Fascinating look at the personalities behind the smoky hall of mirrors known as the Central Intelligence Agency. Lane does a wonderful job of bringing these "spooky" (excuse the pun) figures down to earth. I love the anecdote where one such indivdidual gets righteously insulted at being called a "spy." Spies work FOR him, the gentleman claimed, but he himself was no spy!
In any case, it would be wonderful if we could say that Lane solved the murder case in this book. But there are problems. First of all, his attempt to find a motive on the part of the Agency is weak. To see this agency acting as a single unit with a unified objective at the time is oversimplified and probably wrong. There were low-level individuals operating out of the range of their superiors, and this is what ought to have been investigated more closely when the case had warmer leads than it does today. Secondly, and more importantly, Lane bases his solution on the testimony of a single witness. Granted, she has enormous credibility, but I'm not sure it would have been enough to have convicted Hunt of conspiracy at a criminal trial. For the record, though, I tended, like the jury, to believe the witness. Lane found the most plausible scenario describing what happened on the day before the murder. To me, though, it does not suggest that an entire government agency plotted a murder, but suggests a smaller, more localized act of vengeance by small bands of what we would now call terrorists. These small groups had full access to the government agency, and if Lane's witness told the truth, they used their access to accomplish their goal. When you think about it, such a "conspiracy" needn't have been all that "vast" or even very complex.
They've sure done a lousy job of covering it up over the years, haven't they!

Witness Supports Mark Lane's Plausible Denial

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2000

I was shattered by the assassination of President Kennedy and watched the events on t.v. I was a student at U.C.L.A. I recall so often having been full of pride for my country because of the words he spoke at a press conference which I heard on the car radio as I drove to the university.
Friday, November 22, 1963. I remained in front of the t.v. for endless hours. Certainly never, in my imagination, did it occur that I would eventually be involved in the investigation of the murder of the President.
While I was in college, and because of my respect for President Kennedy, I wrote him a letter and received an aides' letter back. It remained framed above my desk for years. I got a lot of ribbing from my roommates. I transferred to UCLA. I continued to be proud of my country and my President. And then, he was murdered.
I recall when I drove to Santa Barbara to hear Mark Lane speak about his book, Rush To Judgment.
I spent time with Mark Lane and learned about New Orleans District Attorney, Jim Garrison. And when Mark introduced me to him, I offered my services at no cost, as a specialist in photography, never realizing how important that promise might become.
Mark Lane's commitment to the truth and to bringing the assassins to justice for the murder of John Kennedy never wavered and I decided to work for Garrison and with Lane nomatter what. I was motivated by my respect for what John Kennedy meant to me as a President. I also respected Lane and Garrison for their absolute, clear and selfless dedication to the task of prosecuting the assassins of President Kennedy. Mark Lane had been the friend of President Kennedy and his campaign manager for the presidential campaign in in New York. Lane's analysis of the assassination in his first book, and later in PLAUSIBLE DENIAL, demonstrated his unique mind as an attorney, that of someone who would eventually become one of our nation's history's greatest advocates. Lane's world famous book, Rush To Judgment, became the number one best seller in America and the world in the first year of its publication. Though his book was clearly a classic cornerstone of history, the U.S. publishers initially turned it down. Lane eventually had to go to a British publishing company to get it published, though almost all of the American publishers initially wanted it and even some of them even "optioned" it, though they unexpectedly later rejected it after a visit from the FBI agents answsering to Hoover.
The truth about the facts of the assassination of President Kennedy survives today because of one man, Mark Lane, who lived by the words of Kennedy when he said that one man could make a difference.
I had no idea that the FBI, the CIA, and law enforcement in New Orleans and Louisiana, were so commited to stopping those of us who were simimlarly dedicated to exposing the truth about the political assassination of president Kennedy.
Eventually, we all endured a life changing events as a result of our commitments. As of this writing, I have elected not to write a book about this subject. However, I encourage you to read Mark Lane's historic works on the subject if you want to know the truth. In fact, government agencies have spent millions of dollars to publish things on the Internet to respond to Mark Lane's works. You would be shocked at how much the government has used of your tax dollars to establish a "lasting denial" of Lane's books on the subject. Nothing is more appropriate than the quote of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., than the phrase that, "the truth crushed to earth shall rise again." In the case of the assassination of our President, John Kennedy, the works in writing of the life dedicated by Mark Lane to that truth about the assassination of John Kennedy will ultimately prevail.
As one person, who has participated in the investigation, first hand, I urge you to read PLAUSIBLE DENIAL. And I hope that history will soon record the truth about who really killed our dear President. I know that I will continue to work on getting the history books corrected from what they have published now. I assure you that what your children read regarding the 1963 assassination of President Kennedy, is neither true nor what he would want your children to read in terms of what he stood for as a man, as a senator, as a president, or as a fallen leader.

This is a must for understanding the power of government. It contains a lot of the trial transcript
that hung e. howard hunt out to dry, and a jury that said it was convinced the cia planned the jfk
assassination. And reveals one of the biggest news blackouts ever. This is not flying saucers folks.

I thought I had heard everything about the JFK assasination and Mark Lane and thought I was done with it. But no! This book is very well written and full of information not often, if ever, bandied about on talk shows or in magazine articles. Plus, it's a great read! (I've only found one editorial typo!) If you are interested in this subject this book is a Ground Zero Starting Point. I couldn't put it down!

A very interesting, thought provoking book. Being interested in the assignation of JFK this books if authentic makes you consider what power government bodies such as the FBI have, and if they willed such power back in the 60s what have and are they capable of today.

I thought this was a brilliantly written book and really opened my eyes to what goes on in the intelligence world which is full of devious characters and makes one wonder who really runs the country. JFK never had a chance with this lot in charge.
