election to Democrat Jimmy Carter. After experiencing health troubles and being admitted to hospital four times in 2006, Ford died on December 26 of that year, aged 93.

This review is from: Signed Limited Edition President John F Kennedy Assassination Report of the Warren Commission (Leather Bound)

I straddle the fence on whether I believe the lone gunman theory that was the conclusion of the Warren Commission, but there's no equivocation about my admiration for this beautiful leatherbound, gilt-edged edition which includes a new Foreword by President Gerald Ford. Also, while I disagree with Ford's pardoning of Nixon, there's no denying the historical importance of the work he did on the Warren Commission, and it's safe to assume that his new material in this edition will represent his final public thoughts on the JFK assassination.

This review is from: Signed Limited Edition President John F Kennedy Assassination Report of the Warren Commission (Leather Bound)

This book features many never-before-seen photos from the Kennedy Presidential Library as well as a new introduction from President Gerald Ford. I found this new foreword very fascinating. He went into great detail about many of the misconceptions abou the Warren Commission and was quite candid. He mentioned many names of people who are currently in high offices in the U.S. Government.
The quality of this book is amazing and it tops anything the Easton Press has ever done!
