From the Report's original 1964 Introduction:

"President Lyndon B. Johnson, by Executive Order No. 11130 dated November 29, 1963, created this Commission to investigate the assassination on November 22, 1963, of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States. The President directed the Commission to evaluate all the facts and circumstances surrounding the assassination and the subsequent killing of the alleged assassin and to report its findings and conclusions to him.

"The subject of the Commission's inquiry was a chain of events which saddened and shocked the people of the United States and of the world. The assassination of President Kennedy and the simultaneous wounding of John B. Connally, Jr., Governor of Texas, had been followed within an hour by the slaying of Patrolman J. D. Tippit of the Dallas Police Department. In the United States and abroad, these events evoked universal demands for an explanation....

"With this report the Commission is submitting the complete testimony of all the witnesses who appeared before the Commission or gave sworn depositions or affidavits, the accompanying documentary exhibits, and other investigative materials which are relied upon in this report."

Not what I expected.

This Book was actually far more entertaining to listen to than I thought it would be. Although I'm still left with plenty of questions, I can see that the Warren Commission thoroughly looked into and documented the lives of the main people involved in the assassination. if you have any interest at all in the JFK assassination I suggest you read or listen too this book. I'd also recommend picking up a hard copy of the book to makes notes and view the photo evidence mentioned in the report.

Truth, lies, deception…

I take this report with a grain of salt. There is much that has come out since this report was given to the public in 1964. Some people swear by this report and some do not. You read it yourself and decide…

Great Read!

Audible made this an easy read! This is a detailed account of the investigation of the Kennedy assassination. For the conspiracy junkies out there it's always good to get both sides of the argument.

No matter how much you thought you knew about this topic you will be surprised at what a good read this is

I was concerned that this book would be very boring. It was interesting how they were able to weave so many details into a readable format. It’s worth reading for its historical value.

Great information

Excellent book. I do still believe the assassination was an inside job. Instead of providing other sources that contradict the Warren Commission’s theory, it is simply stated that “no credible sources were found.” Define credible.
