Book excerpt: In this “illuminating” insider account “Willens covers all his bases [in] a chapter-by-chapter breakdown of the [Warren] commission report.” (Publishers Weekly) Everything was over in seconds, but the events of November 22, 1963 have been debated for more than five decades. The presidential commission tasked with finding the truth about the Kennedy assassination, headed by then-Chief Justice Earl Warren, concluded that Oswald had acted alone. But the report did little to quell conspiracy theorists. Warren himself calmly dismissed the criticism, assuring his fellow commission members that “history will prove that we are right.” This eye-opening account by Howard P. Willens, one of the few living staff members of the Warren Commission, reveals that Warren's words were prescient. Drawn from Willens' own journals and extensive notes on the investigation, History Will Prove Us Right tells the complete story of every aspect of the investigation into one of the century's most controversial events from a uniquely first-person perspective. “Fascinating . . . Many will still disagree with the Warren Commission’s conclusion, but this book serves a valuable function by laying out how it did its work.” —Booklist “ A behind-the-scenes take on the investigation, its personalities and methodology. One by one [Willens] discards alternatives to the lone gunman theory.” —The Guardian “The commission got it right — Oswald was the sole assassin —and that conclusion holds up after 50 years of scrutiny.” —The Washington Post “Willens's account deserves close and careful scrutiny by anyone interested in the Kennedy assassination.” —Library Journal “A superbly written account by someone who knows precisely what needs to be said and how to say it.” —Kirkus Reviews
