There will never be another government investigation of JFK's assassination, and in The Last Investigation an insider tells why. Gaeton Fonzi, an investigator for the House Select Committee on Assassinations and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, reveals the distorted priorities, the manipulations, and the political machinations designed to derail legitimate efforts to solve the murder of a democratically elected president. He explains how and why the committee refused to hear public testimony from key witnesses, avoided taking action against high-ranking intelligence agents who committed perjury, and deliberately distorted its interpretation of evidence in order to give its final report the false appearance of substance.The Last Investigation was a landmark release in 1993 among the growing volumes of JFK assassination literature. It contains no wild conspiracy theories, no reckless assertions of government cover-up or duplicity. Fonzi, drawing from firsthand knowledge, unreleased documents, and still-secret files, offers suspenseful accounts of discovering new evidence of conspiracy while tracking elusive witnesses, only to find them suddenly dead under mysterious circumstances. With powerful new evidence, he concludes his fifteen-year search for the identity of legendary spymaster Maurice Bishop, who was last seen in Dallas in September of 1963 with Oswald. He also reveals the significant new data he uncovered--the first verified link between the CIA and Lee Harvey Oswald--and then discloses how the Assassination Committee bosses deliberately slammed the door on the evidence.Now, in time for the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy, Skyhorse Publishing is proud to reissue the definitive edition of The Last Investigation, accompanied by a new preface written by the late author's wife. Both a suspenseful spy story and an important historical document, The Last Investigation is essential reading for everyone who wants to understand what went wrong with the government probe that left the Kennedy assassination an appalling, unresolved chapter in our country's history.
